Verizon
It is so frustrating to have to go outside to make a phone call. Switched to Verizon when they were the only ones that worked on the metro. Sprint worked better in my home.

I barely get reception in the downstairs of my townhouse and not at all in the front room. The upstairs is better, but I frequently have calls dropped.

Sprint's coverage is horrible. I drop calls, data is slow, and I cant' hear anyone! This phone is going back and I am getting Verizon. I heard they are great here. Coming from AT&T, I will be VERY happy!

AT&T is lucky they had the iphone for so long. I am switching the first chance I can to either Sprint or Verizon. Never thought I would change, but 3G service is so unreliable that it has become a liability to have my phone due to dropped calls and no calls coming in. Terrible, do not get AT&T if you are looking for new service

I have Verizon. The only place I don't get reception is in the tunnels of the Metro (the stations are fine) and at some bigger stores, such as Target. I live in Fairfax County and work in NW DC. Too bad Verizon doesn't believe in selling cutting edge phones.

Reception is awful. Sometimes it works. Often I am bounced off the 3G network. Sometimes I show 5 bars and still have dropped calls, especially in high traffic times. Having dropped calls is the norm, not the exception. The mapping function on the iPhone - which runs through AT&T towers - shows me at the correct address 50% of the time, shows me a couple of miles away on Capitol Hill 30% of the time, and 20% of the time it "thinks" that I am at the District boundary on Southern Avenue, Southeast which is miles away!

I have used AT&T G-3 wireless network in out of the way places like Cheraw, SC with perfect coverage. It is ideal for the traveling business man or tourist.

I have a company blackberry on ATT and the call quality is deplorable and it continously drops calls ulike my personal Nokia with T-Mobile which provides exceptional call quality and coverage in DC. I have spoke to ATT on numerous occasions but they are unwilling to acknowledge there is an issue if I had the choice I would dump ATT and in a flash

The reception is terrible at my house! I want to know if its just my house or if it's the plan that I have.

I have a G1 (Android) and I get great service in my house and ok serivce at work South Dakota Ave NE. My web is also fast at both, but then again I also have a great phone. I had TMobile Flexpay for a year now and bill has been $104 - $106 EVERY month for 600min+myfaves+unl text / web+insurance (against loss!)+callertunes. I now have the option to have unl calls / text / web for $5 less but I don't want to lose myfaves (I never have overages). Sprint was my very first carrier, I hated their service most then customer service. Bills were ALWAYS a huge variation every month. Phone always OFF on $125 deposit. Phones were ok but I was always unhappy =( Then I had Boost. Service was even worse than Sprint which I thought was impossible. Get messages sometimes even a day later or not at all. Slowest web even. No 3G. No smartphones. No qwerty phones. Hated CHIRPING. Prices were great at $50 unl with no overages, phones were ok but always failed within months. (I got my white G1 in January and just replaced it from a loss but couldve sold it for $200 easy.) Then I had Virgin Mobile for a month since they had a fairly priced slider and $70 unlimited plan. Service was good. I HATED my phone and it was the best one they had to offer at the time. This was Dec 08 and they had that red and black slider. OMG I don't even remember what it was called. Web was only slightly faster than Boost but slower than Sprint. I dumped them in January 09 and have been HAPPY ever since!
