It's amazing the differences in service between companies, I have a VZW and Tmob BB, at my camp in Ossipee I can see the tower for both yet get 4 bar on the VZW phone and lucky to have 1 on the Tmob roaming off the unicell tower. Sometimes I walk around the yard hoping it connects long enough to download my email.

Try it really early in the morning. I stayed on Moosehead last summer and had no signal at all for phone or data. Second morning the phone was on the charger so it would not kill the batt and it started downloading email and text at about 5:00am. I have no idea why at only that time but it was the only time the entire 7 days that any info came in or went out. I just responded to everything and then let it sit until the next cycle, which was the next morning or sometimes really late at night.
I could occationally sneek out a text, but that was it for any other time during the day. It was the same way in Colorado, no service, but could squeak out a text every once and a while. Must use a lower bandwidth or something. Anyway give it a try. I am on US Cell.
Didn't bother me at all not to have service, but sometimes business cannot wait a week or a weekend.
