Poor reception on 1st floor of my house and a dropped call now and again. Reception is better on the front porch or upstairs. Clear reception outdoors and never had a dropped call while talking outside. Good reception where I work downtown but no signal in the building. Averages out to a two bar rating...

Worst reception ever, have to go upstairs to window for it to work. My aunt comes over with Verizon and gets full bars and very fast, I wouldn't recomend Sprint at all.

Mulroy Ct.- Shadowmoss / Shadowmoss Pkwy., Charleston, SC 29414 Tue Oct 12, 2010

Reception in my house varies between zero and 1 bar. Often have to stand by window near southern side of the house to get any reception. The kids often go outside to try to get better reception. 3 / 4 of a mile north I get no reception at all in my mother-in-laws house and brother's house in MacLaura Hall Subdivision. 3 / 4 miles west / northwest get no reception in my other brother's house. Truly hard to understand how an area so densely populated could have such awful coverage. I am switching to Verizon because my neice's friend visited here with her and had good reception at all of the above locations. Keeping my fingers crossed! Thank God for the 30 day trial period!

I still have the 864 area code and get good reception. We moved to this area from the upstate and didn't see the need to change area code.

Rt. 61 / Maclaurel Hall, Charleston, SC 29414 Sun May 09, 2010

Had an accident and needed to call for assistance. I've had little or no service at my home. Later I went to AT&T store and they said the reception is good in my location, and to go to the Apple Store to make sure my phone is okay. I know my phone is okay, because as soon as I drive out of my neighborhood it works fine. After I prove to them that my phone is okay by wasting my time at the Apple Store, they said my options were to turn in my phone or buy a cell phone signal booster. They will be happy to sell me one for $149.00 with $100.00 rebate and $20.00 per month. My husband an I already pay $145.00 per month for lousy reception. Does that seem right? What about customer satisfaction?

Alternates between one bar and none.. constant dropped calls, has been this way for almost a year now - complaints are useless they say "buy a new phone". Got a new phone, top of the line.. SAME crappy signal. Don't bother.

I got decent reception until about 2 months ago. Same problem happened in the past with both Verizon and now with Alltel - it was a bad cell in the tower. There are 3 towers in my area. I actually got to speak to an intelligent rep in the Home Office last week and he sent me a map showing he coverage in my area. Seems I am now on the FRINGE of Alltel's service. I can use my phone with 5 bars in almost any place except my home. I have to go outside and it still has me moving like an animated antenna to keep the call from disconnecting. I have a friend also on the Alltel service and their phone has no signal at my home. I guess I'm lucky to have 1 or 2 bars most of the time when sitting on my porch, compared to 0-1 depending where I am when inside the home. The only answer seems to be: purchase Alltel's new wireless booster for $299.99 It seems to me that since I was getting decent service and now they have me on Fringe Service that they should provide the booster FREE of CHARGE. It's kind of amazing too that the map says there's no EVDO service in my area, but the icon is lite-up on my phone. It took Alltel 4 months last time to find the bad cell in the tower. Maybe they decided not to replace it and to cut back the area of service - thereby putting me into their Fringe Area. Cost vs Customer?

Dropped calls all the time until I changed cell phone to Sanyo (2004); hardly any dropped calls since. Looking to upgrade to Blackberry or Treo and wondering if differnt brand will again cause me to have dropped calls.

I can sort of get reception if I hold my tongue right, raise the antenna and stand in the back yard. Otherwise I drop calls frequently. My wife has Suncom and gets fine reception - I'm switching to Alltel soon.
