my home is located in a rural area of south bamberg, sc. my reception is terrible. there is a tower within 2 miles of my home but it apparently is not verizon. I've had Verizon for more than 5 years. I would change carriers but I find Verizon to be good while traveling and at my out of town work place (I live away from bamberg for work). I also have a pc card but cannot use the internet while at the bamberg location. I really need better. I would do away with my landline if my wireless service was better.

I recently went up to buy property. I went from Bamberg to Blackville to Barnwell to Aiken. With the exception of a brief moment in Aiken, I had ZERO reception the entire time I was there! Nextel blows. I am switching to Alltel when I finally move up there. They seem to have the only reliable service coast to coast!

I get no reception halfway between Bishopville and Bethune.Verizon's coverage map shows coverage and upon calling them,they say its my phone.This is the fourth phone to do this,which rules that out.Cingular coverage is great.This area just needs a tower!

We had Alltel for many years and have always had decent service at this location. Maybe a few dropped calls, but we could count on using it. Since going to Verizon, the cell phone is useless at this location and the battery lasts about three hours as it is constantly searching.I have been on the phone with customer service and the technicians for many hours and have absolutely nothing resolved except the fact that they cannot help me. No, I would not recommend this service and yes, I am looking for a way out

Heard new tower is being located near Hwy. 6 and Rocks Pond Rd.in Eutawville. Is this so?

No bars, haven't even seen one bar since moving out here off and on one bar comes and goes

This is just a dead spot for some reason. Contacted Alltel; they gave a few options to try to reset the phones, but it still doesn't work.

No reception, even with high gain external antenna mounted on rooftop -- which makes me wonder if the tower at 1117 Back Swamp Rd. is actually operational.

I just started not getting my calls, and it is only during part of the day. Verizon saids its may be because they are working on the towers during the day but they really have no idea because they get the tower from Alltel and my parents have that and theres works just fine.

From Ridgeway to Lugoff, I have no signal.
