Are there areas in the middle of nowhere, especially in the Western states, where your cell phone

can't get a signal?

[Jumping John]

1. Yes see below:

2. There sure were in Vermont

last weekend but then it was a little hilly where I was. It may also depend on who your carrier is and whether or not they have coverage in a particular area.

3. There are areas in *San Diego* that are iffy

challenging terrain.

4. Middle Of Nowhere Is Not Necessary

The golf course i play at is a small public place 60 to 65 miles south of Chicago. My wife's phone, my phone, and my company phone are all on different carriers. Not one of them works out there. Zero bars.

Yeah, that's starting to get into the rural areas, but at only an hour or so from Chicago, it doesn't count as the middle of nowhere.

So, i'd imagine there are lots of places like that.

5. There are lots of areas in the Adirondacks where there is no cell service

[RevStPatrick]

6. There's a spot where I get no signal...

...on MY side of the couch.
You know, the place where I would like to sit and talk on the phone.
I have to stand up to get a signal.
That's the ONLY spot in this whole damn town where I can't use my phone!

7. I used to live in Sonoma, CA and it was nonexistant

had to climb a mountain, pray and hold metallic shit for a two minute call.

Moved to LA and its obviously way better, but way more clogged and slow, though.

8. A lot of my area does not, here in NE Minnesota. GPS is useless in some parts, and Google Earth/Maps

doesn't know much when it comes to addresses. You have to know where you're going, up here.

9. Snake Valley, NV: Baker, NV; Great Basin NP; Garrison, UT; and the surrounding valleys and mountains

10. Pretty much all of Wyoming and Montana is dead for T-Mobile...nt

[madinmaryland]

13. What are you doing in Wyoming and Montana, joey?

Are you the one kicking threads in those State Groups??

[Bluenorthwest]

11. Plenty of such areas are in the middle of someplace....

Remote is not required.

12. the western end of the Howard Frankland bridge across Tampa Bay.

true story, I get dropped there every time...

[HillWilliam]

14. There's a couple of holes in the rural county where I live that no carrier covers

I pass through one daily to/from work. At the worst, in that spot I can walk to "the" gas station. And hope that it's during daylight when it's open. Otherwise I'm scrod.

[librechik]

15. Yup, Colorado, especially the West part

[Hugabear]

16. There are areas around Los Angeles where you can't get a cell phone signal

At least that was the case when I was there a few months ago, in some of the more mountainous regions.

[NV Whino]

17. Lots of places here

Including my house.

[slackmaster]

18. There is only one possible explanation

[sofa king]

19. Heck, there are still plenty of places like that in Pennsylvania.

And West Virginia? They would be better off with a Chappe Telegraph system.
