Carrier / Rating

I talked to a lot of people before deciding on a carrier and about the different trouble areas. I ended up going with Alltel because I didn't hear a single bad thing about them and it was a great decision. To me, there are 2 factors to consider in picking a cell carrier, the first is coverage. Alltel's coverage is great around here. I'm on full signal all over Oshkosh. I get 5 bars on campus at UWO and at apartment. Out shopping and everywhere around the area the signal is good. Most carriers do good in the city but Alltel seems to be good all over this part of the state and the National map looked great. Even out on the road and in rural places where not many people live Alltel has been fine. The second factor is cost. I compared plans and Alltel seemed to give more minutes for the price on every plan than anybody else. I'm on a family plan and My Circle, which was unlimited calling to any 10 numbers was a big factor because I didn't need as many anytime minutes as I would have with somebody like Verizon. Overall, Alltel just seemed like a good deal compared to others and they are really good in this area for being able to make a call anywhere.

I get very limited reception in this area and absolutely No reception in the area between Cty Rd FF / 91, also along Hwy. 45 between Oshkosh and Fond du Lac at certain times of the year (esp. late winter and early spring) it seems to be weather / atmosphere related.

Coverage for all of Oshkosh is very poor, with exception of downtown where the only tower is located.

No complaints, been with since I had to switch because when Verizon took over Alltel in the area my service went to crap. But some good came out of bad because I have had really good luck with AT&T and get good reception wherever I go and love my iphone!

Pathetic. ATT reception everywhere I have been in OSH is zero bars, although once in a while I can get email in / out. Can't make or receive calls or txt. Convenient that the official ATT coverage map shows full 3G coverage all over the city though... .

Depends on the day of the week and if it is storming out.

Every place I seem to want to use my phone sucks, except at work.. WTF

I just got my iphone yesterday was soooo excited. Husband and I got the same phones so it was quite a chunk of change to hand out durning theses times. It was time for new phones and we decided to get one that was consided one of the best out there. Are we ever disappointed to say the least! 2 / 3 of the time I have NO service. When I do get service hurry and try and text or look up something because it is not going to stay. Ya know it reminds me of when I was a kid at Christmas, I got a shiny new bike and could not ride it for the snow! How would they like my payments to be as slow as their service? I just don't understand I had AT&T with my other phone at this location and it was good.

We live next to Lake Winnebago by Menominee Park and cannot use our phones in the house. Other than that they work pretty well. Lots of dropped calls on 45 to Fond du lac.

I cant even make a call from about the waukau and eureka area all the through berlin it sucks
