Idaho cell towers at a glance
The FCC records list 896 cell towers and other antenna sites in Idaho: every registered antenna structure that is built and still standing, plus the licensed cellular transmitter sites too short to need registration. That ranks Idaho 40th of the 51 states and DC by number of registered sites. The most common structure is the tower, with 348 sites (39%). Boise has the most listed sites of any city, at 63.

Carriers on the record in Idaho
Verizon is named on the most Idaho sites, 115 of them (13%). A carrier is named only when it owns the structure or its cellular licence lists the site, so these counts are a floor, not a total. Most towers in Idaho are owned by tower companies that rent space to several carriers without naming them.
| Carrier | Sites naming it | Share of Idaho sites |
|---|---|---|
| Verizon | 115 | 13% |
| AT&T | 38 | 4.2% |
| T-Mobile | 30 | 3.3% |

What is not counted
FCC registration is required only for structures over 200 feet or near airports, so shorter monopoles, rooftop antennas and small cells in Idaho are mostly missing unless a cellular licence lists them. Why a tower is missing from the map explains the gap. The data is rebuilt monthly from the FCC's bulk files.
