I have an Ohio number and still get great reception out here in WA, I don't know if Alltel is big around here but it works great for me, I just need to look into getting a WA number now. My mom tends to complain that she can't always understand what I'm saying, but I think she wouldn't be able to understand me even if I was talking to her in person.
I live behind comcast, very little reception inside, when I answer, calls are quickly droppped. Very disappointed with AT&T / Cingular. Guess I'm better off with a landline.
Although the Verizon bars often indicate full coverage in WWU buildings, calls do not go out nor do they come in. But, if I arrive on campus while on the phone, the call stays connected. This is likely not a tower issue but a bandwidth issue with 10000 students using cell phones there are not enough channels. If I leave my phone on in any building, the battery quickly dies as it tries and tries to maintain contact. Each transmission costs charge. "How many Bars" is not the only issue!
0 bars on most of Lummi reservation. Haxton is a major road connecting the ferry to the mainland. the east side gets some signal from Bellingham across the bay but the west side is totally dead.
ATT is worthless in northern washington, out toward anacortes I could be stranded without reception. Driving anywhere on any highway I would always get dropped calls. I didn't realize life outside Verizon could be that horrible. Needless to say I quit within 30 days so I wouldn't be locked into contract. In this area, Verizon is expensive, but you get what you pay for. VERIZON all the way.
Little to no coverage down here below the I-5 freeway. One would think there would be coverage within a stone's throw of a major freeway and inside the city limits.
Verizon is expensive, but I drive all over Bellingham and live near Costco. I do not have any issue with the reception. That being said, I am on this site because I want to leave Verizon for a cheaper plan elsewhere.
