Never had any problem with our cell phones until April. But since then, we have no reception in our condo. Have repeatedly called Alltel but no one can answer what has happened and why. Will have to switch cell phone providers. So very frustrating!

Horrible reception in this area. On Appalachian State University campus, maybe 2 bars with slow data, usually no signal at all in buildings. Signal goes out from 105 Extension, no signal at all at New Market Center or Mack Brown GM Dealership. Weak signal at 28692 Vilas. Do not expect to get signal at all on mountains... .

We have Sprint service and we even have 3g where we're staying on Sugar Mtn and at the grocery store down the road. I'm assuming that's because Sprint and Verizon trade towers, so it's probably more Verizon than anything! :)

Pulled into Holland Realty parking across the street from the base of Ski Beech and was able to text, talk and check my email.

Absolutely Zero reception at my home on the gravel part of BMP, but a block or two down Wintergreen and I get spotty reception.

We use our vacation home all summer in Seven Devils and cannot use any T-Mobile phones. The whole family has T-Mobile service and it is useless on the mountain. Please get some service there. We have lots of friends who visit the area from Miami and we need to keep in touch. Our phones work well in Miami but not in the Western Mountains of Nc.

I'm on UK T mobile with a good signal, but T mobile UK have no roaming agreement with Verizon. So Verizon blank your phone till you get out of range..?

I cannot get any reception whatsoever on Beech Mountain, and it's hit or miss in Banner Elk. It's not until I get nearly to Boone that it finally kicks in and actually works. If I were in the area more often, I would definitely switch from Cingular!

Great cell phone reception outside, but inside of buildings, it is very patchy.
