I had AT&T for more than 10 years, with almost non-existent reception at my house. After calling them to complain for years, and them promising it will get better soon, I switched to Sprint. No problem getting 5 bars with Sprint at my house.
cannot receive or place voice call. receive text messages but cannot place one. If you work in this area and NEED service I would look at another carrier!
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.
Can get 1 bar in 2 locations in my house. Drop calls about every 15 seconds for blocks around my house. I drop calls at 13th and Broadway (practically the center of town) and on Rock Rd.(hardly rural). I am so glad my contract with Sprint is up in 2 months.
T-Mobile reception is pretty good in Wichita. In some places, AT&T is better, but those are few and far between. Dropped calls don't happen. Data network is still 2G here, thus a little slow, but several models are WiFi-enabled. Also, many of those models are capable of placing calls / texts / etc. over the WiFi, so if you can't reach a tower, you're fine as long as you can reach the Internet. Probably the best or next to best carrier in Wichita. Watch for their free phones, though. Free phones are free for a reason.
Alltell Is crap! Over 2 years tons of droped calls Husband hollering at me cause I don't hear the phone ring, and it never did, in our home, missed calls the phone never rings. Got to step outside to get reception to make a call.
I had to walk outside my work place to the parking lot to get a signal; inside my connection was completely dead. I couldn't even check messages. All the while Verizon users and Alltell, T-Mobile users were inside with no problems. I am going to cancel my plan and pay the penalty.
