coverage varies with time. Equipment goes down, they put in new towers or upgrade equipment. The only way to find out is to try, not that the question and info given isn't useful...

Its a long way to drive, only to find a failed signal.
Especially when my 99 year old Grandma is expecting my call :)

im using straight talk and have been all over the mountains up here as i live pretty close to detroit.. mostly cruising the forestry roads on my motorcycle.. i get great coverage in alot of areas, but no coverage in alot of areas, i check every time i stop or wanna take a picture or whatever reasons phones are used, sometimes i think it might just be better to chuck it off a cliff.. i find the higher the elevation is the better the signal, was just up at the devils ridge peak today and had good service and got an email while i was up there, still i put it on airplane mode to conserve battery cause the spotty service
