Very poor reception Hwy. 65 N near Holly Ridge and towards Greenville Miss bridge

SPRINT SUCKSSS. no reception ANYWHERE in arkansas. some around Shreveport LA. but I dont really want to drive 300+ miles from Monticello just to talk or text or surf the web. again SPRINT SUCKSSS

The reception changes daily! what is the deal? Some days I have no problem and some days no signal. Does the cell tower move ?

I live outside the city limits on the south end of Camden near Pace City. You can't use any of my 3 phones anywhere, but on major highways anymore. Even then I drop calls and search for service periodically. I have different models of phones, some Alltel, some Verizon (the GREAT MERGE). I also have a data card that stinks. Even when I go smack into the middle of town now, coverage on all 4 devices is 1-2 bars at best with lots of dropped calls and several instances of "no service". Since the merger, signal strength has fallen off like nobody's business and there is no good alternative. They tried to claim it was because some of my devices were still Alltel. My fiance has all Verizon devices and he has crap for service, too. Then they said I needed to go ahead and buy all new devices to change over to "Verizon" plans. (They won't let you change plans unless you have all Verizon devices, but who'd want to.) They said the poor signal strength had everything to do with my having an Alltel plan. Incidently, this plan is cheaper and offers much more than anything Verizon can come up with. Basically, they want to hook you for 2 more years with about a $1000 per month bill for a couple of hunks of useless metal. (By-the-way, my fiance has a Verizon plan and his service is not any better.) Which brings me to the data card. It used to be awesome when Alltel was still around. Now it may take me an hour to connect and when I do it will disconnect who knows how many times. It takes forever to load something... when it feels like it. I can't say that it's just due to my being out in the sticks because my fiance lives in the middle of town. His data card has been doing the same thing for 2 months. He's only had it for 3. I would not suggest the data card at all since its $60 per month for only 5G of usage. Mine is the same price, but I have unlimited usage on the old Alltel plan. It's way too much for what it is. You might as well have dial-up. If you're going to pay that price, go get some Wild Blue or something. As for the phones, you won't get any better than Verizon, but that's not saying much. I'm sick of being stuck with all these huge bills and useless phones. I'm dropping Verizon all together this month. A lot of people have been switching to StraighTalk out here and doing fine. I hear it's unlimited everything for $45 per month and it's pay as you go. With no contract, I'll try it for a month.

cingular has a tower in prescott and camden.. i am in the middle, reader, with no signal. I have 20 acres and have been trying to get them to put an antenna on my property with no luck... altell has a tower in bluf city which is also bout half way from prescott to camden. my brother has altell and gets great signal here. so I will be switching soon.

POOR or NO (mostly no service) service after Verizon took over Alltel! Where I had service with Alltel I do not have service with Verizon?

Trying to find a carrier that I can get good reception from at this location.

The cell service at Yarborough landing is terrible not only for Alltel customers but most other carriers as well. Tthere are several accidents on the lake in this area and in an emergency, cell service needs to be available. You either have to drive into Ashdown or Hope to receive a decent signal. Alltel needs to place a tower in this proximity to improve the service signal and reduce the churn rate.

I have no reception and freaking out... I just moved to Arkansas and I feel naked without my cell phone T-Mobile sucks so bad. I got a hint of reception when I walked around the block from my house but quickly lost it.

I visit relatives often near Doddridge and I'm basically out of commission to the rest of the world. No reception! More towers please!
