Excellent GSM coverage due to SBA tower beside Interstate. Sprint has a tower here also.

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.

Cingular has better reception in my area than the other carriers I have tried which includes Altel, Sprint and AT&T.

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!

Experience low QoS in this area with Cingular. At about Fair Park Blvd. I dropped a call yesterday, though usually it just breaks up and I have to tell the person on the other end to 'hang on' a bit. Without a PDA phone I doubt you'd have a dropped call; just low signal strength and QoS.

When heading North on I-430 over the river bridge, Cingular's network sometimes drops my call. There is always degredation of service. This problem does not present itself in a noticeable fashion when heading South on the same bridge.
