Cell phone service in Yellowstone & area
Which cell phone co has best service in Yellowstone and surrounding area? We all have ATT & just read somewhere that ATT isn't that good in that area? What have you experienced?

- We usually stay just outside of the park at Gardnier and AT&T is good. While in the park during the day, we don't worry about it.
- I found this paragraph:
Will my mobile phone work in the Park?
There are four cell towers within Yellowstone, and whether you have service will depend upon your carrier. Verizon has the best coverage, and AT&T has coverage in the southern part of the park and Gardiner and West Yellowstone. If you have a different cell phone provider, it will depend upon your companies roaming agreements with these two companies. Our app Ultimate Yellowstone offers maps of cell phone coverage and helpful hints for where to go to make a call.
at this website: http://www.yellowstone.ws/visitorsguide.html - Verizon is pretty good. It works in West Yellowstone, parts of the Grand Tetons, and spotty at Old Faithful. I believe it works in Mammoth too. About 4 years ago some friends with AT&T had better connections at Lake than I did (and theirs was far from perfect), but I heard they were putting up a new tower near Lake this year, so service there may be improved somewhat. Still, don't expect to have cell service in many places in the park. And that's fine with me too.
- I remember there being Verizon coverage at old faithful. I don't recall where else.
- The wife and I just spent a week at Madison Campground. No cell service of any kind. That was great.
