Can You Hear Me Now?...Best Cell Service in the Whites?
I'm considering getting a new lightweight cell phone and interested in any feedback on differences in carrier service in the Whites.
I currently have an older model with US Cellular. I don't carry it on a regular basis because the service is so spotty and it isn't particularly lightweight. I'm looking to be able to phone home to check in from overnight locations, e.g., Guyot, Madison, Lafayette, Galehead, etc.
With US Cellular I got just enough signal at Carter & Lake of the Clouds to make the call, but the connection was terrible.
And with all due respect, could we keep any general discussion of the electronic invasion of the wilderness experience out of this thread? I'm not planning on discussing the VFTT with friends, calling in to check on business, or requesting rescue if I get a hangnail. Thank you.
