Peggy, there are places where location (or altitude) makes no difference in cell phone reception. It's all dependent on "line of sight" to a cell tower. I've considered approaching one of the cell companies about building a tower at the top of the big hill on our place. We have to drive about half a mile to get a reliable cell signal. Fortunately, the land line service is pretty good, and should get better once the fiber optic system that's partially complete around here finally goes online.
Get John off his behind and come visit us- - - - -soon!
