Hmm, I'm betting the prior poster lives in my apartment building. I too have a Cingular RazR and get absolutely no recedption in my apartment. Cingular will not waive the early termination fee, even though I have no reception whatsoever, because it's "my problem" that my building has no reception. Mind you, Verizon and T-Mobile phones both get full service in my building. It is very frustrating - it's one thing to be told that you can't get out of a contract because you've moved to the middle of nowhere. But moving within a major metropolitan area to another apartment in the same area? And still being told it's your "problem"? It's reprehensible.

Is T-Mobile reception getting worse? I used to get only one bar at work, now I get none. TMO swaped out my phone but still no dice.

In the National Academies' Keck building: no reception in most areas on the first floor, second floor, third floor, or fifth floor. Close to north-facing windows: zero or one bar. I would just set my cell phone to forward all calls to my work phone. Someone with Nextel service had great reception, though, even near the elevator. Also, south-facing offices on the fifth floor get some signal (carrier unknown). Out of the building: four bars.

When I had my old clunky Nokia phone I had no problems at all. I got the new phone from Verizon and have had nothing but trouble. I have to go outside to get and keep a call.

BEWARE of DEAD ZONE NEAR EASTERN MARKET METRO With Verizon, poor or no reception on much of this block. No reception inside my small house either. Called Verizon, they say it's a dead zone and there's nothing they can do, nor can they let me out of my contract. Neighbors have had the same problem with Cingular.

Still having problems. Cingular's customer service has been less than adequate. Two replacement models later and our phones still don't work at home. We're tired of buying calling cards to pay for the long distance we're supposedly already getting with our payment to Cingular. WE'RE SWITCHING! (see earlier posts)

We're going on a month of no service at home. Cingular has sent 2 replacement phones (the Samsung was way inferior) and neither of the phones worked. We're tired of not being able to get cell service! Funny, my phone works just about every other place I've tried it, including both coasts, Canada, and various places in between, JUST NOT AT HOME. What gives??

We've had occasional dropped calls from AT&T and Cingular. Yesterday, tho, no service whatsoever. The phones have 5 bars, but will not receive calls / text messages or send calls / text messages at the intersection listed above. They will, however, receive and send from outside DC.

Calls continually drop and the bars will show 2 or 3 when I make the call and will drop a minute into them. I am sitting right by my window in the top floor of my apartment complex, and the service is inconsistent with bad call quality. When will Sprint figure this out and fix it???

On the 4th floor of a newer bldg, home to big law firm and many wealthy people reside on upper floors. The ONLY place I can get a consistent signal is next to a wall of glass at the outside edge of the building. Of course, I work about 30-40 feet away from that wall, so I get virtually no signal all day. I know, I know, the building needs to install repeaters or passive antennas to bring the signal in. But I never had that problem with my Verizon phone in 2007-2008, except when I worked in the basement of a building.
