Verizon Cell Phone Coverage at Patoka Lake

[Moose1am]

Yes, that did help. Thank you. I went with a Verizon prepaid cell phone. I was able to connect with my fishing buddy up at Patoka Lake in his cabin at Wildridge today with my new cell phone. I called him from Evansville, IN and the connection as good.

He is using Cingular though? :( LOL. But most of the people that I know near me are with Verizon so I can call them for free each and every day at any time of the day. I can call my buddy after 9:01PM for free so that works.

My land mine phone has AT&T long distance and for some reason I can't call my buddy's cell phone from my land mine phone at home. But I can call his camp number. Both my land mine and his camp have the same area code. His cell phone area code is different.

I need to call AT&T long distance service Monday and figure out why I am not allowed to call a 502 area cell phone number with my home phone. The phone system sure is getting more and more complicated these days.

I have to jump though a lot of hooks trying to connect with a fishing buddy just to figure out where the fish are located. LOL

My buddy fishes Patoka a lot more than I do so he knows the lake better. I trust his lake knowledge more than mine at Patoka.

I envy the guys that live up by the lake that can fish it more often that most of us.

Regards,

I took the Verizon Cell phone to patoka with me for the first time today. I got good reception sitting in my truck in the parking Lot at the Fisherman's campground. At the bottom of the hill going North into Birdeye I only got one bar and the reception didn't work until I got up the hill and into Birdseye itself. Then the reception was good again. I tested in one other time when on the lake in the Lick Fork Area about Midway between state highway 164 and the ****. Ie just south of the Marina and it got good reception. 3 bars on the screen.

yea I would love to buy one of them log cabins and move up there close to the lake. Only #14,500 for a 1/2 acre lot not counting the log cabin. Hopefully that include the electrical, gas and water to the lot. But that's probably a lot extra. Those Patoka Lake Cabins look nice to me~!
