Experiencing dropped calls, poor reception and dead zones can be more than a little frustrating. When you need to make a call in an emergency or to conduct important business, it is absolutely critical to have reliable cell phone service.

Unfortunately, there are many stories of poor cell service that could have saved a life, prevented a crime or helped a business better serve its customers if it had been improved.

Do you have a similar story of poor rural cell phone service that failed you? Or do you just wish you could get a reliable signal at home/in the car/on the job/on vacation?
