Richard Cheese Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Ive been wanting to get cell service @D for years now. I decided i would try a tracfone on walmart.com, I found a special on a motorola phone for 9.96...shipped to the door with tax came to 13 dollars here is what came in the box it even came with a douche belt clip, head phones and a car charger/ it came free with 10 minutes, and I can add airtime with airtime cards, even over my phone. Anyway, the people at tracfone PROMISED me that i WILL get service @ D, and that if I dont, i can get my money back if I want. so...here it goes..I will be leaving next wednesday, so I should know by next Wednesday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

termiteslayer Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I called AT&T and told them about the lack of service outside of Baker and at Dumont. They said for everyone to call AT&T and complain!! Tell them other services work and you are going to switch if service is not available soon. The only way they consider new cell towers is by complaints of no service. SO CALL AT&T AND COMPLAIN I DID! South Pole Rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Pole Rules you have to remember why Verizon works out there. they have the contract for the emergency phones along the 127...thats the ONLY reason Verizon works at the D I dont think the Govt is going to let anyone build a cell site in Death Valley. I did what you suggested a couple years ago...called AT and T, wrote letters.. fuggers never called or wrote me back either I like AT and T except for the Dumont slip up.....for almost 13 dollars, and an aircard whenever i want to use the phone, ill settle with that , as it is cheaper for me to do that, than to switch over to Verizon (the wife and I have been with AT and T since before we got married back in 97, and have a killer rate plan that is no longer offered by either company) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been with them since 1998 and the plan i have is no longer available. I can not even come close to upgrade with out paying double for a few extra minutes. Plus roll over rocks. I have over 5000 roll over available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
