Cell phones and GSM coverage

BroadHopper · 03-08-2005, 01:27 PM

CDMA coverage (Verizon Wireless) is just about everywhere along the Interstates. The Lakes Region is covered as well. The only time I would lose coverage is along the Kangamangus Highway or Crawford Notch. I think that is pretty good. I have a tri mide phone and rarely does it switch to analog. Only time that happened is pass Newfound lake heading toward Lebanon. Unless they expand GSM coverage, go for CDMA/TDMA.

I have GSM (AT&T) and would echo most of Grant's comments. Last summer I could not get a usable signal anywhere around the lake, not even in downtown Laconia.

It may be improving a bit. I was able to get a very weak, sometimes usable signal in New Durham this past weekend, but only on a high spot on the road from the lake into Alton. Nothing usable in Wolfeboro.
