neighborhood poll

Published Jul. 17, 2008

Ok, fellow residents of Governor's Village, who is your cell phone provider? Do you get  really good coverage, strong signal, minimal dropped called, etc inside your homes, or just out in the neighborhood? I'm up to "here" w/my current provider and I am really interested to know if anyone has a positive experience w/a provider before I try to switch.

Thanks :-)

I think you are right about alltel. We have some friends who visit and they seem to be able to use their phones freely. I should have tried them before verizon. You are probably right about the roaming issue as well but at least for the ancient cingular/att plan I have, I really have to go somewhere far away to get socked w/roaming fees so I haven't found that to be a problem.

kbyrd, I was going to say, at least where I live, the only people who have service when they visit have Alltell. I think the problem is I live close to 2 different county lines and the greedy bassturds don't want to miss a penny in roaming charges.

I hear that. I haven't been under contract in ages but I just can't find anyone to replace them. I haven't tried alltel yet, so maybe I will eventually.

Cingular/AT&T whatever, I have to go outside and stand on my diving board or go up stairs in the far corner of the bonus room to get a signal at my house. It stinks I can't wait for the contract to run out.

I've seen ads over the past few months for providers (can't name them though...) that allow for a 24 hour test run before you sign a contract. Probably the best approach for your specific house.

Southerlady, thanks. I'm in the Chapel Hill area. :-)

I currently use att and I tried verizon. I get equally bad signal inside w/both but great att coverage anywhere else I go really. I spoke w/someone at ATT and they say oh, sorry. Its a med/low coverage area and no new towers are planned. I mean, I do not expect them to build a cell tower just for me, however, I am not the only person out there so you would think someone would want to fix the issue eventually. ha!

Oh... lol.. I thought by Governor's Village you meant Raleigh.

OoOps

I am not in the Govenor's village, but I have US Cellular.

Sprint/Nextel

In case you haven't noticed.. this is Nextel country

Service is fine in Raleigh. Although I live in the sticks so at home service is in/out.
