Phone services

We will be in Banff and Jasper area and was wondering about phone service. We are staying at Tunnel Mountain trailer court in Banff and in the town of Hinton while in Jasper. Our service is with At&t. Thanks for any information.

    Does att have a coverage map?


    Maybe this will help you out. Click here.

    Of course, the campground could be in a bucket with no reception, or surrounded by high voltage power lines, or tall buildings blocking the one and only campsite that doesn't get the signal, and that just happens to be the one you are on! No way to verify that specific spot.
  • Regardless of what the coverage map(s) may say, call the CG and ask them if they have good/bad cell service.

    ATT and Verizon coverage maps are greater fiction than my expense reports.


    I see you're copying my expense reports again. :)
  • When I go to Canada with ATT for any length of time I purchase a monthly passport which gives reduced cost per call, unlimited text and some data. Have not had a problem.
