Normally have good reception from the AT&T tower at 60 Springfield Road, Springfield, AR from my location. I can see the tower from my house, as it is only around three miles away. This tower normally goes down during thunderstorms and they are slow to get it back up. Today I am still without cell coverage from a storm two nights ago. In the past, this tower has been down as long as five days after a storm. Without this tower, I am in a dead zone. I have to drive 8-10 miles to hit another tower. All in all, I have found my AT&T coverage quite good around the country. Just the local issues with the local tower.

Reception really sucks. Most every call drops. picket fence effect(every other word) on voice calls. Data is good most of the time. Voicemail usually works. I have received a few voicemails 24 hours later or not at all.

I don't recommend Alltel service if you live on Shaw Bridge Rd out towards Conway County. You will have very unreliable service. Analog tower that interferes with digital tower and a lot of dropped calls. Customer service can't do anything to fix the problem and they won't let me out of contract.
