Quote:We have always been able to use our Verizon phones in Arnold at the shopping center, ACE area, etc. For a while our femtocell (network extender) allowed us to use our Verizon cellphones at the cabin in BTV until whatever happened between Verizon and Golden State happened, and service was discontinued. We will be back up in a couple days and will reinstall the femtocell and report. Sadly I am not optimistic.
This is not a Verizon phone and up until yesterday it had never worked until I got down the hill, out of the Golden State coverage area. This is a device that uses the Verizon mobile data service, not digital voice. The Verizon coverage map still shows no coverage in our area but I tested it again today and it does indeed work.

Hi Joe,
My Verizon cell has always worked in the shopping center and most locations in Arnold.
However, in 25 years it has only worked once in BTV. That was when I had one of those old brick cell phones that had a lot of power and it only worked the one time probably 20 years ago.
Does anybody have a cell phone service that does work consistently in BTV?
My Comcast bill has gotten out of site and we would like to find ways to cut down on the phone / Internet / Cable TV bill. $120 per month for a second home is ridiculous.

FYI, I noticed for the first time yesterday that my Verizon MiFi (hot spot) worked in Arnold. It has never done so before. I suspect that Golden State has either upgraded their towers, revised their agreement with Verizon, or both. Those of you who had previously tried your Verizon nano-cells (or whatever they are called) and found that they didn't work up here might give it another try.
