Another OT question

[Wade Joseph]

Just curious...who has the best cell service in Duluth? I doubt my US Cellular is gonna work without roaming.

I will probably be needeing to switch.

[Quickstrike]

i just switched from t mobile to verizon, i liked both of them although with verizon you get a bigger coverage area when getting out of the city and is especially good when going up the shore. i also know a few people with cell one and they seem to have no problems with them.

[Northlander]

I have cell one and from what I have found out I have just as good if not better coverage than most people around Duluth. I get good reception on the upper St.Louis where most dont get any. Also on the French River I can get calls where others cant. Thats the far East and West of Duluth. Sometimes its a good thing and at times its not so good.

As far as traveling around Mn. fishing my friends with Verizon seem to get coverage in more places on average. Still dont know anyone who gets Cel coverage in the Red Lake area though.

[Finns]

Okay, I am from Missouri but what does OT stand for/mean?

[BD110]

Finns,

My guess is that it stands for (Out of Town) question.

It works for me anyway.

Take care,

Off Topic.

I had very poor reception wih Cellular One, and have switched over to Verizon. Now I get very good reception all over the area.

[Northlander]

Out of Town Question. LOL. Thats too funny BD110.

[outdoor ran]

bd110 don't feel bad I didn't know what OT was either. Has for cell phones I have Verizon and a buddy of my has cell one. If I have service he dosent and if he dose I don't. He can't get a reception on Lake Superior though.

[Wade Joseph]

Sorry, didn;t mean to confuse you all. I meant OT to mean Off topic. So it sounds like its a 50/50, flip a coin, 6 one way, half a dozen the other as to which cell company I shoudl use. Just my luck. See down here in La Crosse its easy. US Cellular is the clear choice as far as coverage AND reception.

Guess I will have to wait till I get up there and quiz the reps from each company.

[ReelTimes]

I have Verizon and have been somewhat disappointed. I find that I have no coverage from Esko to West Duluth. I also have almost no coverage on Midway Road. Has anyone else had similar experience. I took my phone into Verizon and they said it was fine. I switched from cell one but have to say I had better overall coverage around Duluth with Cell One.

[Papa Woodie]

I used to work for cellone...they are a great company...if you stay North of Hinkly. Reception in Duluth is above average, but if you get on the road to the cities, or the Silver Bay/esko areas at all, verizon wins hands down.

So, if your in town all the time, choose cell one. If you travel, Verizon is the way to go.

[BD110]

Northlander,

Thanks for pointing out my mistake. Can you help me out with this one? Your an (A S S) and I'm just kidding mind you. At least I tried.

Take care,

BD, just call Northlander OT for overly tall. He can't help his handicap, after all. It's not his fault he avoids the Great Plains so no one will confuse him with a grain elevator.

[Surface Tension]

I've got cell one and the coverage seems good with a respectable home range. Price was cheaper too.

[Northlander]

BD110 be careful remem ber who carries you every WED night!

I don't think this subject is that OT. I have to provide 24/7 support to my company. Knowing which cell service will still work and where helps alot when I want to get on water or be in the woods.
