PLC Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 So, my wife just pooped out our third kid and I'll be doing a lot of solo forays into the Wilderness. She wants me to get a cheap cell phone for emergencies (mostly to check in and say "I'm on my way home"). Anywho - what carrier provides the best overall coverage in the North Cascades and Olympics?

Julian Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Verizon, just like everywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summitchaserCJB Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) Not to be the grammar Nazi but it is popped not pooped. By the way, I live in Woodinville too. Edited February 25, 2010 by summitchaserCJB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbcbd Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Verizon. I've had reception with it from some cool places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLC Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Sounds like Verizon it is. And, "pooped" is what I meant... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summitchaserCJB Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 oh....that's weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadfanatic Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I've had good luck with Cincular. Now AT&T. With reception on Half Dome in Yosemite and on the top of Mt. Hood. FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NS_Jackson Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) I'll tell you what - it is certainly NOT T-mobile. Can't usually get coverage in my neighborhood, much less in the mountains. Dad went hiking with me last year at Hidden Lake and had coverage right after getting back onto Cascade River road.

summitchaserCJB Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I vote for AT and T. Good reception on Baring, Chair, the Tooth, pretty good near Leavenworth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbw1966 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I've had Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile. Verizon has the best coverage in the PNW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
