sometime I get 2 bars outside but when I enter my house I have to walk around looking for a signal. I,m lucky if I can get 1 bar and shall I say 3G what is that. Wish I had stayed in the CNU area where I was. Come on AT&T u can do better.

To be bluntly honest, the only reason I switched to Alltel is because my work pays for a line, and with Alltel I could include all my personal numbers in My Circle, not go over my minute balance, and not have to pay for my own personal cell line. I had Sprint for about 4 years, and coverage wasn't bad. Signal would go up and down a lot and there were a lot of places the signal faded down to nothing inside. But now, with alltel, I was extremely surprised at how well the coverage is here. I can use it in the stairwell or elevator at work. Brick and lack of windows doesn't seem to phase the signal as much as it use to with my former provider. Alltel does drop down to a couple bars in areas where Sprint would cut out. Pretty much everywhere I've been, inside or out, Alltel has worked for me. The signal stays usable in most parts of large buildings like Wal-Mart and Patrick Henry Mall also which is tough for any provider. Switching my line over to Alltel worked out great for me.

i have reception almost everywhere I go except for walmart's. The air card that they sell now is great too

Ok, I have had T-Mobile for like 6 years. The reception is ok but not good enough, especially in willamsburg. Finally after giving my account away to a family member I said goodbye and went to alltel--the best decision I ever made. Wow, I get reception everywhere! in places I wouldnt dream off with tmobile! even where I work!there my circle is the best, I got 900 minutes I hardly touch with me using my ten friends and mobile to mobile free nights and weekeneds-- I really recomend alltel!

No problems making / receiving calls in my condo. Can carry a call from Denbigh to VA Beach without dropping. Did have some spots on RT 17 S in Isle of White where I picked up no svc. I also use a Verizon v710 and svc is excellent on it as well. It had svc south of the James when my Alltel didnt.

This area has long been a issue fo Alltel to provide good digital service. Numerous calls to Alltel to improve have made little progress. And dont even hope for good in building coverage as it won't happen. Many users many phones all the same issues. Funny thing Alltels orginial office for the area was located in this business park for lots of major business such as Canon USA.

Poor in Walmart stores. Poor in link between here and Denbigh area (5 miles north).

Reception has gotten worse each year. In doors poor reception. During the storm (Isabelle) NO SERVICE!

AT&T just erected a new cell phone tower about 1.5 miles away but reception has not improved

Poor when I am inside, but the moment I go outside, signal improves

Worst in the area. Dropped calls, no connectivity to delayed voice mail. I can't wait till contract is up!

works ok if your outside. Once you enter a building or go inside your house or work, I get dropped calls and lots of "hello, r u there?" When your outside though, Cingular is good...

Zero reception inside the house, it is pretty bad. If I go outside to the yard I may get some, but even if I am lucky to get a call out it takes a minute and the call drops. My friends have Alltel / Verizon and don't have the same problem.

I've had T-Mobile and Sprint, neither one has worked great in this area. All my friends who have Verizon get great reception here. I don't have Verizon because they wanted a $1000 depositfrom me! Rediculous!

Travel all over with my job, only real complant with Sprint is a lack of decent phones. Been in Texas and got 3 - 4 bars in a car with a person on Verizon with no signal. Noticed most Sprint complaints are on Samsung phones, mgiht be the older phones or you may need to swtich to newer phones.

I don't know if it's because my phone is so old, or the service just isn't very good in the area... Outside it usually works decent, drop calls occasionally, inside my appartment it's terrible. In a two floor townhouse on the top floor (no special sheilding or anything) I get dropped calls all the time, downstairs, i'm lucky if I have signal. If I am on the phone downstairs it's usually: "hello? can you hear me?" downstairs Alltel and Verizon have some problems usually too though.

Terrible! If you are lucky enough to get a call through at all, it will drop at least half the time.

The phone constantly drops calls. I am lucky to ever see three bars and when I do, they don't last. I have been a long time customer, living elsewhere, but here I am just waiting for my contract to expire.

Rarely get bars in the house. They come and go. Going out to the street sometimes works. It's not just T-Mobile, neighbors with other carriers have the same problem - it's the location near the James River.

i have had T-Mobile for 5 years I have never really had a problem with service. great reception in my apartment / townhouse and around hampton roads. I have been at a friends house in va beach 1 mile from the beach and didn't get service really at all. if I did it dropped me quick other than that I love T-Mobile great customer service whenever I have had to call them
