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.

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.

I cannot use my phone almost anywhere in my neighborhood, especially in my house. Have complained to Alltel but was given "Oh well" They tell me I'm right in the middle of 3 towers so I should get good reception. Wrong. I have tried several ways of trying to fix this with Alltel but they will not budge. Basicly they told me to either buy a new phone at the full price, I'm 7 months away from finishing a 2 year contract, or pay the $400 dollars to get out of the contract, I have 2 phone lines, and go to another company. I have been an Alltel customer for about 12 years now and this is what I get. Thanks Alltel!

this area is the blackhole of cell phone coverage. Nextel is the only service that ever worked in the house. Verizon is crap in virginia beach.
