1 Out of 5 (1 star) | St. Marks Wood Subdivision | Leesburg Rd., Columbia, SC 29209 |

Sometimes one bar, often none in my part of the subdivision (Southeast Columbia, near the VA Hospital). I just tested a Samsung A437 and a Nokia 6555 here in hopes of getting better reception in my house, but neither worked as well as my old Motorola, which barely works at all. Outside my neighborhood, AT&T (Cingular) reception is pretty good in this part of town, but it's pretty discouraging not to have cell service at home.

It's been this way for a year. Before that, I could actually use the phone in the house. Now, it's either no bars or one bar. Sometimes four or five bars will flicker, but it's just a flicker. CALL FAILED is what I get.

I can not make a call in my house and outside is not much better. Sprint customer for over 5 years, but no more. My contract is up and I am looking for better. Stay away from Sprint in Columbia unless you live under a tower...

Actually have Suncom service and have no complaints expept cannot use cell phone at home. Get one to no bars even standing put in the street. Also does not work when I am in my office on Platt Springs Rd.in West Columbia. I am near a window but do not get but one bar and then it will drop the call. Drops all calls when only 1 bar is showing. Very aggravating that I see everyone els's phones working but not mine.

Alltel sucks around Columbia. You are always roaming and in alot of places have no service. Inside Williams Brice Stadium you get no signal while Cingular gets 4 bars. I wouldnt recommend Alltel to anyone

In my house, no matter what room I'm in my reception is "iffy" very, and I do mean very, seldom do I get 3 to all five bars, but its all about where i'm standing. Outside the reception is better, but no matter where i'm going in Columbia, SC, my calls get dropped at least once a day. It could be the other person's phone, but majority of the time when I look at my phone after the call is dropped, the colors of my bars have gone grey and I have lost all service. Then it comes back in a matter of some seconds.

5 Out of 5 (5 stars) | Columbia and Surrounding Areas, Columbia, SC 29229 |

Travel extensively around Columbia and surrounding cities for work, use Alltel for work phone. Have Verizon for personal phone. Have never had one problem with Alltel in any area. Verizon is spotty, which suprised me because they are usually the best everywhere. I-20 towards Florence is really poor, and interstates are poor aruond columbia as well. Alltel would be my choice here.

Verizon is the best! My family has Alltel and Nextel and they keep asking to use my phone because they do not get reception in most places! Feels good to be a part of the most reliable network!
