Virgin Mobile Compliment - Does Not Work in Adams WI - Cell Phone Co

Cell Phone Co - Compliment
Review by bella1234 on 2011-07-05
Went to Adams WI it is 24 miles north of Wis Dells WI on vacation with family for 4 days. Could not receive any phone service at all. Cheap but what good is it was going to throw in Wis river. I have emailed Virgin mobile 3 days ago with no reply from them paid till 28th after that get rid of and get real phone.

Please take a moment to reconsider throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Many rural or minimally inhabited areas lack a signal or have very weak reception, these are known as dead zones. There are several factors that could affect service in your situation, not the least of which are no nearby towers and obstructions such as trees and foliage. This is a location issue.

What ript said. Just check out your providers coverage area before you change.

Agreed with the above comments. Otherwise, Virgin Mobile is the best pre-paid carrier with cheap plan rates! I recently took a trip to the Blue Ridge Parkaway in NC and the Virgin Mobile service works great up there!

It may have been the coverage area instead of the phone. Previously had Cingular--had to switch to Verizon as they were the only company that had coverage where we liked to camp. Needed to have phone access.

C'mon, Bella! Give Virgin Mobile a second chance! On July 19th, Virgin Mobile will be releasing a new Android phone and you betcha I'll be getting my grubby hands on one!

Guess the phone would be in the same category as Karls Cabins, right?
