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.

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.

I hate this service! I get no bars on any of our phones in the house at all it drops calls left and right. My husband can go outside and talk ob his for a few mintues before he loses signal or the call ends (doent always say call dropped or lost, just hangs up ) They sent me a rave that I had to hook to my internet broadband so I get full bars in the house now but still quality of phone reception is still horrible. I still have problems with my phone (i like to talk more versues just texting) with receiving calls it goes straight to my voice mail, and if I leave my home forget it the bars are gone. I drop calls in town in jonesville, in walmart parking lot I have to try three times before I can get a call to connect. Customer service at this place has been a joke. I actually have filed a complaint with the BBB. I pay almost 200.00 a month and I have had enough, been told they are working on fixing the problem for months. I was just talking to another Sprint customer and wow guess what we are disconnected... with the rave at my house and her in jonesville in town..
