Cell Phone/Service for Hwy 395 & DV
Posted: Sat Apr 21, 2007 7:40 am
lost my cell phone last weekend on Forgotten Pass and need to replace it. I currently subscribe to Sprint PCS and had a Sanyo Dual-Band SCP-4500 phone, which was capable of analog roaming.
Because I frequently drive from LA > Mammoth via hwys 14 (mojave) and 395, as well as occassionally visit Death Valley, Im looking for a phone/provider that provides reliable service in these areas.
With my lost phone, I had a dead zone from Mojave north about 20 miles, but then had analog roam service all the way to Mammoth. I also had recepetion, albeit spotty, in the Panamint Valley. Ive made calls from the top of Whitney, Forgotten Pass and other peaks with my lost phone.
I would like to know the phone and service you have, and whether or not you have reception along 395 and in the Panamint Valley. Knowing what phones/service DO NOT provide reception will be as helpful as knowing which ones do.
THANX.
