i was with Alltel for several years and once they merged with verison the service has gone down hill. I have never been so unhappy with any cell phone provider in my life. their responce to my problem is '' we can't do anything about it.'' I work in longview and live in ore city and can only use my phone in certian places once left longview. I feel if you pay good money for service you should recieve atleast fair service. I cant even get service in my own house. this is an own going problem with no sighns of any improvement and I will be looking into AT&T very soon. get your stuff together verison you claim to be the best lets see it. I have 6 phones with yall and internet and will be removing all of them and more people will shortly follow

Most of the time the cell phone said Emergency calls only

Excellent GSM reception at Ore CIty and NE side of the Lake O' The Pines area. Now there are 3-5 consistent bars of reception where there used to be none.

This is actually a new Cellular One GSM tower that has recently been put in nearby, but us Cingular customers can use it. Before there was little or no reception in Ore City, but now the signal is coming in GREAT!

The only way Alltel will work is to go outside our home... walk around until we get a signal... ..don't move till the call is finished... and then sometimes a call can be made... pitiful... .been this way for 2 years now... they say they're putting up more towers but apparently not in this area! And none of the other carriers will even talk to us about service.
