Summer is here, the trees have leaves, and Verizon is leaving us in the black hole of cell phone signal again. I can no longer get or make calls from home. I know many Verizon users in this area who keep their service because they need coverage up in Cascade and McCall, but back here in our part of the North End, you can't get or receive calls. The problem area with many dead spots goes from Hill Rd on the North almost to State St. and Lemp St. on the South; N 30th St. on the West and almost to Harrison on the East. This area has good Cingular coverage, even in buildings, so it can be done. When I pull into my driveway, I have 0 bars of Verizon signal outside, not in building. Verizon needs to put in another tower to serve this area, but they are not interested. We are installing a repeater antenna to boost our coverage since my husband's employer uses Verizon and he has no other choice.

No coverage along Hwy. 36 between Preston, ID and Montpelier, ID. Hopefully you won't hit a deer or break down because Verizon Wireless doesn't work anywhere...

Cricket is a rip off on reception outside downtown Boise. I have even had no reception right outside their store on Milwaukee. I feel that it is a waste of my money.
I have a virgin mobile phone and live near Givens Hot Springs. There is no reception until I am almost all the way to Nampa, near intersection of Bowmont and Hwy. 45. Unless you are going to only use it in town, I would recommend it for Melba folks.
No reception at all once I pass the bridge coming up south cole. Occasionally It'll ring, but if I pick up, the call drops immediately. Verizon works well in most other areas but looks like they need a new tower to cover the growing S. Cole area.
