Seldom have I had an issue with call quality in town. I've had Cingular / AT&T for years and their service has always been good in town. Going to or from some of the smaller cities in the area is not as good though, such as going to or from Elkins / Lincoln etc.

I have had no problems with Alltel when it comes to reception. They're not very nice when it comes to overcharging me for phone calls I didn't make, but the reception is perfect, even when I'm in Los Angeles or at home. the coverage inside the physics department at the U of A or at the HPER is a little shady and I often lose reception, but overall, I like it

As long as I use a Motorola phone I never have a droped call useing alltel. I have used the other companys and I have all kinds of probs. With Alltel I don't.

I live in Fayetteville and work in Bentonville and I have been very pleased with my switch from Verizon / Alltel to AT&T several months back. My girlfriend and I (she has a Samsung) always seem to have a great signal traveling around Fayetteville, up I-540, etc. It is imperative that I have cell service at all times for work, and I'm comfortable camping at Beaver Lake with AT&T's service, which has been very reliable up there (including data use). The only place where I've had issues is where I work, in one of the larger buildings in downtown Bentonville. I have a dropped call, perhaps once or twice a month, while making calls from there and data service is considerably slower. At home here in Fayetteville, the service is perfect. This, coupled with Verizon's pathetic customer service, is why we're glad we switched.

Used to have Alltel and switched to Verizon when they were bought out, have almost perfect reception everywhere in the Fayetteville and surrounding area's, althoughwhen you get out to extremely Western Arkansas, mostly out past Lincoln, service is a little sketchy, but I have fairly good reception a lot of places my friends with other providers don't have any.

Get great reception pretty much anywhere in town, its just that for whatever reason I have been in roam for the past four weeks. Since then, I can neither send or receive phone calls. I have to go onto campus to be able check my voicemail.

good while I am out when indoors I get 1 bar of reception

Several instances where calls take too long to connect and, even though the timer is running and the phone displays "connected" neither I nor the person on the other line can hear anything. One representative at the AT&T store claims problems are because the contractor installing the 3G network messed up and the data and voice frequencies are interfering with each other. The problem is being worked on. Since I don't know exactly if that is how things work, I cannot comment on it. None of my [several] calls to 611 ever told me that.

I often miss calls and get notification after the fact. I also am not always notified of new voicemail. The customer service is truly awful and their lack of concern is beyond reproach.

It works good in most places in Northwest Arkansas and beyond. But specific buildings seem to affect my reception, the HPER building and All Star Sports Arena in particular. And it does drop a call now and then.
