tower is no longer in service, roaming to Canadian tower. They state unable to fix at this time.

Cingular service on the North Arm of Rainy Lake is spooky as a French woman. I believe the Cingular service is provided by the tower at the 2nd Bridge on the south side of Sand Bay. At the 5 mile dock near the Causeway the signal is zero, Nada, kaput. If I drive west 2 miles toward Fort Frances the signal dramatically improves. If I boat north from the 5 mile dock the signal is very poor, non-existant 1 / 2 mile north. Going further north, there are places where some signal can be detected. At my cabin, 20 miles north of the tower, I have a 16db Yagi 90 feet above the lake which will bring in Cingular's GSM signal at 2 bars, enough for reasonably reliable communications.

Verizon uses a tower belonging to a local cell company. (Its actually an old fire tower). 4 to 5 bars in town and east on land or the lake.
