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!

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.

Ustick / Mitchell, Boise, ID 83704 Fri Jun 22, 2007

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.
