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...

For the most part, the Bell/Telus shared network (Bell owns Virgin and Virgin uses Bell's network) has the best rural coverage in Ontario. We also don't have this 2G-only nonsense outside urban areas that I've run into with T-Mobile; (virtually) every tower was upgraded to 3G/3G+.
You should be fine along the highway, although the significant hills and valleys along the north shore do cause some trouble. I've found Bell's coverage maps to be accurate (bell.ca/coverage) - so check out where you'll be camping and you can be fairly confident if it says you'll have service.
