I will be moving to Kalispell for the summer. I've used Nextel for some time in OKC and it's great. I have heard, though, that Nextel doesn't work at all in Montana and that Sprint itself doesn't even have any of their own cellular towers there. One man did tell me that he has had friends come through w/ Nextel and it worked fine, but I'm thinking it could have been the new hybrid phones.
Does anyone know if Nextel works at all in Montana, particularly for Kalispell?
If I need to go w/ a prepaid phone or something, which service is recommended? I have found most people like Alltel and that some like Verizon, but I really need good coverage in Kalispell, even if it doesn't work anywhere else in Montana.
Does anyone have any experience using a hybrid sprint phone and roaming on other towers up there? I have heard that the service is really bad but if it's okay I may just switch to Sprint hybrid.
Thanks for any and all input. I have to make a decision very quickly.
