I am concerned about my signal once Verizon takes over Alltel next week. I heard there is no tower in Lynchburg and the reception is horrible. Will they use Alltel's towers to give customers the same reception? My contract is up and I am considering changing carriers.

Had Alltel for a few years, pretty satisfied,its my only source of communication,no home phone,inside reception is great,occasional lost calls but overall satisfied.

We go outside most of the time to use our cell phones like most of our neighbors with difsignal ferent providers. I hope for Verizon increases strength in our neighborhood

Alltel was horrible in my area. tried to use Alltel as an alternative to my home phone with no luck. Also no coverage on 460 W going into Bedford

I have had Alltel for more than two years and have had no problems with reception. It's the best wireless company I have had. We only have cellphones with no landline phone at all so it is very important to get good reception. I would really like to switch to TMobile to get better rates but am a little leary to do so.

great much better than us cellular

Alltel is pretty cool. Ive never had a problem with "no service" around Lynchburg. I have received the "all circuits busy" message a few times, but other than that it works fine. I would like to see Verizon wireless come to Lynchburg~ they are probaly the only service thats better.

Lots of dropped calls, bad reception, and spurious service. If the weather is bad then it gets even worse. Outside or inside there is a large dead zone for alltel. I haven't been very impressed with Alltel. I borrowed a Cingular phone for a month and had very few dropped calls and much better service everwhere.

Haven't lost a call in 3 months. I get near perfect signal everywhere! My co-workers have to go outside to make calls but I can call crystal clear from my office in the center of the building. I'm a Liberty University staff member; if you go to Liberty get Alltel!

Throughout Lynchburg, Charlottesville, and Richmond, Alltel has near-perfect reception. Calls are dropped occasionally, and you hit patches of roaming along 64 E to Richmond, but aside from that, no complaints but expense of plans and long wait for service in stores.
