My Verizon service is great. Remember you need to do *228 option 2 to get any new updates from towers or you can be left with no service. If ti still doesn't help, call tech support and they will send a code to your phone which will help. You can only call, you cant go to the store to get it.

Always perfect reception on my phone in the Hights area. Very very few dropped calls around town. Best service in AR. Text messaging overseas not so good though...

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).

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!

Near-perfect reception all over the Little Rock metro area, but *incredibly* bad dropped calls to the point that my service is unusable. AT&T made some change about a month ago (mid-to-late July, 2004) that have turned both of my NEC 525 phones into basically paper-weights due to the unbelievable frequency of dropped calls (9 out of 10 calls last between 15 seconds to 2 minutes before being dropped) even though they have near-perfect reception 99.9% of the time. I have friends on AT&T who have other model phones and have no problems, so it may be some small incompatability that they introduced recently that only affects the NEC phones. Beats me, and AT&T has been no help at all. Rating: Reception - 10/10, Reliability - 1/10.

AT&T has good coverage in Little Rock. There is one location in NLR, where a call always drops when passing through, with that being the transition from I-40 to 67 / 167 to Jacksonville. Every phone I've owned while an AT&T customer has dropped the call when passing through that area.

AT&T for the most part work well in Little Rock. There is one spot that a call always drop when traveling through, and that is the translation from I-40 to 67 / 167 to Jacksonville. Love my iPhone 4, highly recommend it.

At least Alltel can tell me that they don't have a perfect signal where I live. AT&T and Verizon both show excellent coverage, when you can't even make a call. Alltel is so much better, I really hope the Verizon deal does not go through.

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!
