Hardly any service at all. dropped calls, text messages won't go through. but unfortunately, it works in Montgomery county where my parents live. And for the record, I don't know any cell service that is perfect in the Mount Gilead Montgomery County area ESPECIALLY from 109 to denton area.

Went 3G almost a month ago, and *wow*, it is night and day. So far no missed calls, constant 4 bars of signal, even indoors, and call quality is better, and most of all, blazing fast data speeds. It even works great in the middle of the courthouse downtown, which used to be a major dead zone. Was EDGE for the longest time, with constant missed calls (phone would not even ring or register a missed call), slow data speeds, and constant timeouts. Would only get two or three bars of signal, and would frequently have no signal at all inside my home.

Good reception at home and in area surrounding - mid-way from Concord to Mt. Pleasant. Some spotty areas on Irish Potato (near landfill - big dip in road). Can't get good signal in Lowe's Kannapolis - probably due to metal roof and high shelving

around winecoft school rd and winecoft elementary school, barely one bar, T-Mobile signal fluctuates around concord, around 85 corridor great, in the burbs, not so great. its not just the phone, I also had a blackberry curve 8320 and switched because of bad signal, now with the Samsung behold 1 EVEN WORSE..in my apartment, signal is zero ( SOS)..$150 a month for what? I guess ill go ahead and order landline service. urgh

The service is awful. Actually, I'm not sure why I have a phone at all. I have no service at home except on rare occasion when I get 1 maybe 2 bars AND I have no reception at work, zip code 28262, Mallard Creek area.

Four towers withing sight of my house if the tress were gone... still very poor reception.

If you look at the AT&T coverage map I should have some coverage. However, I go from 2 bars to "no signal" as soon as I try to use it. Coverage is abysmal at best. I have called and was told there are towers all around me that are 3G so don't expect better signal... .ever. I hope Verizon gets the iPhone next year.

very poor reception at my home. Alltel rep said they are working on it for the last 2 years. will change service when contract is up

no reception at my home Alltel rep said we are working on been 2 years

I've had Alltel for a number of years and I can't remember the last time I've had spotty reception anywhere in Concord or Charlotte. It's simply not something I ever even think about.

Had GREAT coverage until Cingular merged with AT&T. Now, I drop at least one call a day and often with good signals. My phone also wil not hang up when the call has been dropped until the other person hangs up (it "freezes"). May be my old phone, but still erks me. Customer service is pretty good though, they helped me with a high bill once.

Extreemly good reception throughout the Concord area, and the entire state. I use my mobile as my primary phone, and have no dedicated land line

I've actually not had any major trouble with my Sprint service near downtown Concord. I can use it in my two-story house perfectly. There have been two or three times in the year I've been there where a call will come in static-like, but I only have to call the person back and everything is fine. The only times I get a poor signal is when I get off an elevator or in Wal-Mart (Target is fine with reception). In the mountains, I get poor service, but c'mon, I'm out in the middle of nowhere...

Switched from Alltel to Verizon and we are going back to Alltel. Verizon was horrible for dropping calls. It was impossible to carry on a conversation with anyone on Concord-Salisbury Rd.and in Mt. Holly where my husband works.

Verizon receciption from Mt. Pleasant to Irish Potato is terrible, poor to no reception My phone is not usable and Verizon doesn't seem to be making any improvements. I think I will switch to Alltel when my contract it up.

In the past week the Alltel service in my area is lousy. I can't make a call or receive a call without the call being dropped. What happened in the past week to cause this?

spotty reception along Branchview Dr. from NC 73 until Burrage Rd. Overpass

As soon as I turn into my development, my signal goes to nothing or 1 at the most. Most of the time my phone will not even work in my house. Missed many calls. Outside my house is like broken english. Gotta do something!

Don't even sign up for Cricket service if you need it in or around the Harrisburg area! Other than Harrisburg, no problems! Just don't be even a couple of days late on your bill!

Cingular is a joke. No matter what phone I purchase I get the same thing over and over. No reception, dropped calls, static from lack of towers. I have sunk plenty of $$$ into Cingular and I get absolutely nothing back. Im glad my contracts over. Im out for good. Did I mention the poor customer service. When I ask for help alls they want to do is offer me a better phone so they can get commision on a renewal contract.
