Usually have 4 or 5 bars in this area but also get a fair amount of dropped calls.

Constantly dropped calls, lots of dead spots in my home. Alltel claims I have 3 towers in the vicinity and doesn't understand why I have dropped calls. Hard to do business on a cell this way.

Not many carriers can get reception out here. We've never had much trouble at all with alltel.

Alltel is actually the best service as well with t-mobile. the coverage and the rate plans are the best. Cingular sucks... ... fewest dropped calls... ..o wait is that false advertisement or hmmmm... ... im actually a dealer so I know these things. I used 2000 minutes and I some how dropped 3 calls. Alltel and T-Mobile I would have to give a excellent mark for service. Verizon is a good service but they dont have the my circle and Alltel actually has better service then them.

Odd, this Alltel. I just switched from Sprint (don't ask me why - just kick me!) and have found that SOMETIMES I have coverage in my neighborhood (Desert Hills) with Alltel and sometimes not! This past weekend I couldn't make a call at all. Today (Monday) no problems! I am (as are many of you) caught up in a new 2 yr, so yep - no recourse except to say "thanks for the s_x lady" and move on - no longer term potential here! LOL Seriously, does anyone in my area (Desert Hills) get good service on Alltel while at home? If so, perhaps it is my phone. Post here if you can. Thanks!

I Live in an area called Dove Canyon, I get great reception at my home from my Alltel service. My wife and daughter get little or no service at my home with their providers, Sprint and Cingular. T-Mobile does not come in at my home either.

The reception here is horrible in the South Mountain area. I am forever dropping calls. I was told Alltel was going to put a tower at 24th and Baseline but so far nothing.

My alltell phone works great through out the house. My wife's Verizon only works outside.

I've been with Cellular One / alltel for almost 8 years. I have occasional dropped calls in buildings or when going between mountians but it's LOTS better than my husband's AT&T / Cingular GSM. I've traveled within AZ to Cottonwood, Cornville, Sedona with average to good reception almost everywhere. I also traveled to MN this summer and had good reception in almost all the areas in South Twin Cities metro area as well as Rochester. I look around but I don't think that I can beat what I've got.

all over Phoenix - excellent

I live in an apt, so maybe that's the reason I always drop calls. Good reception outdoors, very bad indoors. However, my girlfriend has Cricket, when she uses her phone in my place she has no problems. I'm thinking of switching carriers.

Perfect 5 bars or service! Alltel is great!

Had Alltel for years and never had any major problems. Once ever couple months it won't connect a call right away but rarely drops calls and I am all over the valley. Customer service has always been helpful. When out of town in SoCal, Vegas, or on the road, pretty much 100% coverage. I'm shopping around carriers right now (why I'm on here) but I keep saying to myself "why am I considering leaving when I have no problems?". It seems everyone has good and bad with all the carriers but in my case, if it's not broke, don't fix it.

Poor reception on 2 seperate V60i phones at my home on 9th street between Thunderbird and Greenway

Reception with Alltel is great. My husband as AT&T / Cingular, and rarely gets reception when I have full reception (he's tried 3 different phones with AT&T). Whenever we travel, I will have great reception, and he will have NOTHING, nada, no bars at all. Sometimes I will not get reception inside the house, but it's the same for absolutely everyone who enters the house.

12 th floor SW corner of building.

Switched to AT&T 2 years ago for all the wrong reasons and have suffered every since. I would estimate drop calls to happen 50% of the time, 20% of the time calls go dead for about 20-30 seconds, another category is my phone doesn't ring 30% of the time and I just get a chime when I'm notified someone has left a voice mail. I've encountered bad spots with AT&T all over Ahwatukee especially main areas like Ray and 48th St. Trust me, stay away from AT&T, 2 soup cans and a piece of string will get you further. I'm going back to Verizon where I've never had a problem in the past once the IPhone 5 comes out very soon.

I've had ATT for 6 years, in the last 2 years reception has been very poor. I average 3-5 dropped calls a week. Very embarrassing when I am on the phone with a client. I've called ATT many times about the issue, I've had 2 dropped calls while on the phone with support! They said everything is fine, and that it was my device. This is the second Iphone I've purchased both new, and my wife also upgraded her Iphone and both have poor reception. I use their "Mark the spot" app every time I have dropped calls, slow network, no network, calls failed. And support said they don't have access to that information, so they can't see where my calls are being dropped at. This is after almost 40 minutes on the phone and 3 different support reps, having been dropped twice in the process. Sometimes the 3G will not work while making a call, I work and live in Phoenix Metro.

No dropped calls for me either.

I didn't get a good reception with Cingular when they were merging with AT&T. As soon as I switched it to AT&T, I got clear receptions to make calls anywhere in the house.
