The reason there is no Sprint coverage there in Billings, MT is because Sprint made a business decision to partner with Alltel for native coverage in that area, similar to how much of VA, WV, MD, PA is covered by nTelos and Shentel. Sprint did have great coverage in MT, on Alltel's network. Then the Verizon - Alltel thing happened, that entire area got divested to AT&T, and Sprint's coverage went away. Hopefully with all that SoftBank money they will look into building out some of the areas they lost.
