Has cell service improved in Death Valley?

Last time I was there, I think we had sporadic service around Furnace Creek, but I could be mistaken. Anyone know? We have Verizon.
  • Thanks, we were there and found Verizon was on extended service at Furnace Creek. Calls worked fine. Internet was slow and intermittent. Rest of park zero cell service.
  • We were there two weeks ago, Verizon cell service was adequate for phones at the Furnace Creek Federal Campground, but very slow data. At the Sunset campground there was phone but no data connection, even with a Wilson booster.
  • I was in Furnace Creek Dec. 2014 and had good VZ service in the campground. Nearly all the rest of the park no service. Zero at Mesquite Springs.
  • For some reason, that one piece of information is so hard for me to remember about where I 've been.

    The Verizon coverage map doesn't look good for there, voice or data. For what that's worth.
