How in world did people EVER get along before there were cellphones? Did they not go beyond sight of a payphone? Did they not have health issues before cellphones were available? Did they not drive their cars in the country unless a Trooper with a radio in his car was in sight?
It really is a pityfull sight seeing all of those people who cannot walk anywhere without the cellphone in hand. Checking, checking, checking, checking.
Yeah, it is nice to have cell service but if it is not there, well, too bad. It is not the end of the world & the world will continue to spin without you being connected to it for a few days.
As far as Yellowstone & Fishing Bridge area goes, well yes, they should have coverage. It is a congested area with business & mobile people. Cell towers don't always need to be hundreds of feet high. There is one in Grand Teton. You would hardly know it is there. The top of the tower with the antenna arrays barely pokes above the trees.
