Richard Cheese Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 it also helps if you have cellular service out there ( you cingular!!) to place an effen call. I have found only verison works out there because they have the contract for the call boxes from Baker to Dumont road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found only verison works out there because they have the contract for the call boxes from Baker to Dumont road I know a friend who has sprint, that also works out there! Some people have said that goin to the top of the big dunes also helps with cell service I believe. just not sure which carriers.

I have been working with BLM on having cars with radios in them to be able to contact Rangers on radios at this time It seem like they are going to change their Radios to have maybe 2 freaks on their Radios Let s Hope so We will have a way to get in touch them and save some time for someone who is hurt Please pass this on I will inform everyone later on what Channels They Pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also note the camp host (Don and Ellen in the motorhome near bathroom 10/ all season) have an emergency radio to contact the BLM rangers as well.

Kitcat Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 That would be great to have an emergency radio for the rangers. Thanks for the info Pete. We will keep this handy. By the way, we have Verizon and my work phone is Sprint. Both work at Dumont. We camp either near bathroom 3 or 9 and get 4 bars at each. It makes it very handy, esp when you have peeps meeting you out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwtdiesel Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 My AT&T does not work at dumont. I'll be getting a verison phone to carry while at dumont. I hate AT&T just keep it cause were on a good family plan that was grandfathered in when alltel was the old owner of AT&T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandawg Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 As mentioned when this post started some time ago. Most cells will work if you can find the proper location. Up on the dunes, some work on top of what some call telephone hill. The hill just as you go towards vendor row. Even Verizon doesn't work well unless you are in line with the tower. We have to go down the bluff to the end of vendor row to get our Verizon to work properly. Over the years I've had several different phones and companies and was able to get most to work somewhere at the dunes. Just none as well as Verizon.

DirtBikeGuy Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 My verizon phones have always worked awesome out there. I usually have 4G LTE on my iPad when we camp out by bathroom 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakster884 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Verizon is the only way to go. No need to go searching for service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
