Flatwoods / From Mile 25 to Exit 67 intersection, Flatwoods, WV 26621
Tue Sep 21, 2004
This has been a consistent problem as I travel to Flatwoods often on business. I had no signal within the hotel (on a hill), although other persons with AT&T, US Cellular, and Verizon services did have service. One other AT&T user had good reception outside of the hotel. I watched my phone as I drove south towards Charleston. I had no signal for at least 40 miles.
US Cellular advertises in the Pocahontas Times, a weekly newspaper located in Marlinton WV. I can only get reception near Hot Springs, VA and roaming at about 4700 feet on the Senic Highway.
US Cellular still claims it has service in Richwood, WV but they are lying. There is no service outside of Summersville making US Cell customers in a large black hole as they travel through Richwood to Snowshoe Mtn. Right now the only provider is TDMA Eastbrooke Cellular operating under the name CellularOne and they have only in town signal but nothing outside of town. With US Cell you have to drive within about 5 miles of the city line of Summersville to get great reception without fuzzy or dropped calls. CellOne has offered decent service through there by putting up the only tower in a huge dead zone between Craigsville and Summersville but still there is a slight dead zone before you get to the Muddelty split then you begin to get better signal. US Cell has really crappy coverage of Nicholas County and said they do not plan on expanding coverage so if your on Verizon, Alltel, or US Cell you will have no signal or Analog while driving Rt 55 from outside of Summersville to Richwood and Marlinton.
US Cellular 0 Out of 5

Area closed in by surrounding hills, no tower. Nearest tower for the Weston area is in Wetzel county. IF you can get connected its roaming.
