I get 4 / 5 bars within 30 miles of town. I drive to Fargo, ND regularly and I only loose service for about 15 miles between winnifred and jordan. Most alltell customers I know get charged lots of roaming because they are on vzw towers in town. I only have 3 people out of 150 of my phone contacts that are alltell.

newer all digital phones work much better than dual band phones.

Despite repeated promises by Cingular Last year when I got to Montana there was little to no coverage. Specifically Hwy. 191 is a complete dead zone, I had spotty coverage at best when in Lewistown and as sooon as we left town it was dead. This included all the area between Winifred and Hwy. 191 as far as the Missouri river. I had no problems 2 years ago with a Panasonic Duramax, all I needed was to be on a higher spot. CDMA SUCKS! Everyone I talked to is still using bag phones or Boosters to get the output power but I can't activate a bag phone one on Cingular in my home area. This is only one example of a long line of misrepresentation of their services / capabilities and more. Which they hide behind the confusion of the Merger with ATT wireless. To make it worse I'm dealing with the Premier service dept (Corporate plan)
