Q: What cell phone carriers have reception at the Resort?
A: AT&T/Cingular and Sprint/Nextel are the only carriers that provide service in the Raystown Lake area. There is not a Verizon cellular tower in the area and Verizon service is intermittant. We plan to have a net extender in service on the main floor of the conference center, however there will be no signal priority, therefore Verizon access inside the building will be limited at best.
