Sprint's entire network out here is EVDO, and they keep adding towers. Jonesville, Jackson, Hillsdale, etc all have EVDO Rev A service for mobile broadband. Finally get 2-4 bars at home, but even with 1 bar, calls are crystal clear. I'm very impressed with their service now. Be sure not to get a tri-mode phone, as analog will be sure to ruin your experience with Sprint. Seeing about 1mbit download and 800kbit upload with their mobile broadband. Most people I call are Sprint customers and count as mobile-to-mobile calls, so I don't use a plan with tons of minutes. Decent prices, good coverage, but very poor customer service.

Ok, so I'm in the market for my second phone plan and I'm deciding between sticking with Alltel or switching to T-Mobile or Cingular. I get about average reception in my house with an occassional dropped call. In other places in Jonesville I've never had a problem; Hillsdale seems to be fine also. North Adams is very sketchy, 2 bars at the best. I go to school in Ann Arbor and I get good reception up there too. The only place I've ever had trouble is on the outskirts of Jonesville on my way to Jackson. I don't get much of any reception around Pulaski and Spring Arbor / Concord is sketchy. I'm pretty sure that Alltel roams off of Verizon in Ann Arbor, so pay attention to those reviews. Overall, I'd say I don't have any real complaints with Alltel. Guess I might as well stick with what I've had... I think.
