Just received my phone with Alltel service and took it up to Mt Lemmon along with my existing Verizon phone. Both the Verizon phone and my friends Sprint phone had 3 bars. Alltell had ZERO. Phone service in this area with Alltel should be renamed "Nobar"

Odd, this Alltel. I just switched from Sprint (don't ask me why - just kick me!) and have found that SOMETIMES I have coverage in my neighborhood (Desert Hills) with Alltel and sometimes not! This past weekend I couldn't make a call at all. Today (Monday) no problems! I am (as are many of you) caught up in a new 2 yr, so yep - no recourse except to say "thanks for the s_x lady" and move on - no longer term potential here! LOL Seriously, does anyone in my area (Desert Hills) get good service on Alltel while at home? If so, perhaps it is my phone. Post here if you can. Thanks!

I live in this area. Nearly every call since 12 / 22 / 06 has been dropped. Alltel refuses to ackowledge the problem. The problem exists on phones other than mine and on 2 phones I have and in other areas. Customer service is non-existant. The Prescott Valley office will not answer their phone.

Funny that Alltel has bought out Cell one and only Cell One customers have digital service in Lukachukai.

Very frustrating for a long time fan of Alltel to be upstaged by Verizon!! I'm remodeling a house in Kearny and have been without coverage. Several carriers have towers there and locals get great coverage. Now, a friend (Verizon customer)comes along to help me and his reception is great. Alltel says the phone should work and that I should turn off the phone, enter *118 but, still no service. Alltel, get with the program and pay to use these towers that are in plain site! A Long time customer

i want to know how to boost my signal on my Alltel cell phone, the nearest service area is mor than 30miles away. how can I get service in my new home.

Seems everyone I know that uses Alltel will drop a call between Table Mesa Rd on I-17 and Black Canyon City. I will always drop a call at I-17 near Carefree Hwy, too. I also drop calls on the 101 near Camelback. I've reported them numerous times and always get the same answer... "we'll look into it". Still, I get dropped calls.

I am a student at the unversity of arizona and I have no service in my dorm room

There is a cell tower on CR 131, but it must be out of service. Unable to make or receive calls for 3 days so far.

no bars or reception in the area. Have two roommates all moved here together (military) and bourght ATT with us. You have to leave the housing edtion to get a signal. ATT says their map shows coverage so won't let us out of the contracts. You cannot make or receive a call here.
