Alltel

I have had some down times out is this area. but for the most part Alltel is the one to go with in Western Kansas. Good Hunting for a wireless service that is any good. Seem to me that they all are raising there prices and getting less service from them. My two cents.

One to zero bars in the neighborhoods directly northwest of 13th N and St. Paul to 19th N and West St.

Coverage is usually around 1-2 bars. I have never had a dropped call, but then again I frequently get voicemails when the phone never rings.

Can get 1 bar in 2 locations in my house. Drop calls about every 15 seconds for blocks around my house. I drop calls at 13th and Broadway (practically the center of town) and on Rock Rd.(hardly rural). I am so glad my contract with Sprint is up in 2 months.

T-Mobile reception is pretty good in Wichita. In some places, AT&T is better, but those are few and far between. Dropped calls don't happen. Data network is still 2G here, thus a little slow, but several models are WiFi-enabled. Also, many of those models are capable of placing calls / texts / etc. over the WiFi, so if you can't reach a tower, you're fine as long as you can reach the Internet. Probably the best or next to best carrier in Wichita. Watch for their free phones, though. Free phones are free for a reason.

I had to walk outside my work place to the parking lot to get a signal; inside my connection was completely dead. I couldn't even check messages. All the while Verizon users and Alltell, T-Mobile users were inside with no problems. I am going to cancel my plan and pay the penalty.

I've had AT&T (Cingular) in many parts of the nation. I've always had great reception. Wichita has been another story. I consistently have dropped calls. It doesn't work near my work near McConnell. I checked, and I have a cell tower less than half a mile away from my house, yet the signal is below average upstairs and spotty at best in the basement. What gives? AT&T needs to clean up their act, or they're going to lose a lot of customers.

I have had T-Mobile for a couple of years now, and it is pretty good. Their plans are cheap, customer service is usually very helpful and MOST of the time I do not have a problem with reception. Lately I have had some problems receiving calls and messages, but my phone is several years old and has been dropped 5 too many times. Overall, T-Mobile is pretty good.

Poor Reception. Frequent dropped calls. The phone works sometimes in the house and not at all in the basement. I have to forward calls to my landline when I am at home.
