Switch from AT&T due to lack of native service and roaming. Verizon (now owns alltel) has great service all over the state. 3G data everywhere I go.

i've been with t mobile for 6 yrs since I moved here from cali and t mobile is awesome! I have great reception and I only pay 80 bucks a month and I have unlimited everything! ( the loyalty plan) I used to have Sprint but they were too expensive and there phones would drop calls after your on the phone for over 10 mins the damn thing would heat up and turn off...

I have had AT&T (Cingular) for 4 years now. The reception is EXCELLENT everywhere in Wichita (and I mean everywhere.) I also had great luck around surroundings (all the way to Oklahoma.) I am very happy with my cell service. I used it all over North America (US, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rica) with NO problems at all and with NO roaming at all. I also used my phone with great service in the following countries with EXCELLENT coverage: South America: Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Domican Republic, Bolivia, Colombia. Europe: Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Findland, Norway, Italy, Greece, UK, Scotland, Ireland, France, Belgium, Denmark, Russia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Iceland. Middle East: Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Egypt, Sauid Arabia, Morocco, Turkey. APAC: Singapore, India, Malaysia, Japan, China. South Korea was the ONLY place I had major reception problem. Ciao,

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.

no problem here; works great, as does my wireless net access.

I have been using T-Mobile for about 7 years now. I've always had great reception and no dropped calls while in the city. I don't travel outside of town too much, but the few times I have, as long as I had some reception, I could maintain a connection.

I've been with Verizon about six years and have good coverage most everywhere I go in the country

Perfect service here. Calls, messaging and web. No complaints. Never fewer than 4 bars.

Never used anything but verizon. 0 dropped calls from Wichita to Colorado Springs. My only complaint is rural areas with analog networks don't permit texting, but I've yet to find a dead zone as far as calls are concerned.

Nearly perfect operation.
