Here is a sad but funny---and true comment. We lived just outside DeRidder, on the South side, and had somewhat fair reception in town only dropping 3 calls to cross town. The service at our house was REALLY bad and the only way to make or receive a call was to kneel down at a North facing window with the phone DIRECTLY in the middle at the bottom of the window. ONE------sixteenth of an inch to the right or left and the phone would not work or a call would be dropped. After MANY, MANY, MANY, calls to Sprint with complaints, going to Sprint Service Centers to have the phones checked, and getting new phones, I was informed that my house was not really in the Sprint calling area. This is after being a Sprint customer for years. I was informed that Sprint was planning to build a tower near. NEAR------ the closest SPRINT tower to Deridder or Leesville is not where a person of sound mind would think it would be---in one of the two towns. I have just moved to Pitkin, La. and of course other phones work but not Sprint. So--- Now I pay for a service and I have to leave the house to use it.
