I LOVED Altell.....but I think since they have sold out to Verizon it is horrible.....dead zones all over the place, hate the voicemail, etc.....Not to mention they don't have Iphone so if you want an Iphone which I suggest go with ATT
Cru I honestly don't have dead zones or dropped calls. I live west of town, go to my brothers between Belton and Academy, and make the trek to and from Rogers all the time.
We live in Hewitt and hubby and the kids had Cingular for seriously 10 years and then they merged with AT&T....still remain best provider ever! No complaints at all.
We had Altell and it was horrible service and lots of dropped calls. In laws live in Fredericksburg and complain about Verizon but they are elderly and could be they don't know what they are doing.....I'm just sayin!
I had Verizon when I lived there. Never had a problem anywhere in Temple.
And if your reason for not wanting Verizon is because they don't have the iphone....check out the Motorola Droid. It at least matches or beats the iPhone. As soon as my "new every two" comes available, I'm getting the Droid.
