I get great reception everywhere in town with Alltel except at my apt complex, birchwood park. It might be the radio station nearby, I dont know. but its pretty terrible here at my apt from the moment I pull into the parking lot.

I recently switched from Suncom to Alltel because I coudn't get any reception in my house. Friends with Cingular and Verizon coudn't get service there either. With Alltel my reception is great!

Alltel is definetly the way to go. I've been with them for 4 years and my family has quite an assortment (wife sprint, kids SunCom) and my phone is the only one usuable on the side of the Appalachins facing Tennessee in the real boonies. Im proud to say Ive only had one dropped call... and for 50 dollars / month, there's 1500 day minutes, N&W at 7, and no roaming in a 2 state area. Alltel is the way to go

I have been in contact with Alltel multiple times in regards to poor service and dropped calls. Their solution was 3 new phones and now a fourth. I will defenitely be switching when my contract is up. The poor service is prominent in rural areas and even in the city of Wilmington.

Wilmington is definetly an Alltel town. Even in my school building where AT&T, US Cell., Nextel, and Sprint seem to lose all signal right at the door, Alltel usually gives me 3-4 bars out of 5. Elsewhere around town, never less than 3 bars, even in my house (5.) Ive been to a few places in NC (Clayton, Apex) where the Digital signal was either low or non-existent, but using the analog-only option, I was able to make and recieve calls normally. NC is Alltel territory, I reccomend it highly.

Signal here goes from 5 bars to zero in a matter of seconds or practically every time that you dial. Recently the service around the remainder of the town is also extremely bad. I know that AT&T have been changing their patterns in this area over the last 12 months. They really need to publish a more accurate and true map of their coverage.

I had T -Mobile but got released because their service was terrible,ie. dropped calls,couldn't receive or send calls from within my stick built house.I now have AT&T service and its also terrible.Only had this service 2 weeks.In house I get dropped calls,zero bars.Have to go outside on porch to get 1 bar.They will not admit service is terrible,they say lack of towers and others in area being worked on.Will not provide booster antennia to me free of charge.They tell me a booster will cost me $149.00.I asked for a free booster antennia and they said no.I said I pay them $120.00 a month for this service that doesn't work.I asked them will they provide a credit when my service doesn't work.They said no.The only thing they keep on telling me is that I have 30 days to get out of the contract.If I go beyond 30 days they say that I will have accepted this service as is.They also told me that AT&T does not garantee cell phones to work inside building.I have had cell phones services for about 15 years and they used to always work inside my home.My wife and I decided today to cancel our contract with AT&T and just rely on our house phone like we used to do.

Very poor reception in and out of my home. I've talked to AT&T but only got the response that they are striving to place more towers "sometime" this year. I can't even get them to give me a microcell to keep my service. Gues that means I'll jump ship when wife's contract is up.

terrible service, get failed or dropped class constantly, while driving on Military Cutoff, have no service. Forget talking in the house, pay a lot of money for no service.
