I am constantly in the "Extended Network," which uses Alltels towers. I can send text messages just fine, but I cannot send any picture messages, I have to travel several miles on highway 70 east and west to be able to send pic messages. I have called Verizon and have been told the Verizon towers are 4 miles away, and for optimum coverage you should be within at least 3 miles of the coverage area. I can also make calls within my barracks room although, the reception isn't all that great and I lose calls sometimes but I've heard the same thing from others that have different cell phone carriers. I would go with Alltel if I could get out of my contract. I think they have the better coverage on base.

Step outside of the barracks and get great reception, almost full signal. The instant I step inside my room, it drops signal. I have to stand near my door or window to make calls.

Does Alltel even care? I wonder why they even bother to advertise in the Bath Area. They say they have coverage but I might get 1 bar and most of the time it's an analog signal which fades away.

Reception is the worst. Its bad to have a cell phone that you cant use at home escpecially when all the people in you home have cingular. You use your minutes because you have to use a land line phone. It is very aggrevating.

Rt 33 and Stilley Station Rd. | Rt. 33,
Blounts Creek, NC 27814 |
We are just 2 miles away from the tower (on 33 next to Blounts Creek Firehouse) Reception is usually 3 or 4 bars, and I'm 2 miles away from the tower. Usually service is good. However, we sometimes go through periods of spotty reception, dropped calls, and incoming calls where the phone does not ring, only a message alert well after the call came through. Sometimes there's no reception whatsoever and we can't make or receive calls.

Buy Tracfones. I get 100% reception in Officer Housing and anywhere on Cherry Point Air Station with the Tracfone Motorola v60i. Those of you who live on Cherry Point, know that getting a signal is like next to impossible, but not with Tracfone. You would think a prepaid service would not have good signals! It's amazing.
