Hey Jeff your phone must be on to have any reception.

 

When he's thirsty for a beer, Mark doesn't use full sentences.....:beer

 

A funny sight seen at the Dragon was all the people at the dam overlook talking on cell phones. Sort of a new age phone booth. From what I was told it was the only place ATT phones worked. :crazy:

 

I had phone reception there last year, so I suggest you switch to Verizon like I have. :cornut:

I don't have Verizon or any of the big name providers. However, I had great reception on top of the Fontana Dam [parking lots at their highest points or on the dam itself], and was able to make calls successfully.

 

I give the front desk number to my family and let them know what room I am in. In the event of an emergency the family can contact the front desk who will then relay a message.

I have no idea if Fontana Village has increased the capacity or not over last year but I found it was adequate enough for me to use the laptop to keep tabs on M/A.

If you have a smart phone it may be a good idea to visit Google Voice, grab a phone # and have that send you a text. .

 

There is a phone on our cabin, 2 bedrooms, but I think you may have to go through the lodge to call out . I'll check.

 

I have Verizon and seldom if at all had any service around the lodge last year.... had to be on drives or down towards Robbinsville to get full services...

 

My phone is "on" when I WANT it to be. I only use it for emergencies...not for daily use or chitchat.

 

But .....when you turn it on do you still have to climb the pole in Piqua???

I believe there 3 poles with phones there. Big city ya know...

 

We have AT&T and the only place at Fontana we could get reception was a small patch of grass on top of the dam.

 

Damn! :crazy:

 

we're here now and my sprint phone has reception

 

If someone on Verizon gets there early please give us an update. Secondly, how is Internet service?

 

From what I have read Mark it is slow....

 

I'm laying in bed after pulling out my back this morning setting up registration , but I do have internet service in my cabana room. You should be able to get internet by the Wildwood Grill and the in the Main Lodge as well

 

Thanks Snooter that helps.

 

Get Better Barry!!!
