I'm sure it improved since the merger, as they acquired more cell towers, but I think that Alltel is superior when talking about complete coverage of SoWal and the areas to the north, although it, too, has holes.
I've had my iPhone for months and LOVE it! The service is great through AT&T. the only area where I have ever experienced a problem with service is in Grayton Beach, and to be honest, the last time I was down there my phone worked great.
It works all over South Walton, Destin and PC.
Give it a try - you'll love it. I swear, I never thought a phone would change my life!

I have had Cingular for years now. I think that the service has gotten worse since the merger. I daily get people who tell me;
~that my phone goes straight to voice mail
~they get a message stating that this number is no longer in service
~message stating that all circuits are busy
I tried to call my cousin 4 mornings in a row and could not get her phone to ring (at&t) until around noon
I called at&t and they told me that they are trying to get the kinks worked out from the merger
I, along with several other at&t customers, am looking at changing providers. I just need one that works well in Inlet Beach....
SJoe, where does Alltell have holes?? I heard only around Watercolor

Alltel has spots of holes in several locations, but they are not too large. However, if one of the holes is in your house, that doesn't do much good. Near those holes, on overcast days, signal strength also decreases.
I tried a touch screen phone several months ago and hated it, primarily due to not being able to feel the buttons. I don't want to have to look at the buttons to press them, and then check the numbers I input on the screen. Try doing that and something else at the same time. With so many people doing that as they are driving down the road, I think we've only begun to see an increase in accidents due to cell phone usage. I'll stick to the button and voice activated phone.

My iPhone is synced in my automobile making it handsfree . Voice recognition, dontchaknow. Folks should pull over or off the road to dial their cell phones. I agree there have been many accidents due to using phones in cars. Saw a TV show once where drivers were being tested. Some drivers were sleep-deprived. Some were under the influence. Some were rested and sober while driving using cell phones. The cell phone users made the most mistakes. A real eye-opener.
