Reception is spotty at best, even with a 3 watt booster and external antennae.

Constant dropped calls, sometimes 3 times in 1 minute, No reception many times, battery drains within 10 mins even with overnite charge.

The reception up here is horrible. The only way to receive incoming calls is to go to our upstairs. Same way with dialing out. I agree with what the farmer from Ewing, NE said, this area sucks for service!

Gigantic hole, no reception for many blocks in all directions.

terrible reception or none. this service is useless.

1-2 bars when we get reception. usually we don't.. and if we do.. calls are dropped..even tried using Nokia phone... they said for 300 dollars we could be released of our contract. ther's a tower 3 miles from my home and I cannot recieve or make calls EVER! Cingular says if I can ever get reception I am locked into their contract even if it is only for 2 minutes at a time.. terrible company!

This area sucks for service, Alltel really needs to put in a tower for farmers who rely on their phones.

This service is HORRIBLE! I was told there was a tower within 2 miles of Hartington, but yet somehow there is NO service. If you are lucky enough call out or receive a call, it will be dropped almost immediately! I think there is definately a problem with all of there "towers" in that area!

No reception or signal of any kind

A black hole -- no reception at all, although my relatives' Alltell works fine. I used to get excellent reception with a Nokia, which sales people informed me was a dual coverage (analog / digital) phone, so apparently no digital towers out east yet. Coverage along the Interstate is excellent and in Lincoln is ok.
