| yeah i-87 is horrible!
after lake george it gets really bad. i went to plattsburgh this weekend and as NY'ers know its pretty desolate on the way there after lake george. sooo i couldn't use my phone most of the way there. in plattsburgh the service was weird. in & out / couldnt text for like 5 min sometimes/ 0-1-5 bars randomly. then i would go to the place where i got the 5 bars before and no service. sooo idk. i believe i was on roaming with Rodgers(CA based company) or UniCell. one time i called 611 and it said my carrier does not support this feature on the Rodgers Network. but its weird because at&t always had full features use on Rodgers. idk. |

| You were probobly on Unicell. Give AT&T some time they are going to gain some spectrum up there when Verizon Wireless takes over Rural Cellular Communications when approved. Verizon Wireless struck a deal with the state of New York in April to work with the APA on building a network up the Northway. Yes the service is tough north of Scroon Lake even with a 3 watt setup and external antenna. |

Hang-up and drive. Or if you're a passenger, enjoy the scenery. |

Wake Up! |

Have you actually seen them? Last time I was up there, the sign posts were there and the phones were gone. |

| They activated a whole new solar-powered wireless emergency phone system earlier this year. They recently modified the signs to indicate that cellular coverage is minimal, along with the "no 24-hour fuel next 75 miles" signs. |
