I've had Alltel for about a year and it is NOT a good service provider. My calls are always dropped and I rarely get any signal at all. It's always Analog and hardly ever Digital signals.

Very good reception in Freeland, Midland, and Saginaw, Im sure it works in Bay City too but I havent been out there yet. Had 5 bars along I-75 the whole time on my way to Au Gres. Doesnt work well inside Delta but as soon as I get near a window I get about 2 bars and as soon as I walk outside it shoots up to 5 bars. In my basement I get 2 to 3 bars which is good enough to make a call. I would recommend Cingular to anyone in this area. I get 4 or 5 bars most everywhere in this area. I work in a Shields near Gratiot and Miller and always get 5 bars there.
