techboy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I finished my 2 year contract with T Mobile and looking for another carrier. T-Mobile is non-existent on Mount Hood and forget about Adams but it was really good in the Gorge though. Any recommendations on cell service for Hood/Adams/St Helens? Thanks!

Dan_Miller Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 It seems, the consensus opinion on this board would be Verizon. A search of this site should reveal the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techboy Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Thanks, Yeah, I did search, but only in the Gear Critic, SW and Oregon cascades boards. They seemed to indicate that AT&T was the better, i.e., the "5 climbers lost on hood" thread..if only I had the cash to get both verizon and at&t/cingular and test them. Now that would be a cool gear test! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 All of them suck now that analog is gone. My very first cellphone was clunky and lame but worked all over the Cascades. T-mobile is the only one I hear that is noticeably worse than the rest in the backcountry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbw1966 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I've got T mobile and have coverage on Mt. Hood (at least on the south and west sides). Maybe its your phone and not the carrier? I use the new google G1 phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underworld Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 the best cell carrier for OR or WA cascades is the one having the most fone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
