Great service everywhere I've went in southern illinois. Even. Have good enough service to watch netflix on my phone in my appt which has pretty thick walls and an entire floor above me. I highly recomend Alltel for anywhere in southern illinois.

SIU and All Over Carbondale, Carbondale, IL 62901 Thu Mar 01, 2007

I've been with Alltel for a couple years since they were First Cellular here and I found this site before just getting a new Razr to see how other providers were doing in the area. But for those of you not in the area, Alltel now and First Cellular before has always had by far the best coverage in this area. I'm from here in Carbondale but I always make friends that come here from other places and have trouble with other providers, especially T-Mobile and Cingular as mentioned in other reviews. But the Alltel signal is perfect all over campus. As you get away from campus it also does very well all over Carbondale. I have no problems near the mall or on out by the super Wal-Mart. Frankly, it just works all over the place. I don't have any problems where any of my family members live and that's just about all over the city here including way up several turns off of N Illinois Ave on the other end of the city as campus. But all in all, Alltel seems to have some good plans, I just upgraded to a My Circle plan, but most importantly the coverage is great here and what good are minutes if you can't use them?

Reception was fine when I arrived Saturday. No problem this morning either (Wednesday, March 28, 2012). But this afternoon, NO SIGNAL at SIU university. I'm now across town and there is NO SIGNAL here either at 7:09 pm. Bill

It is hard to place an outgoing call. and sending and receiving texts also isn't that great.

great coverage within Carbondale, 5 bars at nearly all locations accept thick walled buildings.

Absolutely no reception in Carbondale for Cingular phones. If you plan on attending school here, do not sign a contract with Cingular. They will tell you that there is reception here, but I have NONE!

Meh, its ok. Get some static here and there, but its overall ok. Bad penetration via thick walls though, but nonetheless, it works.

HORRIBLE reception, constantly dropped calls and missed calls, receives text messages hours later than sent, wont open picture messages, no internet browser service I always get "NO SERVICE" notification. I have a 3G phone and I get maybe 1 bar. Future SIU students change before you get there
