I had no problems with reception in the Williamson area. I've tried other carriers before switching to Verizon and none of them have as wide a coverage area as Verizon.

my phone gets signal in some odd places and I didnt have ANY signal in Williamson, Matewan, Red Jacket, or anywhere else. I drove to williamson from northeast PA and I lost signal an hour before I got there and didnt get it back till I was back north of williamson the next day. The funny part is that AT&T's coverage map reflects the most service on their coverage map, and 95% of you above who have AT&T also say it sucks. 1 Alltel user above loves their service and their coverage map says they HAVE NO service in the area. Verizon owners have all the luck but Verizon's coverage map HAS NO service in the area. One of the locals says the best cell coverage there is Appalachian Wireless, but how would I know whether other providers allow A.W. to use their towers so I'll have the signal I need all over WV, VA, PA and NJ ? Let's try to get this story straight - who in ALL of WV has the best coverage in Williamson, Matewan, etc AND still has full nationwide coverage?

Verizon is the only thing that works. I even get 3G here. Very happy.

In Williamson reception is normally 2 or more bars with dead zones pretty much as soon as you head out of the town towards WV. Services continues pretty good into Kentucky.
