Copper Mountain, Dillon (Valley), I-70 (to / from, Dillon, CO 80435 |
Thu Mar 16, 2006 |
Well I just got back from a skiing trip. We went to Copper Mountain and stayed in the Dillon Valley. It was awsome and so was my cell phone coverage. This is a review for Cingular Wireless GSM. I have full signal most of the time in the valley - but sometimes when I would make a call the bars would bounce back and forth from 7 / 7 to 4 / 7. On Copper Mountain I had service at the lodge / mountain base, I also had service on all the runs. On our way to and from Denver I had service in Georgetown, Idaho Springs, Alice Valley, Silver Plume, Loveland Pass, and almost all the other small towns and along I-70. I did not get service along I-70 about 12 miles before Silver Plume (I lost service there for about 3 minutes) - but besides that I was great usually 4 / 7 to 7 / 7 bars. The same exact stuff happened with T-Mobile - they had the same performance as Cingular.

Dropped calls, low signal, and prove to us you are having issues. If you live in Summit Cove do not sign up for Verizon -- Lee Wasson.

US 6 / Arapahoe Basin / A-Basin Ski Area, Dillon, CO 80435 |

Digital only phones, such as the VX4500 with Verizon, or any GSM phone have practically no coverage in Mountain areas such as A-Basin and Winter Park. There are regions of good reception, but shadowing effects are significant. Non-interstate highways are also wastelands for digital service, so since analog service is still provided in many of these areas, I still carry an old expired trimode phone for "911" emergency calls. Maybe it's a "West of the Mississippi" problem, too much area, not enough subscribers...
