Carrier with best Cell Phone Service Coverage for South Walton?

[scooterbug44]

alltell does not work in seaside....from 395 to watercolor...

It used to work in Seaside, but not Bud & Alley's - drove me nuts! And it cuts out again in Grayton too!

Thank you for all of your input! I decided to go ahead with t-mobile after all. It does depend on the phone, and hopefully my new one will do fairly well! Sounds like Alltel is a dud!!!!

I had Nextel Blackberry for years and it worked great all over the area. Switched to Alltel Blackberry and I have to stand outside to talk on the phone!...We live in Seagrove Bch.

Sprint got better when they bought Nextel and could use the towers. The other thing to remember about your cell phone is to turn if off and then back on once a day. It's like a mini computer and needs the occassional reboot.

i heard that verizon bought alltel recently?

Nextel, works in all of Walton County except for 5 miles east of Freeport and, but there is nothing out there anyway, it comes back around Tri Village. Good success.

Does not work on the south side of Juniper Lake. Eucheeanna Valley, most buildings with metal roofs or exteriors more than a few miles from town, north 83 until you get almost to Gaskin......and the list goes on.

we've enjoyed excellent service with Alltel for quite a few years. there is a very small spot on 30A in seaside where reception is iffy, but other than that, reception is perfect here and anywhere we travel... .

yes, old news. I guess verizon will benefit by alltel's coverage, but that could take a while.. meanwhile, verizon users in our area aren't getting anything out of it except pretty poor service, imo. if you can't use your phone in your home, then its pretty poor.

I have Verizon and it has pretty good service on most of 30-A, with the exception of inside my house!

Same here...when in Magnolia Cottages the last street has very poor usage! I have held myself in some awkward positions trying to use my phone in that cottage.And some times depending where you stand in the neighborhood it could be roaming....otherwise works everywhere else
