Out here in Eastern NC it's wierd. Alltel's coverage is alot better in the "sticks" then Verizon. The only other carrier out here that is better then Alltel is US Cellular.
My parents have told me the same thing about coverage in the Florida Keys. Verizon coverage was lousy (c'mon how hard is it to cover an island), but their neighbors with Alltel had no problems. Of course, simply switching to AT&T solved the problems of coverage and having to deal with Verizon.
Actually, it's Verizon and the other networks that were roaming off of Alltel. I went to school in Eastern NC and when I first switched to Verizon back in 2003, I ordered my phone over the internet and could not activate it because I was not on Verizon's network while in Greenville, NC. Alltel in my opinion has the best coverage but Verizon's phones (in my opinion) are nicer.
