We got T-mobile and I dont get any signals around Cedar Creek/Gun Barrel City. Its pretty lame. What other providers have folks had luck with getting signals out there?

-Christian

I have cingualar and have good service out there.

Cingular ! ! Even out in the middle of the lake it works!!!
Christian - where ya been? Did you get your record recorded?

I HAVE SPRINT, MY PHONE HAS ALWAYS WORKED

Brad,
Yeah I was out of town last weekend.

May hit Hubbard tomorrow.

Yeah T-mobile sucks.....

I have Sprint and get great reception on Cedar Creek...now Fork...that's another story

When ever your going East of Dallas better have Cingular if you want to actually talk on it.

I've got Cingular. No problem on Cedar Creek.

I noticed when I was down at Tradinghouse outside of Waco, if I was in the inlet arm I wasn't in "Extended Service". When I trolled over into the outlet arm of the lake, it went into "Extended Service".

Oh, well, guess you gotta draw the line somewhere...

verizon, just a couple of spots i cannot get a signal, and i had att and it worked fine there too. of course i hardly answer the phone on the water unless it is somebody who is out there calling me

I've got Cingular also and have no problem on Cedar Creek,Texoma,or Whitney.

I have actually tried 3 phones different services @ same time

Sprint works the best @ CC

I tested multiple phones since we bought a weekend home there

Full coverage with NO problems. That's strange! I live lake front on CC. I've had at least a dozen different phones (because each provider claimed I needed the top-of-the-line phone to correct the problem) and service provided by Metrocell, ATT, SWB (now Cingular) and Sprint at various times since 1988. None have consistently worked around the lake without dropping calls or no signal. No provider consistently works in my house or yard. Actually the old analog Metrocell and SWB systems worked better at the house. The analog coverage deteriorated with the advent of digital, although at the house we still receive on analog 80% of the time, instead of digital. Go figure! I currently have the wife's Sprint and my Cingular hoping one or the other will have reception at any given time. They do transmit/receive digital w/o problems out on the dock or almost everywhere else on the water with occasional problems around the dam and lower end. Guess the water acts as a ground plane for transmissions. My neighbors, as well as friends scattered around the lake, complain of the same thing. If all the part-timers have NO problems I guess the providers just sell inferior equipment to us country folk who live here.

i have alltel and it gets good reception all over the lake area. i have tried cingular and i think it sucks. so does cellone for lake area coverage.

OLD DEP..THERE ARE A COUPLE OF AREAS AT THE LAKE THAT I CANNOT GET A SIGNAL...ON ANY PHONE.

I'm too tight to buy a cell phone so I carry a trac-fone for emergencies. I usually carry it while on the water. If I need to make a call with it, I can always count on it. It is one of those old analog types.
