I have been with Alltel 3 years now. I tried Verizon, NO SERVICE at my house in Charlotte! Can you hear me now? NO! I also tried Cricket, bad! and Cingular was good, but there is very spotty service in rural areas and no service in northern New England where I frequently visit. Since switching to Alltel, I have had no problems. I have service everywhere I go. In and around Charlotte is very good. The only place I drop calls is on I-85 just north of Concord Mills. The signal is 2 to 3 bars at my house. I wish it was a litle bit better, but it's still good service compared to the other options in town.

This is at the Enclave Apartments so maybe that's the problem but even outside it sucks. Maybe I should move.

For the past 2 weeks my reception here and throughout Charlotte has deteriorated to the point that 1 in 4 calls are dropped. Spoke with others who have the same issue with Verizon.

Reception is generally very good outdoors and in smaller buildings in Charlotte. I usually get about 4 bars everywhere in the city. I have also noticed a significant increase of service inside buildings on campus over the past 2 months. 3G speeds run between 2 and 4 Mbps.

Love my new Sansung Sunburst, but will be returning it tonight. Looks great, takes a good picture, but no reception in my office and drops calls on campus and on the road back to Concord each day. My KRZR works great, so I am digging it out of the drawer and will continue to use it until I can find a GOOD replacement.

The only part of campus where I get any decent cell phone reception is in and around the Cone building to which I must walk when I need a strong connection. I am definitely switching to Verizon or Cingular

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.

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!

coverage stinks! Colony Rd near Sharon has one consistent dead zone. I drop calls at least 4X per day. Diod not have the same probs with Verizon... Makes me wanna trade in the IPhone for a Crackberry. When's Apple going to let us have more choices for our carriers!??

Cingular coverage in this city is ridiculously horrible. Dropped calls continously. Anyone moving to Charlotte should plan on changing cellular service or deal with the constant frustration.
