NE14SAND Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 its been a year or 2 since we have gone to dumont. does nextel / sprint work at that place yet?? looks like we will be first in our group on halloween and cell / pc service would be cool. THANKS Aaron Quote
vegas style Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 i think you can get sprint some places no ATT verison seems to work fine Quote
dunefreak Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Other than Verizon that always works out there, I thought one of the other companys put up a new tower in that area and can get signal now. Quote
EY3BA11 Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 its kinda like camping in the wash's before they put up the tower behind the store aaron... If you stand on top of a bush holding a beer in one hand with one foot on your quad and you stick your tounge out while attempting to balance the beer on your head you will probably get reception but for how long who knows There are spots around dumont that all carries will get some kind of reception. Some people find it easier to get it on top of the finger dunes other to the north side of the flats alot of it depends on your phone as well. Quote

EY3BA11 Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 i have heard stories of nextel working perfect on top of a dune or out at the north pole.. Its kinda hit and miss but i cant remember if it was ATT or sprint that added a tower out there.. for some reason att rings a bell. Quote
YFZ350KID Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 last weekend when i was out there, ATT had jack squat... my buddy that has nextel had service the whole time... and verizon guys seem to always have signal... i think im gonna call up att to get the unlock code so i can use any and all available signals...

NE14SAND Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 <<<<<< will find out in just under 2 weeks Quote
80grit Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Has anyone got 3G signal with AT&T/iphone out there? Quote
White Rhino Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 nope AT&T sux a$$ out there we have a pay per use verizon for just the dunes Quote
desertskyz Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Verison is the only way to go. I always get a signal. Plus, it makes it possible to give and receive Drunk Dials. :drunk2: Sharing is caring. Quote
YFZ350KID Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 what unlock code? i have ATT also and would like to be able to use it at dumont. let me know what you find out depending on if your phone is a world phone you may or may not be able to use signals other than what ATT uses... my phone, a blackjack, can connect to any available digital signal but ATT has it locked so it only uses their frequency. you can get an unlock code from ATT for your specific phone for use outside the US, or outside ATT service areas.

vegas style Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 thanks for the information dont think my current phone is very up to date. but when i pick up a iphone it will be. i will ask about it then. Quote
vegas style Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 fat fingered a double post so here is a chicken Quote
sandawg Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 fat fingered a double post so here is a chicken I have had Sprint and ATT. I have Verizion now. I have always had some service. I just have to move around to find it. Sometimes it even makes a difference if I hold the phone at a certain angle. Same thing at Coral Pink.Have service but had to drive all the way back to the fence at the eastern border. Rumor has it that people always get a signal at the Ranger Station or on the little rock hill as you enter. Quote

I'm sure someone will come up with it. Edited October 20, 2008 by desertskyz Quote
