Sprint has towers in the Lincoln and Omaha area, and along the Interstate, but otherwise, its roam, roam, roam.
I understand a bad experience with a carrier, but at least here they are the cheapest carrier with state wide EVDO.

There are places where ANY carrier is better than others. I can name at least a dozen places in MD/DC/VA area that Verizon/Sprint is better than Cingular/Tmobile, and another dozen where the reverse is correct. The most important thing is to find a service that works. Past that, phones are nice to have, but even IF you had the latest device, with the best features, it really doesnt amount to a hill of beans if all you can use the device for is a paper weight. Alltel has made great strides recently, and has poured a great deal of money into marketing and cutting costs. I cannot remember off hand where I saw the article, but there is a possibility of them selling the company to one of the larger CDMA carriers, or, I believe, a group of private investors. As a whole, Alltel does well in the areas where they work.
