Cell phones
Getting ready to head out on the road in April and need to know about cell phone service. What is the best phone to buy and what service works good while traveling?

. . . The again, there is the "quiet zone" in part of West Virginia and Virginia where you will never be able to receive a cell phone or WIFI signal because of Federal regulations.
We live in the National Radio Quiet Zone. Radio broadcasts are tightly controlled here due to the sensitivity of the equipment at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Green Bank WV and the Navy Information Operations Command at Sugar Grove, WV. I know that in the town of Green Bank, you're not even allowed to have WiFi or a cordless land-line phone, let alone a cell phone.
But cell service (AT&T) exists here, in spots. We have cell service at our house. We can use WiFi. We even have low-power radio stations in the area.
It's well worth a visit, even without cell service. :)
