Very good reception south end of Winston-Salem just into Davidson County.

t mobile does not have coverage in north carolina but the roaming is free and they have one of the best roaming coverage.

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.

you have great coverage you can talk and do not have to think about a dropp call.

bad coverage your call will be lost. your the call will go in and out.And the call might be dropped.

you have service for about 1 minute then you lost it. and then the service comes back in.but the coverage is so little you can not even talk and if you do get a call in your lucky. but the call will be lost.

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]

i have the new AT&T. and they say on tv that they have more bars in more places. that is not true when am at church my Cingular phone will good in and out of service. so I testedmy our phone that is a Alltel phone and I have 5bars and when I talk the call is clear not in and out like at&t.

Non-existent! Sucks! These two words describe their service or lack thereof both out in the field and technologically perfectly. Inconsistent voicemail, email reception, i.e., I get them on-time, late (like days or weeks later!) or not at all! Dropped calls? At least 3 a day - sometimes the calls just "end" while they are in the process of dialing - how do you like that one? Too many dead zones to speak of. They were once the best in the business, but with all the mergers I really don't know who is any better any more. Had Sprint and had the same problems with them with missed voice mails, text messages, etc. With children you cannot have that kind of lax service.

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.
