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.
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.
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.
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.
