Is there any cell service in Valemount alpine areas

[jaws]

Just wondering if there are any areas where you could get cell service in the alpine around valemount.

no service in the backcountry, and if you have a cell on the rogers system it wont work in town either. its unfortunate.

Some higher spots in Allen Creek and Clemina have cell service, if your with telus.

Just don't forget to shut the phone off after using it.

Got good service near Avalanche Alley back in December 3 bars. My Friend was actually Face timing his wife while we were climbing.

I have to ask why ? Can't be away from the dam thing for a few hrs?
I pack mine for pictures with it turned on air plane mode.
Sat phone for emergency purposes.

why not

on a side note its good to familiarize yourself with locations that have service. maybe your crew doesnt have a sat phone and you cant always depend on them anyways. backup plan

I used to carry mine on airplane mode, but , after talking to guys who just took a avy course, I'll now be leaving it off , just turning it on to take pics . It was demonstrated to them that on airplane mode it doesn't interfere with the transmit function , but does interfere with the search function. Easier to just turn it off and back on to take a pic than risk it causing an issue in an emergency.

Why? Was looking for a periodic update if possible to a family injury that crept up while we were 6 hrs away from home. We were going to pack up and head out but were encouraged to stay until more info was available .Also thought it might be good info. Thats all , just logical thinking .

To old school I guess ? good points .

My phone works great @ Westridge....

Like others have said, lots of service at the higher elevations in Allen. At 7480ft I actually had full LTE service (Telus)...I was shocked.

You never know when you will have an uncontrollable urge to post a selfie on Facebook.

Phone came in handy yesterday at Allen. Had a code come up for the exhaust sensor and called Alpine Motorsports and they had the part , rushed down and installed it made it back for awesome afternoon in trees. Was on hold for 10 minutes while they looked for the part. That would have been expensive sat phone call.
