Cell Phone Coverage on the trail?

Is there decent coverage on the trail? Any dead spots that you know of?

It really bugs me when I am riding along the katy trail, chatting on the cell phone, text messaging and then I hit a dead spot and I lose my connection. Sometimes it takes me 10 minutes of riding to get out of the dead spot! ARRGGH!! And then there is the tunnel in rocheport, don't get me started there!

Cell phone coverage isn't great on the Trail. I have Verizon and there are lots of dead spots -
in fact, I would say there are more dead spots than not. Sharon

I have the same reception problem with my bike's wide-screen tv.

Jim, try a trailer with a satellite dish. :-)

I concur regarding cell phone coverage - very spotty (T-Mobile). A long time ago I wanted to try to map out where I could get a signal, but when I'm riding I couldn't remember to keep checking for a signal.

Ray, There's no room in the trailer....the 5000w generator takes up all of the space.
