I get great service in and around Leesville. Hwy. 28 is spotty, but Verizon is to have towers all down through there by the end of the year. So far I have been very pleased with Verizon. Verizon also works great in and around Alexandria. I always have 3G service and my calls are clear. Much better then AT&T.

From Alexandria, La going down Hwy. 28 W all the way to Leesville, La and even in and around Leesville. NO RECEPTION Clearly Verizon has no towers in this area at all.

Prior to going with AT&T I went to AllTel, which of course had been purchased by Verizon. They have since be rebranded as such. I got the phone and found that right in Alexandria / Pineville reception was just OK. Once I traveled out of this area this is where problems begin. Going to Leesville you can forget have any service whatsoever. Traveling toward Winnfield.. No service. I was able to get service around Colfax, along going to Jena and Jonesville the coverage was spotty at best. Unless you just stay in Alexandria and Pineville, I cannot recommend this service. AT&T and Centennial are much, much better for rural area reception (hands down).

We had AT&T, and could not get any service. Verizon works great here. Even have 3G data service. We love it!

We got Verizon from Shreveport after trying Sprint and Cingular. Both had terrible reception here. Now with Verizon, we never have dropped calls or bad reception. The only problem is our phone numbers are from Shreveport so they're long distance and some features don't work (Get it Now, Mobile Web). Voice mail works great.
