   Speaking of cell network coverage, there's an interesting App for iPhone called: Coverage?. Available from the Apple store. Don't know if there's a version for Android. It overlays the individual carriers' published maps so it might be subject to some marketing claims, but it's not biased toward any particular carrier. You can choose the type of service such as 2G, 3G, 4G or LTE. It does cost a few bucks, but it's informative. The Verizon advantage over AT&T is dramatic outside of the East. 

And I'm with AT&T! Hmmmmmm

	The book that Fwunder mentioned also described that program. In fact the authors created that program, but alas, I am an Android fan. So, no program for me, so far. I have ordered a Wilson cradle and signal booster from Amazon, after hearing from a few others how well it works. Looking forward to visiting some out of the way scenic campgrounds. With the booster, I should be able to get data almost anywhere. This is the address for the book that was extremely informative. http://www.gonewiththewynns.com/mobile-internet. Safe Travels.

	I am an addict to the internet. As first time campers when we could not figure something out (water heater etc) and I could not get connected to this website, I was crazed. So my husband went the next week and bought a mifi. It was wonderful, but when it quit working a couple of years later, Verizon told us to just use our cellphone as a hotspot and we never noticed a difference. Surprisingly we don't use as much data as I thought we would. Wifi is always disappointing in the campgrounds and we use our phones as hotspots. We even watched a tv show on the iPad while we were Walmart camping before entering Yellowstone last summer. Being in Yellowstone was wonderful, but a forewarning, there is practically no cell phone service and definitely cannot pull in any data on your phone. Even our satellite phone through OnStar would not work. So if you go there plan on being off the grid.
