Cell coverage at the track?

Willard · Post by **Willard** » June 6th, 2006, 12:31 pm

For expo #2 I was without this evil device.

Does Nextel have suitable coverage at the track? I am expecting an important call Tuesday afternoon and wanted to know if the silly phone would work.

Thanks.

I know Sprint and Tmobile (What I have now) have coverage at the track.. Never heard of anyone not getting coverage, so Joo should be fine..

I've never had a problem getting coverage at the track, you'll be fine Will.

What about internets? I think I heard no wireless at the track, what about at the hotel?

If Cingular cell is working I'll have Internet on the phone

acutally...

My phone can be used as a modem, Pat just be sure to have your computer/ lap top installed with Microsoft ActiveSync.
I'm sure we could figure it out.

I wonder if VPN will work over a cell phone

If the other admin is in the office, I won't have to worry about it, since I'll have email on my Blackberry. But if he's gone too, it would be good for me to have internet access.

Worst-case, I might could use telnet over your phone - much thanks!

Michigan is finally civilized. Cell phone coverage should be no problem for all carriers.

Pat for you, No problem.

F'ing A. The other admin is going to be in friggin' GERMANY next week, so it's good to know I can get online if need be.

Last time I had our Verizon cell phone at GingerMan (last year), there was NO coverage.

I just checked the coverage map on their website, and it's right at the edge of their coverage area.
