Very good coverage all over town. Usually have 5-6 bars in town. Alltel has EVDO coverage in town. Overall, I am very satisfied with Alltel service in San Angelo. Signal needs to be stronger in the Grape Creek area outside of town.

Coverage is excellent all over town. Dropped calls are extremely rare. Network has EVDO coverage in this area. Overall, I have no complaints with the service that Alltel provides for San Angelo.

ATT really sucks in San Angelo area. Moved here and have alot of dropped calls. They want cancel contract.

AT&T service here is alright here. They finally put native coverage out here in Spring 2007, and then acquired Cellular One from Dobson that summer. AT&T customers have had to roam on the local carriers prior to that. The Dobson merger has improved things, but majority of their service still appears to be at 1900Mhz, which does not get into some buildings very well. Calls drop occasionally, but it does not happen very often. The bigger problem is that every once in a while calls will start getting techno garbled for no apparent reason (which seems to indicate an imminent drop) even with full bars, and being outside. Overall though, service with AT&T is pretty good here. No real major complaints No UMTS 3G yet, but I hear it is coming. I would say Alltel and West Central are probably better however, and any of these are better than Sprint / Nextel, or T-Mobile.

Got on Sprint in Jan. was told tower was having problems. April 14, 3 towerer not working today, can't make a phone call inside my house, have 1 bar and lots of droped calls outside... ...

Seems to work quite well now. Used to have sporadic problems. Set your phone to Sprint ONLY! You could end up roaming off network even in the city.

No 3g or edge at all in san angelo. I have to roam when using the internet to get descent speeds.

Verizon's 3g network is just too slow for videos. They need to hurry up and turn on LTE in a town of nearly 100,000 people. Smaller towns across the nation are getting 4g before us which does not make any sense. They are dragging their feet in their rollout in this part of Texas. Other big towns such as Lubbock, Amarillo, Midland / Odessa, and Abilene also do not have 4g. So... Hurry up Verizon!

The network is really good, but not excellent as far as overall signal strength. I have never had any drop calls anywhere in town, even in areas with only one bar. No problems sending and receiving text messages. If you want a better picture regarding signal strength, check out the "Rootmetrics" website. You can get an idea on signal strength and coverage using real-world data. Overall, verizon's network is extremely hard to beat. Network should be upgraded to LTE sometime in the near future, so data speeds should improve drastically.

Verizon owns Alltel's network in this area. I have never had any problems with Verizon anywhere in town. Very strong signal in most parts of town. No dropped calls ever. Coverage of Grape Creek has improved.
