Sprint 3 Out of 5 Phone Model: Blackberry	Dorchester Dr. / Waterloo, Truckee, CA 96161	Sun Sep 06, 2009
Sprint 3 Out of 5 Phone Model: Blackberry	Sprint is a good overall but it's worthless on Donner Pass Rd near TTMG building. Reception is also weak near Deerfield drive. Other than that, it's spotty but pretty solid when you've got 2 or more bars.

AT&T 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: blackberry curve	No service in back of house, service only holding phone over my head in one corner of the living room or in the driveway. Traffic and extreme weather make this difficult. Talked to AT&T - they don't seem to care.

AT&T 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: Nokia 6233	Schussing Way / Brookstone, Truckee, CA 96161	Thu Sep 25, 2008
AT&T 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: Nokia 6233	Elevation 6400 ft in Tahoe-Donner, 6500 homes, hilly and forested. People take a walk to find a signal and make a call in summer. hopeless when it is snowing. (AT&T Truckee downtown office is also hopeless, but it has a signal.) Nearby signal on I-80 and Donner Summit is ok if you drive there. Verizon neighbors and other phone models are better off. Most Nokia models have no external antenna port and we are researching for a change.

Verizon 5 Out of 5 Phone Model: Voyager	The Truckee area has been excellent. Dead spots are on the Sherwood lift at Alpine and a few tiny places on 89 between Squaw and Truckee.

AT&T 3 Out of 5	Truckee Area, Truckee, CA 96160	Sun Oct 29, 2006
AT&T 3 Out of 5	Spotty! Pretty good overall in Truckee. Frustrating because of small dead zones on Hwy89 corridor and I-80 towards Reno which results in dropped calls. Also frequently doesn't connect when making calls. Really spotty in Tahoe City.
