In the retreat my AT&T Signal drops in and out. When it's in it's 3-5 bars. Signal also drops without fail when going over the mountain. I was looking for another carrier, but would prefer to avoid the hassle (especially since all my music's on the iPhone) and wouldn't expect failproof service on a mountain anyway. Someone recommended trying a signal booster which I just might do.

Now that T-Mobil put their tower on Rt 7 at the quarry we have pretty good signal on the main floor (3 bars), and occasonally I get a call when in the basement, but it is unusual. I want to find out who broadcasts from the Blue Ridge Rescue Squad building. That tower is also pretty new, but I can't find out who has a system on it. TowerCo is the owner and they don't tell you on their website. Many of these towers have several sets of antennae and can be used by several systems. I want to keep a GSM phone if possible.

As with my Verizon 1xEVDO card, My Sprint PPC-6700 gets ZERO signal unless connected to an external antenna and signal amp.. then it gets 2 bars, but the signal drops make it next to impossible to use for anything more than txt messages.

No reception with the 1xEVDO card alone. I get 2 bars (-90db) with a signal booster AND an external antenna, but I still only get flaky at best 1xRTT signal.

My Samsung on Verizon is useless on the mountain. It is constantly changing service areas but never gets a signal. I can use it at the parking area near 601 and Rt 7 but have to stay in the lot. I had a contractor with T-Mobile who uses his phone all over the mountain. Not sure what model phone he had.
