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!...

can not get recption at lake afton or any one at boeing

This could be a problem with my phone, but I cannot get a signal in the twin lakes area

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 great difficulty sending texts from my office downtown, especially picture messages. My phone only works half the time (if that) for calls from my desk. I live 4 miles east of downtown in Crown Heights, and I can hardly ever talk on the phone from my bedroom. One of the most frustrating things is that my phone says I have 5 bars, but text messages still won't send and calls still won't go through. This spring my friends and I went to the rodeo in Stafford, KS. AT&T's service completely gave up halfway there, but my friends with Verizon still had full coverage in Stafford.

never had a problem with AT&T have full bars and 3g all over wichita and full bars and edge when I went to idaho haven't had a problem with them at all if living in wichita don't go with T-Mobile or Sprint I used to have T-Mobile very bad service here same with Sprint can't make calls inside buildings Verizon and AT&T are the heavy hitters here in wichita

One to zero bars in the neighborhoods directly northwest of 13th N and St. Paul to 19th N and West St.

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

I never have reception around this location

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.

I have found that the Cingular coverage is bettter than Sprint but I am still having problems with connections inside my house We also have a Nokia phone, Cingular service, and I have been pleased with it so far, we are thinking of getting the new Nokia flip phone since our 2 yr old dropped the Motorola in the aquarium. good thing, it sucked anyway.

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 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,

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.

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

poor reception, internet PCS rarely works, or kicks offline often.. very disapointing for the money spent.

this phone has a tampa florida number. I get perfect reception in wichita with the 6010. great customer service. however, while still living in tampa, I was offered a "free upgrade" if I extended my contract. I fell for it, and was given a Siemens phone that dropped nearly every call, rarely accepted calls, and with features such as alarm that did not work. t-mobile was unwilling to take the phone back and cancel the new contract. i switched back to the Nokia and service has been perfect ever since.
