I had a Sprint phone, and recently switched to Alltel after moving to Lakeshore Dr. It works great out there where my Sprint wouldn't pick up a signal. I can even use it in my basement. :-) Plus my plan's a little cheaper, so it was a good switch all the way around.

Reception is very mixed. I was able to get a great signal at the US-31 / M-104 intersection and a decent signal downtown. The signal at the Meijer on US-31 and at the state park was nonexistant, however. You could only call by roaming off Verizon.

Att just recently upgraded towers to 3G in Grand Haven, Full bars and amazingly fast speeds with my iphone now.

I travel all over West Michigan and have only experienced terrible reception in my office at home. Switching from Nextel to AT&T has been the best change I ever made in cell networks. The signal strength I get going into the malls and deep into the stores, or office buildings is unbeatable. The only reason for good rating are the little areas on Lake Michigan Drive that are dead and the area right over my house. Funny, I walk to my driveway and get excellent recption?? Regardless, I wouldn't trade it for world, we'll maybe at least a new beemer!

Sprint seems to have great reception in Grand Haven. Inside my apartment I still get 4 bars. I also have had no problems down by the beach.

I get 0 bars any where close to the beach and my signal is even sketchy just in town. Sprint is a NO-Go in Grand Haven.

I received absolutely no native Sprint signal in and around the Grand Haven State Park.

Robinson township is pretty much a dead zone for every cell phone company. I have tried a lot of diffrent phones, companies, and have had a lot of people with diffrent phones and companies out here. Verizon does have the best reception IF its a motorla phone (its only a couple bars). I do get a lot of dropped calls but its better than no signal. I hold calls if I use my blue tooth. I do have service with this phone in a lot of places other people don't. Hopefully the new tower going in grand haven township will help. Wish Robinson township would allow towers to go in. According to 2 diffrent cell phone companies Robinson township won't allow towers to go up.

I always drop calls in my house, standing outside is a little better, I have to go down the road towards the lake before I get better service.

It is pretty sad when we can't get reception at your own house. I have been told a couple of times by Verizon that they want to put up a tower that would help the residents of Robinson Township but we haven't seen it yet. If we are lucky we get one bar, so when our calls do go through we have to make the conversation short before the connection gets dropped... .and it will!
