Not too many problems... does not work well on Mt. Union Rd.or Cabell Huntington Hospital.

Must stand at front window to get a single bar. Neighbors on other side of Woodville have to walk out towards the road to try and get reception. Woodville is in a small valley 5 miles south of downtown Huntington. Sprint has super coverage out here.

All over huntington I drop calls about every five minutes of talk time... Goes from 4-5 bars to no service to 4-5 bars in seconds. I think it may be the phone more than the carrier.

With my nTelos service, I have to make calls on my front porch. My service does not work inside my house. With my ATT / Cingular service pay as you go phone, I can make clear calls from anywhere in Huntington.

Great coverage inside Hospital, and all over Huntington. My old carrier Ntelos, worked just inside the front door of most "Big Box" stores but would drop out farther inside. My Sprint phone works everywhere, and the voices are clear,where my old phone was hard for me to understand.

Average at least 1 dropped call per 10 minutes of talk time. People on the other end have a difficult time understanding my garbled voice that fades in and out. Thinking it's possibly the phone because my older Nokia phone (w / Cingular) wasn't too bad in the same area.

Having been a TDMA customer from the analog days, I was fairly sceptical when my AT&T / Cingular acct rep started touting the new GSM system as exceeding TDMA. I still have a sore spot from leaving my analog bag phone for a little TDMA handheld. So, I stubbornly held out for two years after it's launch in the area. Until I left my cell phone on top of my car one day... that forced my hand - I *had* to have a phone! Boy was I a moron! Not only did I get more minutes and a lower bill by switching; I found that I had more coverage in areas that my TDMA phone ever had. I kept warning my clients that I may drop them going into certain areas and it didn't happen. It was like night and day... Very happy here!

Verison is best to use for wvor tri-state area! Its way cheaper than AT&T and sprint! I use to have Sprint and I use to pay 185 a month for 2 phones now I only pay 126 for 2 nice way better bionic Motorola and the galaxy s! Way better than the Samsung intercepts I use to have!.

Nextel is very expensive, phones are antiques and break frequently, customer service personnel are almost as rude and useless as Alltel, but noone can be that bad...

Alltel is the only cell service that has 5 bars at Spring Valley High School. All others such as Sprint, Cingular, and Verizon Wireless are lucky if they even get service at the school.
