I've got T-Mobile and I get practically no reception at my apt and neither does Sprint, which my bf has. I lose 99% of my data services about 75% of the time and SOMETIMES I can manage to get an email or use the web browser, but not always. It's ridiculous since I am literally in the middle of Boise and I have no idea how to find out if other carriers will be better before spending the money on a phone or service plan. : /

I can't seem to get reception in the middle of Boise. Blows my mind.

i get no reception to 1 bar at home but constantly dropping calls all over town, even in the center of town... customer service sucks and is deceiving, will upgrade a plan by phone but when internet didnt work on my phone they wouldnt down grade and said I had to go to store to down grade and they never open until 10am so almost impossible to get to the store during work week

Overall Verizon has greatly improved from a year ago. Service is good and get fast 3g as well. Formerlly a ATT customer, I can say that VZW beats them hands down everywhere I go, and in Boise as well.

Reception is pretty good except outlying areas like north Eagle. I have been somewhat satisfied with T-Mobile and the plans pricing is great but my phone(or carrier) has the most annoying habit of not vibrating when I get a call and not notifying me for 15 minutes after. Makes me want to switch carriers but nothing else seems like a better value. Very few dropped calls, "network busy" error comes up every 1 / 25 calls or so

My reception with Qwest is great! I do not have any dropped calls and usually I have at least 4 or 5 bars. I have great reception in and out of the city and surrounding areas. It sucks rocks that Qwest is switching to Verizon and their "customer offers" for migration only offers discountinued phones that are shabby at best. I am going to wait until my service is shut off before I choose another provider.

A year ago the Verizon rep told me they would have cell service in Riggins in 5 months. This year they told me the same thing. My old analog phone used to work there, but I think Verizon has ceased all analog transmission. No Verizon phone service works in Riggins. My son has ATT and he can get out with it in Riggins!

Reception is now good. 2 years ago we experienced dropped calls but that has improved a lot.

I never really had a problem with service. Maybe a few drop calls cuz sometimes my phone switches towers. But thats maybe once every 3 months... I love the service that AT&T provides. Out does everything I know

Ever since SPRINT took over the reception has become shoddy and I can not even use my phone until I am 2 blocks away from home, I feel sorry for anyone on a Sprint network their service is very poor and their customer service is non existant... ..what to the customer is always right... . anyway I am looking for new service since I no longer have service when I need it the most (in my home.)

I haven't had many problems with reception from home, but when I start moving around on the Bench area of town, reception can be tricky. Maybe it's all the beautiful, old trees!

Verizon is horrible wherever I go. Inside or outside, I rarely have more than 1 or 2 bars. If I am even able to make a call, it is frequently dropped. I live in the middle of town and would expect to have at least decent service... .not at all the case.

Unfortunately I happen to be in one of the elusive black holes of Boise. As I drive out of my neighborhood I can watch the bars increase by blocks. One block out 2 bars, 3-4 block and I am at full bars. Still drops some calls while at home so we haven't been able to get rid of home phone yet. Qwest reception was better but service sucked... oh well, what else can you do. Samsung phone works MUCH better than previous phone which would drop everything at home.

Carriage crossing apartments. Barely one bar in or outside apartment. Almost all calls drop. Goes into digital roaming often outside or in! Right in middle of town.

I'm between two towers for AT&T (Cingular) and my signal bounces back and forth between them. I end up with poor reception and constantly have dropped calls. They deny it and tell me I have great coverage (according to their maps), and that I should just turn off my phone everyday to get the updates. When they tell you this it is pure garbage and they are just stalling you. When I talked to a local company that specializes in repeaters they gave me the real story right off the bat and put me in contact with somebody who could really help.

Really never had a problem wherever I went. Virgin Mobil uses the Sprint Network and I've never had a call dropped... it was from the other end. Virgin Mobil phones aren't the best quality though... kinda like a cheap dashboard in a cheap car... but seem to work okay. I like the Snapper over the other models.

Generally very good in this area, including parts of Hill Road, State St.into town. There seems to be a dead zone somewhere along Veterans Parkway. Have been generally very satisfied with coverage with infrequent drooped calls.

Verizon Wireless signal is this area and gone from bad to worse. Most of the calls are either dropped or the person on the other line is scrambled. Complaints to both Verizon corporate or to locals goes no where. Others using Verizon phones have the same problem, please Verizon wake up and do something!

At the Albertson's in this location, I can keep a signal barely long enough to have a fast conversation. Inside the store, I have 2-3 bars until I dial, then I have none. My home is a mile away, and the reception in my house is also terrible - almost all of my calls are dropped very quickly.

I live off of Lake Hazel rd near Five Mile Rd... when I go west on Lake Hazel to Eagle rd. and turn right on Eagle (North) within about 1-2 minutes (Amity rd. area)my reception bars drop down to basically nothing until I get all the way down near Overland rd.
