Geez, folks, were not that remote anymore. Really. I have a lot of salepeople visiting me with various cell phone services including Sprint and I'm all the way up here in the sticks of Northern Maine. Their phones work fine except for a few black out spots in very remote areas. By the way, you'll be happy to know that Maine has now updated utilities to include fresh running hot and cold water and flush toilets for you flatlander folks from "away".
