@resops Trout Creek has 3g and LTE coverage. You said east of that, so your guess is as good as anyone. There can be weak spots in coverage area.

I can attest to that - I live in an area that is supposedly covered, but the signal is kinda crappy. 😕

Sometime when at the edge of coverage, results can be variable. Don't forget, your phone is part of the coverage equation. Some phones have better cell radios than others. Newer phones are generally better than older ones.

Well, that's just it, although I wouldn't say we're exactly "at the edge of coverage" here, at least according to the coverage map, BUT I expect those maps are approximations, at best.

Yeah, that's why I intend to stick my PM SIM in my wife's phone, since it's a couple of generations newer..... will see if that makes any diff.
