If your in a area with no signal

On Verizon's 4G phones with SIM cards, *228 doesn't work...putting your phone in and out of airplane mode causes it to look for it's closest tower on it's preferred network list (which is updated automatically on their 4G system)

 

I've had the air plane mode on/off work for me a few times with Verizon. But for the most part my phone is pretty good about having a signal when there is one available. 90% of the time if I dont have a signal,.. I'm in a dead spot and there simply isnt one to be had.

or you could do this..

No such thing as no signal for AT&T or Verizon with this setup...

 

Do you think I could get service going up highway ID-12 heading towards Lo Lo pass with this set up?

 

I have a cradle style booster and run that area all the time.
I have signal most of the time. Some areas just have no towers.

 

I had service along us 12 running parallel to interstate 90 down to Lewiston Idaho out of Montana most of the way ..

Yes I'm talking from kooskie up to lolo pass, it's up the mountain.

 

I used to take the back road to get around all the scales but I don't know the names of the landmarks out there from what I remember though I had signal the whole way. The key is to get your antenna up as high as possible over the roof

Newer phones might also help.

My samsung s6 has much better coverage then my samsung note2 did. Apparently verizon has new types of cells for their new LTE signal. That don't work with my samsung note2 that was bought 2 1/2 years ago.

You DO have to make sure HD voice is activated on your account, though. Or you'll miss a lot of coverage and you can't surf the net while talking. Learned that my first week out with the new phone.
