Switching to verizon. Tired of weak to no signal all the time!!

AT&T reception---in or out is non-existent. We had great reception with Alltel ---since AT&T took them over we no longer can make or receive calls... .the phone is an expensive paper-weight. We have reported this to AT&T numerous times---spent over 30 hours on the phone to fix over the last few months---sent a Microcell--signal booster through cable but went to install it and was told that it wasn't approved, by the FCC, for use in our area---paid $200 to ATT for this. ATT told us repeatedly that they would let us out of our contract but when requested to do this without penalty---went up the chain and was told that noone will allow this or they would get fired... .talk about big company egregious behavior!

AT&T sucks! Had great reception and speed with Alltel. Since AT&T bought them out, calls drop and net connectivity is spotty at best. An dumping them ASAP!

Very spotty service in Billings... even if I have 4 bars calls are dropped and reception is often poor if I CAN talk.

I don't know why T-Mobile has gotten the best coverage out of all of the carriers on this site, because when I went to sign up for T-Mobile service they told me my Billings zipcode wasn't serviced. I tried every Billings zipcode out of curiousity and it wouldn't take any of them.

No reception in Billings, MT--only roaming, but have to pay extra $$ for that.

the phone is fabulous. great camera and battery life along with sound clarity. great service all through montana. super cheap for unlimited everything. love cell one.

Roaming off Alltel's GSM network. My phone will sometime picks up EDGE or edge, but mostly picks up GPRS or gprs. Thats why I switch to Verizon.

Roaming on Verizon. It picks up great, but its still Roaming.

I just moved here, and AT&T and Sprint do not have native service here. Verizon is really good. I love there 3G. I never liked AT&T as it is. My calls were always getting dropped.

We get no reception from our Verizon blackberry phones unless we go down our hill to the town of Bridger. It is very frustrating... Thinking of changing to another cell phone service.

I have had Sprint forever and have great service every time I come into Montana out of California. I have better service on Sprint than some of the local companies.

actually montana can be a touchy place for anyone... any service, but weirdly enough chinook is one of the touchiest things i've ever seen, it's ALL or nothing, I either have 5 bars or zero, they're working the kinks out but mostly it's just because they're the only GSM service in montana... they're not even an option on the carrier choice, but i'm not complaining, it gives me what I want, texting and calling, for cheap, if I wanted excellent service I wouldnt live in montana :P

Coverage is great, even in the basement. Been a customer for 5 years.

I have had good service here for 5 years but this last year when I try to call out of state my phone won't have any reception for one or two tries and then the next time it will work fine. I hear that it is because Qwest uses Cellular cell towers.

Qwest phones probably shouldn't be sold in Billings- very poor reception

Was buying a house on N. 32nd St. NO RECEPTION. Called Cingular and was told that they don't even have a tower for 600 miles! Switching as soon as I move up there.

I have found no service to be anywhere around Billings or the Hardin Area. I dont think Cingular even has service coverage at all in Montana despite their coverage map claims

My wife moved to billings, mt about a month ago and reception sucks! More than 1 / 2 the time I am not able to reach her. Use Verizon because her sister has great reception all the time. I am thinking of switching.

Sounds O.K. but almost every call is lost at some point. Almost no coverage between Billings and Great Falls. My friend has Cell One and always gets to laugh at me when I borrow his phone while traveling. Who does Verizons billing (&^*%).
