T-Mobile
Outdoors somehow sometimes acceptable. Indoors no reception. Complained several times to t-mobile, switched tower, etc. didn't help. Will have to switch carrier.

I used to have Verizon and always had at least four bars anywhere on the East Baltimore campus. I made the awful mistake of switching to Cingular at the recommendation of a friend, and have had numerous dropped calls and very poor reception all over Baltimore since then, but it's especially bad when I'm in the hospital. Also get very poor reception at the Hopkins Bayview campus. Am counting down the days till I make the switch back to Verizon.

No reception indoors. Limited reception outside (1-2 bars). Calls drop often. Phone rings only about 1 / 3 of the time when there are incoming calls -- voice mail notification will occur suddenly and mysteriously. Sprint advised to "turn the phone off and on every 24 hours". Doing so does not improve service.

Constantly dropping calls. Never ever have service in my house or on Fort Ave.

Nextel is a joke! You would think when they merged with Sprint that the coverage would get better but it got worse. I work in Columbia MD and live in Bel Air, MD and on my drive home there are atleast 5 areas of I-95 that I have no service at all and the rest of the time I usually have only 1 or 2 bars unless I am on top of a hill! I have not resigned my agreement because of this issue but after reading this website I am wondering which carrier would be better! What upset's me the most is that Nextel is one of the most expensive carriers and I would like to get get what I pay for... ... ..service!

I've never had a problem with Verizon anywhere in Baltimore. I don't think I've ever even had a dropped call!

We live in a neighborhood called the Orchards which is bounded by Northern Parkway, N. Charles, W. Lake, and Roland Ave. The coverage is terrible. Although we have Cingular, neighbors with other providers have the same issue. It may be a case of NIMBY run amok.

Nextel is the worst. It doesn't work at my home; it doesn't work at my office! I drop call regularly

cingular worked perfectly for 2 months, and now the service quality is just terrible: dropped calls, and someday not even a network access... does not come from my phone thoug, as it works in most other places.

Outdoors in Mt. Vernon I get okay reception, but indoors (even in my 1st floor apartment) I often get very weak reception. This is especially true in bars (The Stable and Brewars Art) with basements. I normally would not expect my cell phone to work in these locations, but I get zero reception while my friends with Verizon get full bars! I would switch to Verizon but from what I have read they "cripple" some of the better phones they offer so you can only interact with them through Verizon services (eg, you cannot transfer images from your PC to your phone because Verizon disables the feature in the phone). I'm disappointed, is there no service with good reception and halfway decent phones?
