Yes, it was fantastic!  My major vacations are done out of the country for that reason!

Yes and you're going to suffer major withdrawal, Will Hamm!  Drink plenty of fluids, take an aspirin and a little yoga or meditation may help too!  LOL

Seriously, ENJOY the silence - believe me, I know it's easier said than done!

Believe it or not, our State Association arranged a conference at a location in the woods with very sketchy cell service.  Everyone was huddled in one little corner of the conference center to make calls.  Can you say RIDICULOUS? 

Yeah, Mexico . . . and when I am there I don't want to talk on the phone!

Whenever possible!

Yes, in Italy, and in Mexico, but not yet in the US

No, and that would be tough if you were hoping to get calls or make calls that are business-related Will Hamm .  That being said, I have been in homes that do not have great cell service (and that's even with large companies like Verizon), and have had to move from one end of the house to another just to have a call where people could hear each other without static or just getting random words.   

Yes, we drove to Alaska and much of Canada and several of the towns we stayed in had no coverage. It was kind of hilarious because when we hit a spot of coverage our phones would go crazy with all the messages, emails, texts, calls.-Kasey

OMG...not sure if I could do that!!!! I'd most likely leave..... too much business to be lost....

I never stay in hotels, so no.

  I use 4 different carriers.   Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Century Link.   At least one of them will work.

Enjoy it while it lasts!

How did you get on the internet?  No phone is good for awhile.

No, that would be hard to handle. 

Yes, and it's paradise.

Generally we can get it anywhere, though we do need to do a lot of searching for a signal in the mountains.

But when we are working along the Canadian border, especially in the NE,  the Canadian signal dominates and we need to be very careful so as to not rack up Canadian roaming charges.

I was in a special NAR Board of Directors meeting in Chicago to vote on realtor.com changes. We had to give up our electronics for 3 hours. I began to understand addiction.

Take a break.

Will Hamm It is difficult to stay in a town without cell service.

Sure. 1st thing is to find the highest part of town & see if you can make a call there. Sprint has an app that will tell you where the service is strongest. I'd use something like that.

Will,

follow Debe Maxwell, CRS advice.  We had that happen to us on one of the Greek Islands.  The world did not end...A

Will, I probably would have to get out of that town..I would be going nutsssssssssssssss

I haven't . Enjoy your vacation!

Not recently. But often I wished I could.

You deserve a well-earned phone break which appears to be upon you...Yes?

I have to say no on this one. Verizon?

I have been in hotels that had no signal so pretty close..I'm oikay with it.

We wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Uhm, I live in a town where cell service is spotty I do not get service at MY house but my father and fiance do! It is kinda crazy but also nice I think.  

Repeat to yourself...there's no place like home....there's no place like home.  

Yes.

no

Since you have internet access perhaps a VOIP phone (like ooma.com) would be useful?

An entire town that has no cell service? Yikes!

Will Hamm - well, I was at a walk-through today with no signals from my service provider!

And I was almost outside the home all the time!

Yes, in South Texas.  

Yes, it was called Europe.

My American phone didn't work...thank God!

When on vacation, there's no need for a phone outside of the hotel phone for planning excursions.

Yes, out west and in Alaska

Oh yes and it does drive you crazy. This too shall pass.

No. But I am still going nuts ... does that count? 

No, but love cruises for that reason. No contact and brain rest!

We have a lot of that in our area. Try opening an electronic key if your smart phone is not updated...

Will Hamm No problems with no cell phone service, but had to go outside of the building a few times to make a call. I once went to a convention where my service provider was the only service available.

I have not.  But remember don't go nuts looking for bolts.

Here in NH we have some "dead areas" and it is like going back in time to be in an area with no cell or wireless
