When I first bought Verizon I had trouble at home with reception. When I called to complain about the dropped calls, they were very responsive, giving credits and even sending an engineer to my house to measure signal and see if there was anything they could do. They provided a new phone, which helped. Within a year they built a new tower near southwood which fixed the problem completely. I travel all over the country and have found the coverage and reception excellent.

Lived her for 6 months and never have had a bar on my phone. I have to move around to get the best reception and ask the person on the other end "Can you hear me now"?

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.

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

Excellent reception throughout state of Florida.

The reception in my apt is so so. I get 3-5 bars inside and the calls are dropped occasionally. I usually manually switch to "Cingular" indoors and the service is fabulous. Outdoors, everything is fine. Service in Tallahassee is decent, provided you don't stray too far away from the city. I went to St. Marks and Crawfordville with the ATT phone and service was also iffy there. If you like venturing into the nearby towns, get Alltel (or Verizon)

Reception in Tampa was amazing. Just moved to Tallahassee and am very disappointed. Reception is great near the FSU campus, but over east of Governors Square and on the new Blairstone extension, reception is horrible and frequently drops alltogether. T-Mobile has provided nothing less than perfect customer service but unfortunately these lapses in service are unacceptable within the city limits.

Perfect on High ground, and good in buildings and lower areas. I think there are some towers attached to the taller FSU buildings.

No more Alltel, no more talking in my house. Ever since Verizon took over I have to go outside to make or receive calls. Before Verizon, I could talk anywhere in my house, even the basement. I've also uploaded the new roaming list with no effect. wtf?

NO bars outside. Also no bars when going down Capital Circle toward Tennessee st.

OUTSTANDING reception not only at the location specified, but everywhere on the west side of town. Excellent reception on FSU and FAMU campuses too. I don't go to the east side much, but I have great reception when I go there too.

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... .

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...

Can't even recieve missed calls in the my house. Have to go outside and wave my phone around to get a couple bars to check my voicemail. Also, sometimes I can't check my voicemail because my phone sometimes says Cingular. Very frustrating!

dropped calls at: N.Monroe and Tennessee St. Thomasville Rd.at Kerry Forest CapCirNW at Fred George calls are dropped ALWAYS. plus, phone goes from no bars to 5 bars instantly. I travel the city continuosly, and get dropped calls all over, especially in the areas listed above. Have been with Nextel for 6 years. The cell service has sucked horribly for the past 18 months. I am looking forward, eagerly, to a new cell service provider.

Drops call regularly - Sprint acknowledges that the cause is an Osprey nest, but still charges an early termination fee, even though you can not make or receive calls on a reliable regular basis

Almost always have 4 / 5 bars indoors and have not experienced dropped calls. Static / garbled audio on calls only during intense lightning storms. LOVE it.

Usually 5 bars around my area. Love it.

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.

Low signal at home and frequent dropped calls, especially when calling Verizon to Verizon.
