I have no service with Sprint. Every time I place a call it says "Welcome to Verizon Wireless, you call can not be completed as dialed. Please hang up and try again." I hate Sprint. My family has Verizon and love it. I will be looking into them.

Sprint in the Ferndale area is 0-1 bar quality. The reception is good in most of LR (except Cantrell Hill) but falls to near nothing west of intersection of Denny Rd.and Kanis. Don't know about Chenal area.

Usually get 1-2 bars in my house, sometimes no reception and call is dropped. I cancelled wireless internet service with Sprint because of no reception. Customer service personnel are nice but unbelievably lengthy and usually cut off the call by accident. I have literally spent hours trying to resolve problems with my plan, erroneous charges etc. Time is money so Sprint is not worth it!

I have used Cingular, Alltel, and Sprint. Cingular is by far the worst. Even if you have full signal, the call quality is still bad. They claim their GSM is so great... well it's the worst technology... Most people don't know, but GSM is TDMA, just with higher data speeds. Always go with a CDMA carrier, CDMA offers the best call quality, and the signal travels further. Alltel reception is great in Arkansas, but their phone selection isn't. Sprint seems to offer the best phones, and has great reception all over the Little Rock metro area. Sprint also offers free roaming, so anytime you are in the woods with no Sprint coverage, you can roam off of the Alltel towers :-) With the new EVDO high speed broadband internet Sprint has, that just puts the icing on the cake. You can watch tv, listen to sirius satellite radio, and surf the web on your phone at broadband speeds. I highly recommend Sprint to anyone that is searching for an all around great carrier.

Excellent Sprint PCS coverage in parts of the village; other parts not so great. Better than Cingular by far. Get the roaming plan if you use Sprint in a rural state like Arkansas. It only costs $5 extra and allows for unlimited roaming.

Excellent coverage here. Best coverage in Little Rock. Beats Cinguar hands-down. Call quality is better on Sprint's 1900 MHz network, and EV-DO supports up to 1 megabit of data bandwidth compared to 144k with EDGE (the GSM standard for data).

My house is about five blocks NW of this busy intersection in a highly populated area, and reception indoors or outdoors is very poor on Spring, with many dropped calls.

The entire eastern quadrant of the Heights bounded by Beechwood / CCLR / Van Buren has zero reception with Sprint. It has gotten much worse since 2004. Beware if you live here and have any plans to use it from home. Calls will drop off at middle of Cantrell Hill until you get past Kavanaugh, and virtually zero reception northwest of that line.

Sprint PCS has perfect reception around the West Little Rock area. I have been using Sprint PCS for about 5 years without a problem. I have had good luck with their phones as well. My parents and most of my friends use Sprint PCS and have had no problems at all either. Highly recommended!
