I won't touch this one. Audiovox 8910 is a POS on Verizon Wireless too, from what I'm told. Since Alltel doesn't serve Indiana, I can't give a recommendation on a good phone, but LG tends to be crappy on VZW. I've had good luck with Kyocera phones reception wise. Too bad Alltel doesn't sell a larger Samsung selection of phones, or I would recommend Samsung. But Alltel from my experience roaming on their network in SW Michigan is spotty. I always had dropped calls along I-94 going through Benton Harbor and Fair Haven to name a couple of places. At the state line on the Michigan side, Al...

i too live outside of an Alltel area, and i compeltely agree with you that on Verizon, LG's and Audiovox's arent that good with reception, and SAmasungs arent much better than the two. I would reccoment keyocera, or Motorola they are AWESOME when it comes to signal strength1!

I have the Samsung a650 and it works great reception wise. My experience with Motorola phones have not been good. I got lots of dropped calls when the bars went down to 3. My brother has a Motorola and is also complaining about it. He has the V265 and has the same reception problems he had when he had the LG VX4400. When the Samsung a650 was still widely available, he wished he had taken my advice and bought it instead of listening to someone who has Cingular and has a Motorola. When i owned the Motorola, I had the 120c & V60. But even with my Verizon Samsung phone, I still have problems with reception in SW Michigan, but I might not roam as much on Alltel as the licenses Verizon acquired from Leap Wireless (parent company of Cricket)...
