they have the best coverage. even AT&T and Sprint they one have NO BARS down here but Alltel now Verizon wireless is the best network inthe world and I say every body needs to swith over to the new Verizon wireless. AND stop going for AT&T. when this network launchs this will be one of the greats things every.

Alltel provides a usable to strong signal in 99% of everywhere I go locally and when I travel around the country. Other than a dead spot on Hwy. 52 in a valley near Pilot Mountain and on Hwy. 321 from Boone to Johnson City, that is. (Not to say they don't drop calls at times even with signal, but it's rare.) Plus, their $5.95 per month data / WAP access fee is only a fraction of what the others charge. HOWEVER - starting in January of this year they suddenly moved from having amazing customer service to terrible service. A huge downward spiral into AT&T level incompetence. IF there were another carrier with great signal and cheap data rates, I'd now change in a heartbeat.

Alltel seems to have the best coverage by a couple bars in Forsyth where I work which is one big reason why I switched over. But really all over the area here the coverage is great. At WF and the other campuses here there appears to be towers very near because I'm always on full signal there. Also appears to do better than previous AT&T phone in mall and other locations here. It just seems like the signal doesn't drop off near as much as others indoors. Overall, I'm really happy with coverage. Plans are good too in my comparison. Alltel seems to offer more minutes than other for the price and My Circle, unlimited calling to any 10 numbers was a very good bonus compared to what other providers offered.

Reception is fine; but I'm pretty sure I'm paying more for Alltel than I need to be - thus I'm on the lookout for a new carrier.

at&t do not have a tower in the area but they do have two towers about 6 miles up the road. the good thing about AT&T the long you are form a tower the better the coverage.

i have AT&T and when am at home I now have to bars.and when I am on the phone the call comes in and out. but I have a Alltel tower near my house so am going to good with Alltel because they have the best coverage area in north carolina.but AT&T when they say roaming is free yes it is but I do not want my phone to be roaming I want it to be in the coverage area. but the more I go up germoton road the bars go up to 4bars but the sec I go into stokes county where I have family ther is no coverage at all not even one bar. so at the end of this mouth am making a charge to Alltel [soon to be Verizon wireleess]

Comment Edit - on second thought Alltel is the strong carrier in Winston. I would love to switch but can only sign up with ATT,VZW,Sprint, or TMobile through work. Depending on how soon VZW will be able to use Alltel towers after the acquisition, I may just go to them. With Alltel towers, Verizon would become the leader in the Carolinas hands down.
