Cannot talk inside of building and go outside you may get 2 bars. Calls are constantly drop inside and outside. Very poor reception in this area. It looks like AT&T is using bare minium service for this part of town.

I constantlyhave missed calls and dropped calls. I have a special needs child and can't get in touch with me. I am so tired of this. I can't talk to anyone in my house at all I have to stand outside but then I drop the calls. FRUSTRATING!

At&t's network in Shreveport / Bossier is bipolar. Their 3G service is inconsistent at best, and is not as well deployed as their 2G EDGE network. I have no trouble with dropped calls or data connections using a 2G Blackberry 8520, but i've tried several 3G phones in this area, and none of them exhibit optimal 3G performance. It seems that for every 3-4 EDGE towers in the area there are only 1-2 3G towers available; as their 3G network seems quite underdeveloped here. If your not using a 2G phone or don't have a phone that allows you to manually select 2-3G, i'd stay away from AT&T in this area.

Service Throughout Shreveport is very iffy. Many times I will have 2-3 bars in an empty lot, and move over and have no service.

Sprint is terrible out here. Inside my house I get no bars. Have to go outside to be able to make a phone call. Data? Forget it, even outside. How can they advertise 4G phones and network when phones don't work inside the city? I've been putting up with this for over 5 years on my business cell phone.

Still no 3G service in Shreveport, plus GPS on phone can never figure out where I am. It randomly places me in other cities around the country whenever I try to check in using GPS-enabled apps.

In my house I have to stand in front of the window to get a signal and going outside doesn't even give me full bars. Sprint and Verizon phones have full reception at my place and ATT recommended I by an amplifying tower from them for nearly $200, but I should not have to since I live in town.

Have had Sprint 10 yrs, just cant beat the price but coverage in town is spotty. Also Sprint is the only carrier in town that still does not have 3G (EVDO) service which makes a smart phone frustrating to use. Closest Sprint 3G gets is the Tx / LA border (back to 2g soon as you get in LA) or Alexandria,LA. The other downside is that if you get the new Andriod phones out that are 4G (HTC EVO and Samsung Epic) you must also add an extra 10 dollar data package on top of your everything plan that already includes a data package. They say this $10 is not for 4G but for unlimited data (current data has a 5gb limit) and to give you access to 4g should you visit a Big city that has it (Houston / Dallas both have Sprint 4G). I personally am not welling to pay 10 more on my everything plan when theres not even 3G in town.

I have been using Nextel (Boost iDEN) for several months now and the service is pretty good. Reception is generally strong all over the metro area, though as with any carrier, there's a soft spot here and there. Additionally, I have not experienced any messaging delays that plague Nextel in several other areas. *If you are within Nextel's coverage area* in the region, it is a good (albeit lesser known) option for cellular service.

I have 1 bar at best in my house, my Fiance's palm pre goes in to Roaming while at home. Sprint had to send us a Airave, to help with service. When it works it gives us almost full bars. Once we drive 200 feet from the house back to crap service. Cant wait till my plan is up!

I love Verizon! The service is great and works in more ares then my old AT&T and Sprint phones would. I will never leave Verizon. I haven't had it long and I am already amazed how good the service is. I get 3G in the most rural places you would think wouldn't have service.

Was with Sprint and had the Palm Pre, but had no 3G as someone said. Switch to Verizon because they now offer the Palm Pre Plus. I like the Pre Plus more then my Sprint Pre. I love that it has more RAM, more memory, and the mobile hot spot! It's much much faster, and my data is fast!

Brand new - company phone - office in NV; TMobile said "excellent coverage" - 3 days into the new phone and absolutely NO SERVICE no matter inside or outside the house. I must now switch to a new carrier for business; and we now have a phone no one can use.

We had AT&T until yesterday. The other day when the tornados came thru, I could NOT use my phone. Call failed is all I got. I switched my 3 lines to Verizon and the service is great. It sounds much better then AT&T did too.
