I have Verizon and I've had good reception except on the east side of the trail and in some places on the west side. I haven't crossed the north side with my phone so can't say about the reception there. Good reception up the trail from Climber's Bivouac, at least above the trees. Reception is good on top of St. Helens, too.

With AT&T, virtually none. Certainly nothing to count on.

Should've added, this development could offer some better hope on the south side...

With Verizon, poor reception on the south and west sides. Virtually none on the north until I got to the SW side....but that was a few years ago....
