As a former Alltel customer now forced into Verizon's tower service, I am unhappy. South of town is now a roaming area because some rocket scientist at Verizon decided they didn't need the joint tower agreement with US Cellular that Alltel had in place. Loved the prepaid rates of Alltel, now looking at alternatives that are all more expensive.

Verizon not good at all. Keeps trying to pull in a home area tower and won't switch to the in-town tower owned by U.S. Cellular or I-Wireless. Till Verizon puts up another tower or "pushes" to the one in town I would not recommend their service.

Heading to Dolliver Park? Well once you enter the park there's thick trees around, everywhere so there is no cell reception at all at least on my LG ux 830 and Motorola razar v3c. If you got your signal alart turn on, turn it off, it will bug you lol.
