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.
