AT&T is on tower across the road and possibly Verizon. Honestly, i miss the days going up there and be completely disconnected from the rest of the world via phone the entire weekend.

All phones do have a power button!! So you can still be disconnected, if you choose!! Which is the best way! To have the ability to have a signal & choose not to use it, verses wanting a signal & it's unavailable! At the World, we had TMobile and Boost( Sprint I believe) not work on data! And the battery like was much worse out there too!

Sprint blows everywhere.. in the entire world.. I’ve had straight talk last two years and get perfect service Thursday and Friday.. but come Saturday it gets pretty slow.

I had a Sprint based third party phone when I started my last job in 2015... darn near got fired because dispatch couldn't get in touch with me for three days!

Sprint freaking sucks at Eldora. About drove me nuts in September not being able to look at the weather on my phone. I guess in the end it didn’t matter though. That was a washout like I’ve never saw before

Yes sir. Completely blows there. You may find one spot that has good service, but mostly non existent.

Clayton_ Wetter...not necessarily that. What if there was an emergency and someone couldn't get a hold of you? Think about it in that thought process. I know after the last 2 months, I'm glad that I have a phone with service because there WAS an emergency!!! I have verizon and that works great out in Eldora.

I have Sprint and it doesn't work at Eldora. Which I'm ok with, that way my wife can't bitch at me for being at the races.
