In Whitmire, Alltel is definitely the way to go. Just look at the tower search for the town. The only registered tower here is owned by Alltel. They're apparently the only ones that care about a good signal here. The signal is perfect all over the area and really all over South Carolina in all the places I go. I wish I'd of found this site before I wasted two years paying more for fewer minutes with Verizon and 0-1 bars. For others having problems, go with Alltel here.

Can sometimes get enough signal to make a call. Cannot receive calls. There are some areas on hills where a signal can be obtained.

Service is reasonably fair on hilltops and level spots but close to non-existent in valleys and inside buildings. Analog is still the most reliable mode here. None of the competitors seem to work any better. This area wants and badly needs a tower close by.
