The nearest tower is about 3 miles. Still do not get good reception!

have been happy Alltel customer since 2005, then about a month ago began getting "searching for network" and "roaming messages and no service. have called to report problem 5 times now and and am afraid I will have to change service if problem not resolved this week. strange to have such excellent service then no service1.

In my neighborhood, close in on North Monroe Street, reception is terrible. Lot's of broken up conversations. A land line is a must. There is an old TV tower on North Monroe, between Bradford Rd.and John Knox Road, and that may be the cause of the problem... .

Alltell does a fine job in and about Tallahassee.

I love Alltel. I have been with several carriers and they all suck compared to Alltel. My mother has been through several as well and seems to be always looking at her phone.. it's sprint... its always searching for service or roaming no matter where we go. I always have service. Of course there are a few small areas where reception sucks.. but what do you expect when you are driving through 100 miles of NOTHING. Nextel is the WORST! I have friends that NEVER answer their phones becuase.. guess what.. IT DOESNT RING! I would definitely recommend Alltel to anyone living in Flordia. My service has been awesome and the customer service is really good too. Just make sure you get it from an ACTUAL Alltel STORE and not an 'authorized dealer'. At the store they will replace it on the spot.. at the Auth Dealer you have some serious problems on your hands. Blue Skies...

No reception in house, one bar in yard. It used to be better but last few months has gotten worse. I don't think Alltel realy cares about service. I don't get good service any where in town.

honestly Alltel has great reception in Florida and the Southeast, there are dead spots but definitely less than my friends with other carriers have

1 bar in the yard usually none in the house. I have had we used to get much better service. Not sure what has happened, but it's no good now. Waiting for my contract to end so I can change providers.

I used to get excellent reception and service from Alltel -- No more. For the past year, it has become worse and worse. Good luck actually getting a call at my house.

Excellent reception throughout state of Florida.

Alltel is amazing. I had Sprint PCS when I first moved here 4 years ago and I can tell you to forget about using your phone on game day. With Alltel I can tell you that it is much better being able to get out most of the time on those Saturdays. On top of that my phone works in the library and in the mall two places that are hard to get out of.

3G coverage in Tallahassee has usually been pretty great. There's only one area in town I've been that sometimes drops calls, but even that has improved vastly. Both download and upload speeds were often in the 2-3Mbps until just recently; the last month or so the speed has plummeted, due to, as AT&T informed me, cell towers are coming down for upgrades around the city. It should improve greatly in the near future.

Dropped calls all the time. We are about to switch to Verizon anyway.

More like 2 or 3 bars. NEVER full reception. ATT told me a new tower will in opration the Dec 15 less than a mile away. Quasar RD (I think)

I've been using Cingular / AT&T for many years. The coverage has only gotten better. I've only experienced one dead zone in Tallahassee and that was off Apalachee Pkwy. in the Timber Ridge neighborhood. No service is available in that location, but move out onto Apalachee Pkwy. and reception comes back. Making trips out of town have been a joy with AT&T. Service is good as far west as I have been (Gulfport, MS) and as far east as I have gone. (Jacksonville / St. Augustine) Those who state they have had trouble with AT&T service, beware, they may just have an ax to grind. As far as I am concerned, service could not be better.

Two bars if the wind blows. Very disappointed with AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile and Alltel. This location is home to several thousand homes within a 2 mile radius, but the towers at so far away that this prime residential area lacks cellular coverage. If the major carriers but towers near the Catholic church, they would see more use of the service and put the local phone carrier out of business! But, it must be hip to be mediocre.

At TCC campus, Sprint and T-Mobile are a no-go. AT&T and Alltel are the only ones with strong service.

Only get 1 bar at home with ATT. No one can understand our conversations.

I have had great reception here with Cingluar (now AT&T) for many years. I get 5 bars all the way until about 2 miles from the Florida / Georgia border. It used to be that I had no reception at the Texaco just across the border, but now I get 2-3 bars and can make calls just fine. Inside my house Thomasville and Foxcroft Dr. I get 5 bars provided I am sitting at my desk near a window. At work, Thomasville and Metropolitan Blvd, I also get 5 bars. This is just south of I-10. Inside, 3-5 bars depending on where I am in the building and proximity to a window. People who are expecting 5 bars inside a building are just dreaming. The structures just block some of the signal.

Constantly having dropped calls and garbled reception. This is the heart of the state capitol.
