So i have used alot of different carriers and in Michigan, Nextel, Alltel, Verizon, AT&T. Verizon, Alltel, and AT&T are the best in my experience.

That being said I signed up with Verizon again coming from Alltel. I got a deal to upgrade my 2 lines early with Verizon. Why not I am going to be Verizon soon enough right? I had them 3 or 4 years ago and expected nothing close to my calling issues especially with a BB Curve.

I have noticed an UNBELIEVABLE number of dropped calls. I was on US 131 a major highway between Grand Rapids (2nd largest city) and Traverse city. Now Alltel had great coverage here as did Verizon.

I have a buddy who works on the east side of the state and has issues on I-75 for a 15-20 mile stretch as well.

It's because both Alltel and Verizon overlap. Verizon is in the process of fixing everything. The Coverage map is never really right. The whole white at the bottom of the state is still Verizon(alltel) coverage. What's the matter is that your phone is switching form a Alltel tower to a Verizon tower back and forth. Verizon is trying to bring the two networks together so that won't happen. When they are done (which won't be much longer) your phone will switch from tower to tower (alltel to verizon, verizon to alltel).

Here in Northwest AL. When on highway 72 going from AL to MS or MS to AL, your call will drop because you are going from Alltel to Verizon or Verizon to Alltel.
