Wireless coverage in Piney Point

[Riddler]

I have Verizon Wireless and the phone works fine in Lexington Park, but when I head down Piney Point road I lose service around Tall Timbers. I took the phone into the Verizon store and the tech rep there said that Piney Point was a "fringe" area and didn't have good coverage. The Verizon coverage map indicates I should get reception there but I don't.

My question is does anyone live in that area that uses a cell phone and has good reception.

Thanks in advance.

Sometimes if you hold your left foot in the air while holding your right hand straight out in front of you you might get a signal but you have to do this while standing on a step stool.

Sometimes if you go to the boat ramp you can get a great signal or even in the Evans parking lot. Other than that your pretty much sol.

You are out of luck. There was talk of a tower across the river this year. That would increase signal strength, but have not heard anything more about it being put up.

I think that plan got nixed.

New here so I don't know if this is being done right. However, ATT/Cingular wireless has great coverage in the Valley Lee/Drayden area.

Not until you get past Chiefs place though, around the Valley Lee Firehouse.
