Alltel does not support this area at all and even though they were purchased by Verizon you do not get the benefit of Verizon's towers or tower updating that Verizon users receive. You are considered "roaming". Your phone is useless yet Alltel holds you to the Alltel contract even though Verizon and Alltel are now one and the same. Terrible!

Not able to receive any calls or even dial a number the network is worst.

Can occasionally receive a text message. Can't make or receive calls

Switched from Verizon to AT&T because I thought AT&T would have best iPhone coverage. Big mistake. Very weak or no signal in house. Discovered problem was with AT&T too late to drop contract and go back to Verizon. It appears that Verizon is the carrier of choice in Eldersburg. Does anybody know of any AT&T plans to improve service or means of submitting formal complaints.

There is no reception at all. I live at the Manor apartments at georgia avenue and bel pre road. Its annoying. We have to step outside to talk and dont know how I am gonna handle in winter.

No reception in the house, one bar (sometimes) outside. ATT gave me a microcell, unsolicited, a year or so ago. It works in the winter, usually, but not when there are leafs on the trees.

Massive dead zone for multiple android phones (3g and 4g).

The voice and data are dead

Mostly NO reception (both ATT and Verizon). Several cell phones in the house, including Blackberries and iPhones all with similar reception difficulties. You lay the phone down in one spot and watch the signal strengh go from 3 bars to none and back. This is insane!

Never more than 0-1 bars in my house. It's terrible reception pretty much everywhere (although it does work much better outside 2-3 bars). Go with Verizon, do not get stuck in an AT&T contract if you live in Frederick, MD.
