Even indoors, the Alltel signal is great around here. Not even indoors can I remember the signal dropping down below half way and I can make or receive a call anywhere. Full signal at my aparment village and about everywhere in Virginia Beach I normally travel. The hospital where I work (Sentara Virginia Beach) is really bad about blocking a signal but it works throughout with Alltel. I've heard Alltel is on that 850 MHz which means it penetrates better indoors and goes on further from the tower. I'm not sure exactly but the entire area around here is covered great, even problem areas others report with other providers. I'm on a family plan and get 2 lines, unlimited My Circle (Any 10 numbers), free nights, free weekends, and 900 daytime minutes for $69.99. Much better than I could find from any other provider.

Terrible reception in apt. Calls drop and fail to connect all the time. Cannot get signals half the time when in malls. Have to stay close to patio or windows to make a descent call. Sometimes, even outside i'll get a network error message. It might be the phone but I never had these problems before the merge with AT&T. Put 2 and 2 together. Im checking out some other companies.

Terrible reception from apartment

I always get great reception all over Virginia Beach and all of Hampton Roads really. I've never had any billing issues but customer service has been real nice and patient helping me figure out My Account online. Always on full signal consistently in area. Full signal at the Pembroke mall, at my apartment, down by the oceanside, and at Mt. Trashmore. Inside Lynnhaven mall the signal drops down to 3 bars but I can still make and hold a call without a problem throughout the whole thing. Very happy with service and I would recommend it to others.

Always drop calls in this area, have changed phones within the same contract, nothing works. I use other people's Sprint or Cingular phones in those areas when I can use my Nextel. I have no problems with the other carriers.

I get great service wherever I go with Sprint. I can only think of one time since I've had the phone that I didn't have service and that was in a bathroom with no windows. I had T-Mobile and I was lucky to get one bar in my house and my calls were dropped 75% of the time. No problem now though.

freekin sweet. phone is awesome,. and so is service. I have like 2-4 bars everywhere I go.

I loved Alltel for the first year, then started getting bad reception in Richmond where most of my family lives. Also have recently received bills with a lot of overage minutes which I tried to dispute but was told their computers are always accurate. Unable to resolve, so I'm looking to switch to nTelos or TMobile.

Although there is a new tower near the Little Neck Swim and Raquet Club, much of little neck is still a wireless black hole. Find a carrier that uses an 850 mhz system and get a repeater if you plan on using your phone in much of kings grant, middle plantation and anthing further north on little neck RD.

I go to ODU but am living in Virginia Beach near Providence but travel throughout the city and Alltel coverage throughout the area has been great. In Virginia Beach I generally stay on at least 4 bars and 5 most of the time. But I haven't noticed anywhere I even drop down to 3. The reception has been great and so has the call quality. I've never had a dropped call here. The coverage and prices are top notch. That My Circle thing is a good deal. Customer service has been great too. I would definitely recommend Alltel for this region.
