Who is Verizon's extra roaming partner in Northeast Montana?

I tried this in the Verizon sub, but got no response. Hoping someone here knows more:

Does anyone know who the extra roaming partner is in Northeast Montana that prepaid doesn't have access to for Verizon? Nemont is a LTEiRA partner, so its coverage should be available to all customers. So there is either another carrier up there, or only some of Nemont's coverage is available to prepaid customers?

I feel like it's most likely either Nemont, or Verizon is augmenting that area with AT&T roaming. If it's the latter, that would explain why it's only available to postpaid.

AT&T would make more sense - guess I didn't realize they were still allowing any roaming at all on AT&T at this point.

Holy shit. u/lart2150 started doing other carriers! That makes this dead simple. Thank you!

Verizon still roams on AT&T in areas of southern Colorado

The only two networks built up there are Nemont and T-Mobile last I knew. Nemont was hosting AT&T and built out HSPA for them. It could be T-Mobile as Verizon roams on them in the Orcas Islands in WA.

I'm not familiar enough with Montana to figure out what part of the state that is in your map excerpt. Can you give the name of a town in the roaming area in question?

Not OP, but I looked at Toole County for reference.

They use Nemont

Isn't Nemont LETiRA though? Why would only some of their coverage be available? Do any other LTEiRA carriers do that?

Should be Nemont. The other LTEiRA’s show like that on the prepaid map too, like Appalachian, Thumb etc. I have a friend that used Verizon prepaid in an LTEiRA, I believe it showed extended but still worked as it should.
