No reception from either Sprint or Nextel (back when they were separate carriers). The Fallasburg area is within a bowl so basically as soon as you enter the park, you're out of luck. Visitors with phones from Verizon and AT&T have experienced the same thing.

It seems as though every time I drive through the 45-mph zone on Grand River just off Alden Nash, I get no reception. I can't call out and more importanly, I can't receive calls - if someone calls me while in that area, it goes straight to voice mail. Once I'm past the 45-mph zone, the phone beeps to let me know I have a message. Why does this occur? Everyplace else I get great reception!

I live on the island / Murray Lake and my reception stops around St. Pats church. At the Murray Lake and Murray view intersection, I get reception and can talk on 2 bars there... .but if I breathe wrong it goes away. Once I am on the island... no reception whatsoever. It is very frustrating to not be able to use my phone in my home... which it sounds like I am not alone. I swear, every other person I know can use a cell at my house but me. Now that is not funny! Trouble is... I like the Alltel plan I have, so I am not willing to change it at this point (regardless if I have another year and a half contract!) I hope that we can all find what we are looking for someday!

Fallasburg Park Rd, north of Lowell off Lincoln Lake Rd.; once in the park, signal drops to nothing (no analog, either). Go east on McPherson into Ionia County, and reception comes back. Just past Montcalm Ave, signal at my home is good most days, but I get terrible reception once inside my home. Haven't tried installing an antenna on the house yet (this old phone still rocks, has an antenna port!). Wife's Verizon phone (old Qualcomm) gets two bars at best here, I go from two to four at home. Very easy to drop calls here. Looking to upgrade to Verizon with better phones soon. ;)
