Can rarely make or receive calls inide of house. Constant roaming on Verizon tower and not allowed to make any outgoing calls on Verizon tower. Called Alltel and was told they have no plans to install any towers that would help the reception in this area. Also was told nearest tower was 2.7 miles which I should be getting excellent signal, but tower may not be facing this way and cannot be fixed. Another note my other phone Motorola v710 gets 1 or 2 bars better, but still drops cals constantly. I did notice a AT&T / Cingular tower in my immediate area, and woder why Alltell will not roam on this tower, too bad. Maybe I will try AT&T / Cingular and give Alltel the boot. Alltel if you read this and want my business, fix this problem ASAP.

Poor reception and like a previous comment, Alltel tells me the service is "excellent" when they entered my street address. I understand many carriers lease space on networks and these people are first to be bumped / dropped. FYI I previous tried Sprint and Cingular and they both had worse recpetion than Altel.

Use Alltel 6 months in Flrodia and 6 months in Wisconsin - perfect both places. A Note... .Was told that cell towers are mainly built along major roads - if you need good service - find a major road.

Have had Alltel since the GTE days. Have also had almost every other carrier through work and been all over SW Florida. No carrier is perfect but Alltel is by far the best overall. Works inside buildings and more importantly inside my home which allowed me to get rid of my home phone. What good is a phone you have to go outside to use, especially during rainy season down here? I find the commercials of some carriers funny who brag about there networks (Cingular, Verizon), as that definately does not apply in this area (especially Cingular). Would definately recommend Alltel as the best carrier in this area.

Does proximity to an airport affect service?

I have had Alltel for more years than I care to admit to. My first phone was the old bag phone. I have traveled all over Lee County in my job and used my Alltel phones. Never did I have trouble making a call or have a call dropped. Even on Sanibel, I could get good reception on my phone. Currently I have both a Motorala flip phone and a Kyocera phone. When ever we have traveled, the phones have worked flawless. I would recommend Alltel to anyone. I get full service inside my home on both phones.

Not one dropped call in past twelve months. Reception excellent.

one bar if you stand outside on one leg while pointing left index finger at the moon. Inside no calls can be made and are dropped if picked up.

No service in my apartment whatsoever! I use a cell phone as my primary phone and for business, I can't be going outside to my car to make calls any longer.

Turn Left or Right, side to side; take a step, and reception "Gone" like the wind! Have had ATT and AllTell with same results.

Lously coverage. Dropped calls and no reception inside the home.

GSM - Poor reception, low signal

Cingular service sucks in this area,,wont work inside your home at all. Who wants to go out side and talk in the rain. ?

Don't expect Cingular (TDMA) to be good on the main areas of campus. Once you get into the heart of the campus, and inside classrooms and the dorms, Cingular gets 1-2 bars at the most. Note: AT&T (TDMA) is starting to turn off its TDMA towers near campus, since Cingular tries to hold to a signal from their network longer than it use to.

Reception is good unless the tower goes out in a hurricane!

In this area my reception is great, I never drop calls or never have less that 2 bars. And I cant wait until MetroPCS brings 3G or EVDO or I think its 4G but either way my internets going to be faster.

Good coverage for calls, e-mail,and internet by Google Great Phone

Even though my reception is below average, the calls do come in perfect. The only time my calls dropped was when my battery had to be replaced after 10 months. Once the battery was replaced I was back in business. I do receive reception inside my house. I can make outgoing calls and all of my incoming calls are received. Just love it.

I couldn't talk on the phone inside the house AT ALL, I was forever losing signal. It was awful.

Reception inside of the office is terrible. Considering switching my entire fleet of phones if something isn't done soon.
