5 Mile In Parnell / Murray Lake Rd. intersection, Lowell, MI 49331 Wed May 17, 2006

I live on the island / Murray Lake and my reception stops around St. Pats church. At the Murray Lake and Murray view intersection, I get reception and can talk on 2 bars there... .but if I breathe wrong it goes away. Once I am on the island... no reception whatsoever. It is very frustrating to not be able to use my phone in my home... which it sounds like I am not alone. I swear, every other person I know can use a cell at my house but me. Now that is not funny! Trouble is... I like the Alltel plan I have, so I am not willing to change it at this point (regardless if I have another year and a half contract!) I hope that we can all find what we are looking for someday!

Are they planning on putting a service on the Nextel tower there?

This is our home. There is almost never any signal here, and when there is, we can never connect. Didn't purchase the phones for home use, but was promised there would be reception here. There is a new tower just north of us, unfortunately it is Nextel and were are locked in for almost two more years... ... ... ..

Meredith Grade Rd. and Toohey Trail, Harrison, MI 48625 Mon Jan 09, 2006

Incredibly low signal strength. Must have a 3 watt transceiver. Little toy hand held pocket phones are totally useless. No tower nearby to my knowledge. Have offered a tower spot on our land but they don't take us up on it. This is a big recreation area year round.

US 2 / M 189 intersection, Iron River, MI 49935 Wed Aug 24, 2005

Downtown Iron River has no reception (tower is reported to be active by fall) but between Iron River and Crystal Falls, the signal strength is mostly five bars (calls do drop while travelling toward Crystal Falls, down a steep hill, losing "line of sight" to the tower. You get coverage again at the bottom of the hill)

Sharon / 66 and M-72 intersection, Fife Lake, MI 49633 Tue May 24, 2005

alltel is the worst(both signal and service)... ... ... ..i take 3 different 25-30 mile commuts to work and I get a usable signal over about 3 miles each route when i'm nearly to work anyway... ... ..at home with a 40 ft. tower antenna and 3 watt analogue phone it works 70 -80 % of the time if i'm lucky! Both Fletcher rd. and M-72 are heavily travelled yet very little signal available on 72 and none on Fletcher!

4 3 / 4 Mile Rd. / Gordonville intersection, Midland, MI 48640 Fri Apr 15, 2005

Reception ranges from none (most of the time) to poor (infrequently) at home. This, obviously, severely limits our use of the service.

Edenville area very bad to none as for reception Need to go south 4 to 5 miles or to the west going to Coleman the same to the north or to the east, Edenville is a verry poor area for use of cell phones.
