Alltel

I've been a customer since 2000, and for the most part have been fairly satisfied with their service. Lately though reception doesn't seem as good and I'm dropping more calls. Last year I had an issue with my phone and was basically told that I was not a new customer and was in the middle of a contract so they were not pbligated to be be too nice to me... I just purchased an unlocked Blackberry and since my contract is now doe, am shopping around...

Reception is usually always at one bar. Sometimes I will receive voice mails without the phone ever ringing, and drop calls are about 1 in 5. I've heard Alltel is the best in this area, but I've still got about 10-months left on my 2-year contract with Verizon so I can't switch. Lame!

Service in the house is poor to none, often times I will usually receive voicemail notification hours after the voicemail was sent. Calls fade and drop even standing outside of my home. There are no Sprint towers close to this area.

Verizon service is terrible at this location. Verizon has performed field testing and concluded that this address is a "dead" area (The Pointe Apt Complex) and have offered to cancel my contract.

I am on the top floor of an apartment and have to stand on my balcony to get clear reception. Occasionally I'll see full signal but it disappears as soon as it shows up. At least I avoided the $400 iPhone temptation and went with the free Nokia. I'll eventually have to get a land / cable line if service doesn't improve. That's cheaper than falling on the sword and switching carriers.

The combination of Verizon and Mororola has given me the best reception. I can make / receive calls from in the house and outside. Verizon also works well traveling to / from Pittsburgh even in W. Virginia.

Only areas with trouble are in 200 and 300 blocks of Hempstead Place, where there is virtually no coverage, and in Foxcroft Rd.area of Foxcroft. Otherwise, nearly always 5 bars. Also great everywhere in NC except mountains, where it is a brick.

Service doesn't work inside my house at all. Going outside sometimes helps but I often lose calls while standing perfectly still. My contract is up in a couple weeks and I cannot wait to switch after 5+ years!

Usually don't have any reception issues here. Sometimes I get voice mails and txt messages after a long delay, but that's probably due to my phone or their network as opposed to signal strength.

Cingular / AT&T is the worst. The reception all over Charlotte is spotty. I have called them several times. I'm just going to switch. I'm even cancelling my home phone with Bellsouth because they are all the same company now.
