Alltel is my provider and to me there service is good to excellent.you can go to just about anyware in the state without roming.And my last phone a v710 did excellent its year of service.And like the fact they replaced it with the e815 the only drawback with the e815 is on axcess apps.the weather apps are not there.But could be add ed soon I got the the RAZR its cool... . And mycast 5. weather is the best! If you use your phone to watch the weather.!
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!...
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.
Although the reception is quite good in most of Wichita, my phone goes into digital roaming much of the time. Lately, when people call me, the phone doesn't even ring. I moved to Wichita about 6 months ago, and the problems just keep getting worse. Ever since Sprint merged with Nextel things have been going down hill. I just ordered a phone through Cingular and will give it a try. After reading reviews on here, I am fairly convinced it could be even worse than Sprint, and I will be sending the phone back within the 30-day trial. Perhaps the best solution is to move back to Minnesota or Iowa...
I have been with Cingular for 8 years and the best coverage and the best service about 4 years ago before they switched to the T-Mobile towers. they said that it would make the phones better yea right the towers they are on now is about six patches on top of an old system from 1999 that was the last time any new equipment was installed. I want to switch carriers but it is $150 to buy out or wait another year to get out of it. if you are thinking of going with Cingular don't. oh and this more bars in more areas if someone finds this let me know because I noticed less bars in more areas.
