Oh please call early and call often! Text, too. Lots of pics, please.

A bit fed up with previous carrier from past 20 years so tried something different this time, T Mobile since December. So far, so good around here. Right at Bucksaw ramp it's sketchy but so was my previous. The data/e mail is much better and the plan was a few bucks better per month. Have found that the phone can influence how good you rate your reception. Can tell you there is one brand of phone I "won't" be recommending any time soon.

My Verizon (with the phone I have) works at the overlook heading down to Bucksaw. Beyond that it's dead until close to the cut-through below Bucksaw.

I used to have reception at the camper but has been worthless for the last two months. Thanks for the report, Kaz. Please keep me posted. Youngest son in the "city" has T-mobile so we could have some benefits in that respect.

sprint phone works good at bucksaw but not so good too far from there, nothing at tightwad ramp and back that way. Verizon and sprint use the same technology and can roam on each others network, so they kinda go together.

They have been trying to talk me into riding along on the next tornado that comes along, but I think I'll pass:o

I think you should go one night! I used to do it!

Novice change phones not your company! PW has one of those LG phones and she don't get out very well at Bucksaw, I love my Motorola phone. Its one of them that you can put into a meter of water for a half hour and it will still work!

Sprint has good coverage because they have roaming agreements with Verizon. So with Sprint you get the same coverage as with Verizon. There are no roaming fees with Sprint and they have the best plans if you are getting anything more than just voice service. Mobile to mobile calls are free anytime too. I have lots of friends that work for Sprint so I try to help keep them employed. Their customer service has improved by leaps and bounds as well. I had AT&T for my work cell and all I can say is, "more bars in more places my a**". Tons of dropped calls in KC area, especially around Smithville on AT&T.
