I cannot get reception anywhere in the house, or even near it. I need to stand in front yard at least 25 feet from the house. No reception in the back yard either. Spotty reception around town too.

No reception in the entire Ocean Park neighborhood. To even get a signal you have to be on Shore Dr.

For the first time, my iPhone said "no service" inside Croakers. Looking up the towers online, there's a Cingular tower not that far away on Page Avenue. Do some restaurants use some kind of device to block cell phone signals since they don't want them used in the restaurant? Just curious...

I always have a signal, hardly ever drops calls. I've been up and down the East coast and the only place I've been where I didn't have a signal or a very weak signal is rural Pennsylvania. Alltel has great service, but their phone selection is kinda crappy.

T-Mobile is awesome. GREAT customer service. I always have signal everywhere I go.

Great coverage in this area. I had 2-3 bars at my house with previous provider and many more problems inside in many places, but have full signal with Alltel at my house and it tends to drop off far less indoors. The coverage is good at house, on base, all through Tidewater Dr. and Military Hwy. The signal just tends to stay strong all through the area. My Circle is a nice calling feature also that can be used for many free minutes. I usually try to write pros and cons, but my only complaint I can think of is the store by Blockbuster in Janaf was busy the day I was there so I had to wait about 15 minutes, but it was a Saturday afternoon. The gentleman seemed friendly and helpful though.

I have a 3 bar TX signal and a 1 bar EVDO signal on my cell phone. I recently purchased a Verizon broadband modem (air card) for Internat access which uses the EVDO signal for broadband speeds. If I plug in the booster antenna that came with the modem and put the antenna in a window, I can achieve broadband speeds on my modem.

T-Mobile (at least HTC models: Dash and Wing) has been nearly perfect every place I've been in VB: from home down to and including intersection of Holland and PA Rd. I've even had excellent service in the Lynnhaven Mall area (where Cingular and Verizon have NO service). Buffalo, NY, and southern Ontario have also been excellent. Limited travel to Europe has also provided excellent service. I've never been without service. I must add, however that the Blackberry Pearl did occasionally not have a signal. HTC + T-Mobile = excellent service!

I was originally with SunCom but didn't re-sign with Cingular when they bought my contract or something. But an unlimited or high minute plan with Cingular would have cost a fortune. I first switched to nTelos but coverage in general wasn't great in Virginia Beach. I took the phone back during the trial period and tried Alltel. Alltel's plans aren't unlimited but they have the unlimited calling to any 10 numbers with my circle so it's basically unlimited calling for me. The coverage around here is excellent also. The phone is just about always on full signal, it doesn't matter if I'm at the apartment building or at Wal-Mart or at one of the malls or anywhere really. I also know Regent is covered great because I live pretty close to there and drive by it every day. I don't even look at the signal meter anymore I just expect to be able to make a call. Overall, I would say Alltel is the way to go around here because the coverage is just perfect around here. It's much better than even others I know with Verizon or Cingular and they have some good plans for people like me that need about unlimited minutes but they also have a lot of basic plans too and pre-paid. I guess I've become sort of a fan but I'm just happy with the product and service I got and am enjoying the experience after the trouble I had elsewhere.
