Funny how alltell actually leases the towers from Sprint and Verizon. And bear in mind they still cannot provide anything resembling quality service in any of the major cellular markets. LOL'n at CDMA.

That's funny, considering the latest Consumer Reports survey said different. Also, Alltel leases their towers to the other networks in the areas where they have none. Alltel covers the most land in the US.

Look how empty the Sprint parking lot is. They don't seem to be doing so well.

@milofonbil they outsorced all the jobs 2 the phillipinse and india so thtas prob why

Without the dorks, this sucks. Time for Chad to retire and for Alltel to start with a fresh new campaign.

@Spyco GSM (and soon LTE) is the global standard. I am aware of this.

I am not basing the performance based off AT&T's inability to invest in infrastructure.

I've looked at the carrier maps for the United Kingdom, for example, no carrier seems to blanket the UK in 3G quite like Verizon does in the US. Not that it matters much, cause here in most of the Americas, we can't even seem to get WCDMA/HSPA right for that matter, with how we decided to be different and use different wavelengths :/

@BarricadeSlade And yet Europe has managed to do it for this long. Under WCDMA, the European cellular market has flourished. In Canada, people recognized this and the two remaining CDMA operators have deployed a 3G GSM network. Hong Kong is near CDMA-free. In fact, the top 15 mobile networks on Earth are GSM. You can't base the performance of GSM based on AT&T's inability to invest in infrastructure.

And to top it off, Verizon will soon be GSM. Still true 1 year later - no GSM = USA left behind

@Spyco 1 year later, EVDO CDMA BLANKETS the country.

Who uses dumbphones???? LMFAO dumbphones are for poor poor poor people.

Android phones obviously run the same thing. But Android rocks!

You cannot get Verizon's coverage with GSM! You just can't!

[DarkPrince080]

It really depends on were your at for either networks and witch one is readily available to you they are both about the same performance wise yea GSM is really more convenient than CDMA but if your not going too be doing too much international traveling then really CDMA is just fine, like i said it is all preference and availability.

[Spyco]

It doesn't matter what country I'm from or which company I use. Fact: I can buy any GSM phone, unlock it if I have to, and then I can be on ANY GSM network in ANY country. CDMA fails because of the lack of this feature. And also, American carriers have some REALLY ugly interfaces for their phones.

[xtremehairman]

all mobile phone companies do that....what country are you from??  im sure your mobile company is locking your phone somehow

[Spyco]

2 years later, CDMA is STILL crap. Wireless providers continue to place a single dumbphone OS on the majority of phones and cripple features they don't like. 99% of all CDMA carriers are jumping ship going to LTE. But of course not Sprint, cause if there wasn't a choice to be retarded and redundant, their wouldn't be an america

[xtremehairman]

i know you posted this two years ago but...cdma in america is really reliable and fast now....more available here too its true 3g
