Bethel Manor Air Force housing is a black hole for Alltel. Inside the houses there is no reception on the ground floor. Reception on second floor and outside is below average for both connectivity and quality. I have been in contact with Tech Support several times about this problem and have found that the no / poor reception stems from Bethel Manor being equidistant between two towers that are over 4 miles apart. Alltel plans no fix for the problems in the foreseeable future. With my contract up I am going with Sprint, since Sprint has erected what's expected to be a digital service tower at the StoreMoore location on the corner of Hwy. 134 and Big Bethel Road. This tower is no more than 300m from the house. If you live in Bethel Manor, do not select Alltel as your carrier.

The phone is nice, but T-Mobile's reception is pretty poor OUTSIDE my house (1-2 bars). I'm VERY lucky to see 1 bar inside my house on the second floor.

Great phone, terrible network. Reception intermittent in and around my home. Somewhat better outside, but not significantly and not consistently. I can stand in a spot and get as much as two bars and go back to the same spot later and get no reception at all. I get solid reception at work (in the NASA / LAFB area), however. Phone is kept up to date with software / programming through Verizon's over the air feature, but with little effect. It's mostly a placebo to keep me paying the monthly fee, I think. I'd like to meet that "Can you hear me now?" idiot and... well, nevermind.

Olde Wythe section. Little to no recepition in the house with Sprint PCS, some limited to broken on the patio. My neighbor's Alltel phone seems to work much better. My neighbor's Verizion phone does not work any better than the Sprint.

Just switched from another provider and may be switching back. Have vast periods of time with NO coverage inside the house. At most, get 1-2 bars (far less than 1 / 2). Outside the subdivision, coverage is fine.
