As with all celular service, your location means everything. Verizon (and formerly Altel) have the best overall service around the entire lake area. There are some areas I don't do well.
Dropped my land line a few years ago and have not had any problems. I've used 911 several times. Works fine. Though I mention I am calling Tallapoosa whe I get the sherrif's office just to be sure have not bounced out to another tower in another 911 district.
Not surprised about ATT. I considered them after Verizon took over Altel. People in Opelika told me to forget it for now, ATT does not have good service at Lake Martin. They were supposed to put up one tower over here last year, haven't heard they have or have not.
Might add, type of phone seems to make a difference. We have HTC smartphones. That phone service is better than regular cell phones our friends have standing right next to us as we've experimented.
