I've had T-Mobile for a very long time. I travel all over the region and am generally on call 24 hours a day, so have a good idea of what sort of reception I get where. In Latah, WA most streets have no coverage, but at my home I can get reception in one upstairs room and drop most calls that last more than 2 minutes. South of Latah I cannot get any reception until just past Moscow / Pullman. The reception in Idaho is very poor South of Worley, but is fine in Couer d'Alene. East of CDA is crappy and nothing until Montana. North of Fairfield, WA is spotty until Rockford. Rockford all the way to Spokane is great. Spokane and the Valley are pretty much 4 to 5 bars with no dropped calls. Heading West is good until just past Airway Heights and spotty through Reardan. No reception West of Davenport through much of the Okanogan. Spokane to Tri Cities is mostly fine. North of Spokane is patchy if you're closer to Idaho heading towards Newport, but pretty good along the 395 towards Chewelah, WA. I do get 2 to 4 bars most of the way from CDA to Sandpoint, ID with only a few dead spots. The biggest disappointment is the areas of Idaho from Just South of CDA to Moscow. It seems as though the entire area is completely dead. Though plenty of other companies have good reception in those areas. I stick with T-Mobile because it is the only one I'm certain I can get a call at my house with. For the remote areas, if you have to be reached I suggest Pass Word Paging in Spokane in addition to your cell phone. No cell phone company has perfect coverage.
