I have been with Alltel for 3 years and would not recommend them to ANYONE. As far as reception they are great but when I started having problems with my MOTO Q (which they had record was a bad phone) they refused for a year to replace the phone for me, after returning it several times and finding that there was nothing I'd done to damage the phone; the customer service people were very rude and very unhelpful. I had to contact a supervisor after being hung up on by a rep. and the supervisor accused me of lying about my phone. FINNALLY after a year of going around with this they said they would give me a new phone for free because of their error but when I got my next bill they charged me for the phone anyways and refused to take the charges away and shut my services off until I pay the bill in full. I just decided to go with another company.

I can honestly say that Alltel seems to have the best coverage, in and around Wichita, of any of the major carriers. I had Verizon for a long time(3 years) and my girlfriend had Alltel. After a few years of dating, we noticed that there were a number of occassions in which I would have to use her phone because mine (Verizon) didn't have coverage. South and West of Wichita in the more rural communites, Alltel wins hands-down. Inside of Wichita, it's about even. I'm actually using Sprint now because I have / love the Samsung Instinct but still rate the top three carriers, in order of best coverage, as Alltel, Verizon and Sprint.

I have had some down times out is this area. but for the most part Alltel is the one to go with in Western Kansas. Good Hunting for a wireless service that is any good. Seem to me that they all are raising there prices and getting less service from them. My two cents.

Horrible reception at Central and Hillside and at my home near 53rd St. North and Seneca. Complained for three days in a row at the North Rock Alltel and they called the police on thew third time. No action was taken by police but they said if I came back to complain that they would issue a no trespassing order. All I wanted to do was drop my contract after having the phone for only six weeks. They said it would cost me $400.00 to do it. Not concerened that I was not getting reception at home and at work. Horrible company.

I have been with Alltel for 7 years and have had enough. I'm leaving to try Sprint. The signal when I'm at home is "low" with Alltel and this results in dropped calls It is impossible to drive on the highway and have a conversation for more than 30 minutes as the call will drop when you go from one tower to the next or from one county to another. I cannot drive from wichita to newton and have a conversation with Alltel service. I cannot drive from wichita to hutchinson and have uninterrupted phone call. My phone began dropping calls on a daily basis a month ago. It quit working completely about 10 days ago but I cannot leave Alltel until my contract ends. I need my number with my new service but Alltel tells me they will charge me an early leaving fee of $200 X 3 if I change my number. I offered to simply continue paying my Alltel service and transfer my number to Sprint but Alltel says it cannot do that. I use the phone for business and can only call my voice mail every couple of hours to check messages. It is impossible for anyone to contact me directly even though I'm paying for Alltel phone service.

I have always had the best luck with Alltel. We have had our phones with Alltel since 1992 and they have only continued to improve whether that being customer service, phones, or towers. We went with Alltel because it was the only option for our location when we lived in Kingman. I moved to Wichita last August and have had phenominal coverage. Only have two calls dropped my entire time here. The only spot that I always really have trouble with is driving on Kellogg as soon as I get into Goddard at the main intersection. If I'm on a call there it is always certain to drop while switching between towers. Overall I find Alltel to be a Great Company and recommend it for anyone.

Alltel: When we commute over to wichita our signal is good to excellent. There's a few dead spots from tower to tower but in time they'ill be filled. Before Alltel came to wichita we roam- ed on Verizon's system and the signal was good to excellent.we have 2 v710's and they work ok but id like to upgrade to the e815 or razrv3c. Because of the newer software. End:. Have a safe an happy Memorial Day!...
