cell phone service snowies

Onthe ryan park side ,,I couldnt get verizon to work ,,but the ATT phone worked good

Dial *228 when you get on the back side and it works awesome! You have to bounce off the carbon county towers at that point.

What phone do you have? I've seen certain model phones get better/worse signals over others with Verizon in the snowies. I agree though, I wouldn't rely on it. I carry both a Spot and a sat phone.

Sorry for the long delay, I have a DARE, an early smart phone. I've noticed I've been getting a little bit of service on the Libby Flats lately.

I have AT&T, just a regular Nokia flip phone. Pretty spotty service, was up this weekend and got nothing at Lake Marie so I turned it off. Also had problems in the winter getting it to work from the Albany lot calling up to Keystone (to another AT&T phone), but those are about the only 2 times I've really checked it.

I have a cheap trac phone that I use when I go out west, it gets great service any where on the mountain. The trac phones use any and all towers so they usally get a good signal anywhere.

I got an union phone just for sledding in the Snowies and the Madres. My Verizon sucks. The union has been great. $30.00 a month

Verizon service is spotty in Albany, but better than it used to be - I can usually get a slight signal in the parking lot, but I don't depend/count on it. If you go up the trail a bit above Albany you can usually pull over to the side and get a signal.

There are also some cabins that have the Verizon network extenders hooked up to the internet on the mountain so you may see a signal or get service in a few small spots
