Moved to the area and rented a house in Aug '09. Did most, if not all, of my job search using my AT&T Tilt cellular phone. We're talking 10-15 calls a day for three months. Don't recall a dropped a call. Signal coming in 3G strong. Building a house in the same area now, and find cell reception there to be great as well.

Always had good coverage there. 3G speeds: Download - 2500kbps Upload - 240kbps

I live near David Cox Rd and had terrible coverage with Sprint in the previous 3 years that I have been with them but recently upgraded to the BB curve expecting better reception but not the case. So, I decided to call and complain to customer service about the terrible coverage I have been experiencing and threaten to cancel all five of my lines regardless of what the ETF were. As a resolution, Sprint sent me a Samsung Airave (at no charge only activation fee required) personal tower which covers up to 5000 sq feet in the home. Now I currently receive 5 full bars and fastest possible data connection for 1XEVDO. Still don't have the best coverage leaving the house but.5 mile down the road I get decent coverage. Hope this helps.

I have no problems at all.

I have perfect service but Vzw cost so much $$$ I think I need to switch... ugh! T-mobiles lookin kinda good right now

I have full coverage all over Charlotte. Never lose a signal. I had verizion previously and at best 1 would get 2 bars. T-Mobile is 1000 times better, and cheaper. Only disadvantage is no 3g right now but should be here before spring.

I have had Sprint for 6 years and have had no problems. The Signal is impeccable! I have had maybe 1 dropped call in the last 6yrs I have been with them!

Alltel has been my only cell carrier and I have had several phones with them Nokia, Motorola, and LG. All work well and I have roamed in NC, SC and Chicago with no problems. My one small complaint is sometimes voicemail messages arrive late or somehow I miss the notification but it doesn't happen often and it's not a big deal.

Metro PCS is great in the parking lot.

New tower nearby solved all reception problems in Wiltshire Manor neighborhood.

I have been using Alltel since my first phone (which was a bag phone, if you can remember that far back) and I have never had a problem, in town or out of town. I now have the Motorola razr and good service continues. Other family and friends have had other services and had all kinds of problems, switched to Alltel and everythig is fine. Everyone keeps using my phone because their service is so crappy.

Couldn't be happier - Verizon service and reception is great (and I swear, I do not work there!) Never lost a call in Charlotte / and love their online features where I can examine my monthly cell phone bill a bunch of different ways (sort by longest call / most expensive call / etc). It will even suggest another plan if it could save me money based on my usage patterns... Excellent all around.

Only areas with trouble are in 200 and 300 blocks of Hempstead Place, where there is virtually no coverage, and in Foxcroft Rd.area of Foxcroft. Otherwise, nearly always 5 bars. Also great everywhere in NC except mountains, where it is a brick.

Great reception BUT Do not use this cell phone company unless you are residing in Eastern NC! I just moved and am facing staggering bills upwards of $400 when I only used to pay $65 a month due to the use of "other cell towers, which cause a huge fee to US Cellular." Then I was told I breached my contract by moving away from Eastern NC. I am looking for a carrier here but looks like no one is happy. Does anyone have any good reccomendations???

Recently shopped with a friend at the new shopping center, Rivergate. We were in Target. I had full bars and great call quality with my Alltel phone. She had 1 bar on her Verizon phone. She could not hold a call to her husband. Eventually she had to use my Alltel phone to call him back. America's most reliable network, my a*s. Alltel has ben wonderful all around Chalotte and when I travel. They are much more inexpensive then Verizon and apparently "more reliable."

alltel is awesome... i have used Cingular and Verizon and Cingular was horrible in charlotte and indian trail, nc. Verizon was good... but Alltel is the best thing ever.

I can use mine in the elevator... never had a dropped call in this area!

EXCELLENT Reception in this area:)

ALLWAYS get perfect reception in this area, BUT my building and parking deck gets Poor reception (D'oh) and I get dropped calls and fluxuating on / off service... wish I could work outside... lol

Just moved near UNC Charlotte's campus and coming from Cameron, NC where there was hardly anything there, Alltel still prevailed and had fantastic service there. Here in Charlotte the service is just the same, crystal clear calls along with the EVDO technology offered here in Charlotte. This service is great, and I recommend Alltel to anyone who is looking for a dedicated, realiable celluar phone service. Pass the word around this company is truly about "loving" their customers. This is not surprising to be roaming on the Alltel network and still have excellent coverage. From Florida to New York to Texas Alltel has always provided me service that has never let me down. Consider switching to Alltel.
