ajohunter Report post Posted January 11, 2008 I have been with Alltel for 10 years and I get signal all the way from Ajo to 36B, 8, 10 7W to Baltimore Maryland, Casper Wyoming, Anchorage and Fairbanks Alaska and even the Hawaiian Islands! Had a few friends change from their carriers just for that reason. I always have service! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
257wby Report post Posted January 11, 2008 I've been with Verizon for a few years now and the only place I've had a problem is around Happy Jack (5b south) up toward Mormon Lake. My dad has at&t, and has the same problem. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinnie B Report post Posted January 12, 2008 I have a magnetic antenna for both of my trucks and just got another one to keep in my pack or Quad Pick them up at radio shack for about $40.00 They make a big diff. Mike The external antennas are great. I have had one for awhile and they really help the reception, I can get service all the way from Phoenix to Payson with only 2 dead zones. Now for the bad, I just got a new phone and looked for the external port on it and guess what, they are doing away with the external antenna ports on the new phones. They now make a wireless amp you can buy (250 bucks) that runs either 12v or 120v. Then anyone in the vehicle or house could get reception. I am sure that would help but for 250 bucks I may keep my old phone, it still works pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soazarcher Report post Posted February 6, 2008 Verizon all the way....good service in the 34's,35's and 36. Decent on the strip, good in the white mtns. I do have trouble near (not in) Flagstaff. I've tried to buy the antenna set up at radioshack, but the girl in the nogales store thinks i'm crazy. Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stanley Report post Posted February 6, 2008 Verizon for sure!!!! I had Verizon for 5+ years but switched to Cingular/ATT because of the international roaming (I have to travel the globe for work.....). My new service might be good for Asia, but I DEFINITELY noticed degradation in local service from when I had Verizon. Hopefully someday Verizon will get their Asia coverage figured-out so I can switch back! S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
