  Published at  | Updated at

POCATELLO — Cellphone service provider Syringa Wireless will stop providing wireless communications services and will cease doing business at the end of the year, according to a company press release.

The company released the following statement Wednesday, Sept. 2.

“Syringa Wireless has been operating in southern Idaho for almost 10 years and has proudly served thousands of customers during that time. It is with much regret that we must inform you that beginning December 31, 2015, Syringa Wireless will no longer be providing wireless communications services and will cease doing business. As your neighbors, Syringa Wireless has fought hard to maintain low prices and high quality service for our Idaho communities. We are disappointed that we cannot continue to serve you.

Over the last 3 years we have made extensive financial investments into our network and to the communities we serve with the intent to offer services comparable to our competitors. The wireless industry is fiercely competitive with rapidly changing technologies and cost structures. As a small, locally owned and operated provider, we have arrived at a point where it’s simply not feasible to continue to operate.

Thank you for your business with us over the past several years, it has been our pleasure to serve you.”
