Last year when I did the "canyon tour" through Utah, I couldn't
believe the service from Verizon it was great. This is not a plug for
Verizon. At the end of the month they all get us!

Is the OP using an analog or digital AT&T? I've had pretty good luck
using a hybrid AT&Whee cell around Green River and Moab as I pass thru
every now and then.

You *could* always find the boundary of service, then move back
inside and call them as you head slowly to the loss of service
all the while repearing "Can You Hear Me Now?"
