Region G cell coverage

[hookiller]

Will my cell phone get reception in the high country? Some say yes. Do I need to rent a satellite phone?
Thanx gents, leaving this month, Hookiller

 

[ADDICT]

satellite for sure

How did the pioneers and mountainmen make it without a cell phone? I'll just never know.
I've got reception on the peaks around Afton. I got it in more places than I thought I would too.
If I loose reseption I don't worry too much though.

Reception is good on the top of McDougall Pass road.

If you're going solo a sat phone isn't a bad idea. If you're going with someone then a cell phone will work in most of the areas I've been in g and h.

The SPOT gps messanger is a whole lot less than going the sat phone route too. You'll be able to find cell service-it may take some hiking but you'll find it.

If you can see star valley you should have coverage.

It is worth taking a cell phone. I have been suprised at some of the areas that you can get coverage in the Salt River Range. +1 on Deerlove. If you can see Star Valley you will usually have coverage.

Up top in place you will find a few spots down in a valley you wouldn't get squat

I think Smoot is in the very south end of Star Valley.
