TDMA reception in Greenbelt is shaky. A year ago, AT&T decided to start using a different type of tower that left my particular phone model in the gutter, so I had to buy a new one, which they did not assist me with financially even though it was their fault. After that, reception was reasonable for a while, but lately it has taken a complete nosedive. My phone has one bar of reception, is always in roam, can't make outgoing calls and the battery drains in a day (due to its inability to find a good signal). It sometimes receives text messages and sometimes is willing to send them.

Always get a call drop here when I'm driving along. The rest of SP is pretty well covered except for when you go inside houses but I dont think they could do anything about that since nobody wants a cell tower in their backyard.

No reception at all! A tower is needed!

with this phone and with Cingular as a carrier, I get no reception in my house. It will work very little in the neighborhood though. A lot of dropped calls, even up in waldorf, clinton,camp springs, etc. Should be no excuse for dropped calls in major urban areas and on major routes around dc. Very,Very frustating!

If you leave at any of the apartment buildings in Larchdale Rd you end up with one bar or no bar at all. The signal its really bad.

Non-existant reception...

No reception in these area at all, very bad area. don't even get voice messages eighter.

Never able to get any reception from ANY cell phone company at my house - I have tried almost all of them! Just ask nicely and they will lend you a phone to try. BUT Verizon works when I walk outside and maybe down to the road. All other companies I had to go at least a 1 / 4 mile and some a mile. So - Verizon is definitely the best company for me. Now as for their customer service, well that REALLY SUCKS.

There is no reception after you pass the State Police Barracks on Route 219. The signal is around 3-4 bars and then just drops service completely.

phone will always drop when approachin Lottsford Vista Rd off of Lottsford Rd.
