We have had mulitiple problems with Verizon coverage in Riggins. Now it won't work at all. The clerk at The City of Riggins office told me that Alltel is the only service that covers this area now.

I use to have another phone that worked in Riggins Idaho, I think it was an Audiovox, but then I went to McCall and *228 to update the phone and when I returned to Riggins I had no service? With the exact same phone that did work prior to updating the software. Called Verizon support and they couldn't help me. My new Razor V3c does not work in Riggins either while a friends newer Razor does work great in Riggins. He did make sure that when he purchased the new phone they did not change a single thing about his calling plan that is like 2-3 years old now. I beleive the cell tower in Riggins had an agreement with Verizon but it fell through one day so when you update your phone it will not work anymore? Oh yes you do have to change the option in system from automatic B to automatic A for most phones to work in Riggins.

We were assured by Verizon that our new phones would work here. They don't! Other Verizon users in the area seem to receive reception on their phones. What gives?
