Title: Looking For Info On Services In North Fairfax

There are some people who live in the area of Luke's Place Rd & Shelby's Way Rd that have no cell phone reception with their carrier, no internet, no home phone.

Anyone have any idea who might service that area for those services and if they are available??

We live on West Street. We use only cell service (no home service) through AT & T and the service is very clear. For internet we use GlobalNet which is very inexpensive and is quicker than dial up.

Henry,
AT&T bought the Unicel license which covers the area. The tower is on Fairfield Hill just north of the radar site. Verizon has a tower on the north side of Hardack (Spelling?) Hill which does not reach over the ridge.
Others have commented above about the coverage so I thought I would mention tower location.

Justin, if you have a friend that has AT&T, you might want to invite them to your house and give it a try - I don't think Ron lives very far from you, plus he is pretty knowledgeable about Cell Phone Service, so I am sure you can get service with AT&T
