We don't get coverage on the beach with T Mobile with our smartphones, but my daughter has a flip phone and it works fine at the beach. A nice lady Uber'ed us up to Newport from Florence, and said use the flip phone to text cause it will work and the smart phones won't. Sure enough, I tried with the smartphones no go, the flip phone went right through. The reason she explained was that the system was originally set up for flip phones and only need a single tower, while a smartphone requires 2 towers. My daughter uses Ting at 5 bucks per month plus per minute use. The bill is usually 8 bucks a month cause she makes no calls really. The point is you could get on a very inexpensive smartphone plan and add a Flip phone for next to nothing for those low coverage area's and still save compared to higher cost plans. Just a thought.
