Wifi in Yellowstone
We have a 3G StraightTalk Hotspot. Should it work in YNP & Tetons? I know cell service isn't the greatest in YNP, So I was wondering about this. Will need it occasionally.

- It will work occasionally. No really don't depend on it. As far as I know it will only work in places like at the hotel, unless they have really beefed up the signal you really won't have one. The Tetons will give you a better shot but still will be iffy.
- Unless it's changed in the last couple years don't count on it. We stayed in Colter Bay and went to the store/laundry to use theirs. There's no air tv or even radio stations. ATT was spotty...
- I would plan on not having it.
- That is the last good thing about Yellowstone. Kids don't walk into you while on their smart phones and actually look for cars when they cross the roads. :B
- Actually as of last fall Verizon has a new tower and we got excellent cell and data at Fishing Bridge in the campgound
- We stayed at the Headwaters Lodge campground in Grand Teton. That is a few miles south of the southern entrance to Yellowstone. If you wanted a cell signal, you had to drive at least 10-15 miles.
- Just take yourself back in time, say 20 years, and pretend you never had the cell phone. :) You really can get by without it. Really.
- Just left Yellowstone yesterday .We had great ATT wifi and voice service while in West Yellowstone, but nothing in the park from Norris south to Grand Teton's.
