AT&T Cell Phone Service in Meredith?

[JanN]

Can you tell me if AT&T has provided any cell phone service to the Meredith area or any service to the north side of the lake? For the past four years we have been vacationing off of Stonedam Island Road on Meredith Neck and cannot get any cell phone coverage. I usually have to drive down Parade Rd heading toward Laconia before I can get a signal. Our friends have Verizon and have no trouble. What do people with expensive IPods do?
