ive always heard good things abotu verizon as well.. thats all been outta that area though.. cingular is supposed to be expanding into that area soon.. thats what i heard before i left but we all know how that goes.. i have cingular down here and i love it.. they have had some down time here recently but they have it fixed. the reason being they were upping the signal strenght on a tower and had to drop it before they could.. so its all good..

I don't understand why all the complaining about Alltel. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
I've had that service for SEVERAL years and I am completely satisfied. I am usually in several states every week and there is seldom a time when I can't use my phone. And I never have roaming charges. I talk to my family as much as I want and never worry about going over my minutes. Alltel has worked GREAT for me.

I have had Verizon since way back in the day when it was stil GTE. I love it. The service is good, and if there are any problems or issues customer service is great.

Indian_Dad had Alltel for one year and we could not wait for that contract to end.

In the Wise Co. area Verizon is prolly the best provider IMO. Also i wouldnt look for Cingular anytime soon over there.

Only problem I have with Alltel is that there is no use to even have a cell phone if you live in Appy. It's a black hole of signal loss up there.

I'll tell you why...
First off, would love to have roll over minutes...that would nice since it does seem like when you use minutes, you use them in batches.

Second, customer care. I took my phone up last week, after waiting the 2 hours to finally get to talk to someone. I had a trainee, not a problem there, I know that happens. I explained what happened (my phone, the number 6, the right directional arrow and the green send button will not work). That took awhile, then of course they checked and to their shock it seemed, those buttons didn't work. My phone is insured and still under warranty both. They fill out the information...and then again, and then again because there was some problems getting things in the system and in the right order, but I'm actually being calm. I know it's a trainee and even with the mad rush and waiting so long, hey I'm not entirely that hateful. I finally help to try to make sure the information is put in right, get my papers and told it will be 2, maybe 3 days till I get my phone. That was Saturday. I know Monday is a holiday. I see Wednesday, maybe Thursday at worst...well here it is the next weekend and no phone. I emailed their support, just to try to find out if its been sent, get me a tracking number, something and so far, I haven't gotten a response. Now I know in the past, if your phone was covered, you would get a loaner phone till yours was either repaired or the replacement came in, I got nothing. I wonder if my bill will reflect a reduction of the time that I couldn't use a phone....I'm guessing no.
