Cell Service North Shore of Lake Superior
I'm going to be vacationing along the Northern Shore of Lake Superior from Sault Ste Marie to Thunder Bay and beyond. I will be staying in Provincial Parks. Can anyone describe the cell phone service...

Hi Jim:
Sorry, I don't have info for Bell or Virgin. You may want to find who your provider twins with here, then you can get a better idea of the coverage. I looked at the Rogers coverage map and they give a VERY different coverage area than the reality up north.
For Rogers the phone service dropped off north of SSM, we stayed at Rabbit Blanket Lake in LS provincial park, no service. No service on Rogers in Neys PP and the Marathon area, service resumed somewhere east of Thunder Bay.
I make the assumption that if you don't have phone service you won't get data either (although I've been wrong in the past!). The sat internet service we use is through Hughes with a dish, so we can get it anywhere (except in the trees in Rabbit Blanket!).
Hope this helps!
