ALLTEL IS HORRIBLE... THEY HAVE GOT TO BE THE WORST CARRIOR AROUND. NEVER WORKS ALWAYS SAYING "NO SERVICE" DONT U HATE LOOKING DOWN AND SEEING THAT.. IT MAKES U WANNA THROUGH IT OUT THE WINDOW... . SPRINT / NEXTEL IS HORRIBLE TO... GO WITH VERIZON IF U WANT RELIABLE SERVICE.. I'VE NEVER HAD TO PROBLEM

works well except when in my apartment and other thick buildings. i've had sprint, at&t, and now Alltel and they are all about the same. Sprint customer service is by far the worst... but that's a different category. thinking about switching to verizon, cincular, or t mobile

AT&T has poor to no reception in many parts of Bexley

Terrible reception inside my home around Clinton and Adams streets. Curse you AT&T! (But to be fair, good reception in a lot of places ~1 mile away or so)

Rarely can I hold a conversation in my house without dropping a call. It's normal for friends to say they called, but my phone didn't ring (girlfriend loves that one). Also, I get voicemail notices sometimes a day or two after it was left (though, there is no time / date stamp with the messages).

I get great reception every wear except for my own house. I have to go near a window to use the phone at my house. Everywear else I get at least 3 bars normally I get 4 bars.

Great reception everywhere I've been with Cingular all the way to Hilton Head, and west and east coast of Fl with small exception in mountains where I don't expect coverage. HOWEVER, I have HATED having Cingular for billing issues, fees, taxes, etc. They bill one month in advance on everything, and my razr phone died about six weeks after one yr warranty and have had no reasonably priced way to replace it All they ask is if I bought the insurance. (Which I didn't---think they're just trying to increase sales for insurance) And, I'm a nice, calm grandma who has never, in any way, abused the phone. Can't wait for two year contract to end in December so I can switch carriers. Loved T-Mobile I had previously, but did have more dropped calls. Would love to have the same good coverage, phone works everywhere, inside and out, everywhere, except the mountains, but with T-Mobile. Is that possible?

I am only one of 6 in my family who has Cingular - all others are Verizon. I am the only one who can use my cell phone in the house in Cols - all others go outside in backyard to talk. I also use my phone easily in DC, Phila, Balt, Chicago, Phx, Dallas, MIA, ATL, and SF- Verizon was better in NYC - Manhattan

Signal drops from 4 or 5 bars to 0 randomly, leading to most calls getting dropped at some point. Numerous dead spots throughout Columbus. Terrible customer service, with them trying to convince me to get a new phone (this is my fourth phone with them). I will be switching to Verizon when this god-awful contract is up in a few months.

Very good signal and rarely a dropped call
