Alltel
I travel frequently inside Oklahoma and Alltel sucks. It is nowhere nearly as good as the old AT&T TDMA service back in the day. I get dropped calls or calls so static filled you can't hear the person you're speaking with. Before you say it's the phone, I have tried the Motorola V710, terrible, the Nokia CDMA candy bar style phone they no longer offer, it was an improvement at the expense of battery life over the V710. The Nokia 6255i sucks as well. Get some new phones Alltel. I do use NMO mount external antennas and 3 watt repeaters and direct connect cellular amplifiers in my vehicles as well, but nothing will help this service. I don't know where to look, I've tried t-mobile, Sprint, US Cellular, Cingular, and now Alltel, none of them are very reliable outside major metropolitan areas, and some of them aren't inside metro areas. Bring back the old AT&T!

Alltel is a breath of fresh air to the Oklahoma City market. After the confusion fueled by the ATTWS / Cingular merger, it is about time for a solid company to come in and offer relief to a wireless customer base that has so long been ignored. I highly recommend Alltel wireless. you may have not heard of them, but they've been around a long time. Check there website and tell your boss, it's time to switch.

Hate it! I get "No signal" or "Signal faded" on almost every single call, even outside. I would go back to T-Mobile, even though they're more expensive because the reception is sooo much better. Hate Sprint!

When AT&T in Oklahoma City was purchased by Alltel, my cell phone service went to crap. However, after I signed-up with Alltel and switched to the CDMA phone my service has been superb. I have found crystal clear communication with the Alltel service, even in remote areas of Oklahoma where I had trouble with AT&T in the past.

More Bars does not mean more signal! They can calibrate the signal meter to show more bars with less signal. I get 4 bars and lousy service. I use a Nextel phone at the intersection 63rd and Macarthur in Warr Acres OK. I like Nextel because all my incoming calls are free. If the incoming calls were not free I would drop this cell phone, everyone at work would drop theirs too.

It sounds to me that the guy who was complaining about Alltel quoting him one price then charging him another just isn't smart enough to read his contract and / or bill. You need to read the fine print before you sign anything. I have worked for a cell phone company for almost 10 years and I assure you that cell phone companies do not put one thing on the contract then charge you another. If we did that we would all be out of business. If you write a letter to the BBB or the FCC and say something so silly you will be laughed at. By the way, you will not get a supervisor to call you back because I can tell you we don't have time for uneducated and unfounded complaints. We only deal with legitimate issues.

I wanted to use TMobile inside our plant. I told TMobile what the use of the phone would be. They assured me their service would work. I had no service at all except in the parking lot. I cancelled the service after 4 hours. They tried to bill me $85.00. Now we are down to $9.00 for the calls I made from the parking lot. I told them I wouldn't pay 9 cents for their worthless system. They said they were going to turn the $9 over to a collection agency. After I stopped laughing I said, "Bring it on."

I have no problem with the reception. My issue is being told I would be charged one price and then getting the bill and being charged a higher price. Now to cancel my service it is going to cost $350 (2 phones). I have been trying to speak to a supervisor with Alltel for 3 1 / 2 weeks now and no one can tell me who the manager is much less talk to that person. I am promised everytime that a supervisor will call me back the next day and I am yet to receive a call. I was an AT&T customer for 8 years before being sold to Alltel. I will inform every person I know NOT to get service with Alltel as well as right a letter to the Better Business Bureau regarding their selling practices and customer service issues.

I've had more dropped calls in the last weeks than 15 or 20 years ago with a brick or the reception is so bad you cannot carry on a conversation. ATT / Cingular / Alltel FCC directed merger is a milestone of bad news for consumer. As a business owner, this is a catastrophe. I need an alternate company without early contract cancel penalty and am filing a complaint with the AGs office.

Noticed that nobody has posted about Sprint in Oklahoma. I've been on Sprint ever since SW Bell / SBC switched to Cingular and their customer service drove me away. Sprint reception is the best I've HEARD around NW OKC, and I have family and friends on AT&T, Cingular, T-Mobile, and US Cellular. I may not always have 5 bars, but I have dropped maybe 2 calls in the last 3+ years and calls are ALWAYS crystal clear from my end (I have noticed ALOT of static and interference from Cingular customers). Oh, and that customer service problem with Cingular makes me also want to note that Sprint Customer Service has always been amazing for me.
