Cell coverage at the track?

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..

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

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.

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.
