I travel this state as well at ID and WY. Whenever I ride with a Verizon customer they are amazed at the coverage I have when they have none. Data service is great, too. I'm very concerned that Alltel customers are being dumped on AT&T after reading the reviews and reviewing their site. I won't go back to Verizon after the way they treated me with their pathetic business practices. The Alltel sale looks to be a lose-lose for everybody.

Good coverage all over town and in big sky, but not in the canyon on the way to Big Sky... not that any other carrier does. Over all, it's good. But all my friends have verizon, so I have to pay for txt msgs.

I would like to say that I would like some way that it would make it easier to talk to such as an earpiece and if my cell phone service effects other cell phone compaines.

AT&T claims that they cover Bozeman Montana but I moved here from Evansville Indiana, and I have traveled all over the country with different brands of AT&T phones and the truth of the matter is they have the worst coverage of any company I've seen to date. They lie on the commercials and when you talk to them in the stores. Then when you call customer service not only do most of their reps. NOT speak English they don't resolve anything. DO NOT USE AT&T!

I have a new iPhone with AT&T Postpaid, contract plan. Good, consistent outdoor coverage along major roads and cross streets. EDGE data available via AT&T. No 3G. Intermittent visual voicemail. Service becomes spotty along rural routes as you head away from Bozeman. I tried a prepaid (Pay As You Go - PAYG) AT&T phone here prior to signing up for service. I found no coverage. AT&T's roaming agreements with the local tower operators are only for postpaid customers (as I finally had explained to me from AT&T).

I have just recently arrived on campus and have been all over town, testing my AT&T reception along the way. I get nothing. Searching... ..

No cross over service for AT&T pay as you go customers - shame on you AT&T - I should be able to spend my balance where ever I choose. It is 2008 not 1988 - get your switching agreements sorted and your act together. Why is it si can go to any country in Europe with my UK vodafone plan and call of any network (at a price I will agree) but I cannot evev switch state in the US and still use the same SIM card / service provider. In fact AT& T stink.

Service jumps from G to not G. Service cuts off in calls as the towers don't hand off. And I'm not moving around when this happens. From past experience I know that Verizon doesn't cover the interstates. Had no connection for all I-80 in Nevada once I left the cities. Cingular / AT&T has most of freeways covered.

Tower must have a malfunction. Most of the time I have to walk up a block to be able to get my messages (1-2bars), but I could not make a phone call with it. I have to go up to the 6th floor of the engineering building to be able to make a phone call.

Service is terrible! Absolutely no bars at our residence, terrible coverage going up the canyon toward West Yellowstone, no coverage around Hebgen Lake. Tried to talk to Customer Service they have been absolutely NO help. So we have a phone that is basically unusable for the areas we travel to and from...
