Alltel - either NO SERVICE or 1 antenna bar at best, with terrible reception and dropped calls. Our friends with Verizon came to visit, and they all had complete antenna bars on their phones. 10 / 30 / 07.

I had T-Mobile which wasn't bad in Hampton, but it was very very weak around Suffolk. I switched my number over to Alltel and so far the coverage has been much better. I get a signal all over and it's always very good. I get full signal where I need it at home and at work. I've spent time just driving around and watching the signal meter since I'm still in my trial period, and it's really hard to believe how much better Alltel is around here. Coverage is good and plans are nice too. I find that on my two lines I rarely use any anytime minutes since most of my calls are to the 10 unlimited numbers in my circle.

I work off of Burnetts Way at the hospital but live on basically the other side of Suffolk just off of E Washington St. It seems like I travel all over the city though but Alltel reception has always been great. I've tried it out for a while, 4 months now after getting a Razr from their store on N Main. But I get full signal at home and at work on 5 bars. Reception is great all over the city and it seems like even the backroads are covered great. No problems driving toward Emporia or Norfolk either. I'm very happy with this service. Call quality is also great and no dropped calls like I previously had with another provider I won't mention. I'm seriously thinking about getting rid of my landline too now because of how reliable it has been.

I just got a iphone 4s, at first the phone worked great but now all dropped calls, or no service from At&T, soon as I am out of my area phone works great... I am so fustrated and only found this out that At& T only has one tower 4 miles from where I live and lieing customer service at At&T says that there are two towers. Hopefully I can help someone else not make the same mistake..

Always drops calls, and what more, the phone locks up when calls come in.

Worst phone, worst reception, and worst customer service ever. My 2 year contract ends next week. I've had 3 of the V180s, and my son had 2 - because they died. Reception in the house is terrible. Sitting there with 4 bars, then drops the call. Then a bar or 2. Random work. If at home and need to make an important call, I use my land line. My husbands Verizon phone works just fine.

Extreme variability in reception; subject to heavy military and commercial flight corridor traffic.

reception is terrible in Bennetts Harbor. Sprint even sent me a mini cell tower but it dosen't work most of the time. Its always needing to be reset which is a pain. My sons Verizon cell does fine because Verizon has a cell tower on lee farm road.

I get random periods of no reception, but as soon as I leave that neighborhood it's great.

Very poor reception in neighborhood. Reception increases greatly when exiting neighborhood. I get great reception from Sprint everywhere except in that neighborhood.
