Service was good until July 2011, when NO SERVICE started appearing daily; now it's happening hourly as of August 2011. Switched phone from 3G to 2G and so far (2 hours later) it is working. We shall see...

Prior to June 2009 marginal service. Since then, new Parks and Recreation center being built to the west and coverage is now BAD to non existent.

LG gets reception when no other phone can. I'm a power lineman and work all over Arizona. I love making bets with people signed with other cell carriers on reception. I was a first responder cell communication with 911 at a car rollover. The only other person that could make a call was on Verizon with an LG phone. There were over 100 people at the area. It backed up traffic for 4 hours. The Air-evac helecopter used the GPS signal from my phone to find the site. My phone saved a life.

No "cells" within 20 miles?

Reception is week at best. My phone will show that I have 4 bars and then I'll enter a number only to have it drop to 0 and say digital service not available. That's at home, elsewhere I usually have 2 bars of signal, but drop calls often. On 89A from Cottonwood to Sedona sometimes I won't drop a call, sometimes I can't keep a call. On the way back from Sedona, I'll drop 10 calls. Go with Verizon, if you plan on getting a phone in the area. I can't wait unill my contract with Sprint expires 02/05.
