cellphone clipartDetails, details, details - relocating is a real exercise in attention to them.  One frequently overlooked (but quickly frustrating) thing is learning where your cell phone will or will not work in a new area.

In the Tucson area, cell coverage is generally pretty good, but given the fact that our metro encompasses over 195 square miles and has mountain ranges at all 4 points of the compass - there are some quirks and dead spots for all of the carriers.

Below are the major carriers who have service in the Tucson Metro Area - click on the picture below your carrier to see how the coverage is in the area you want to live:

If you don't have an address in mind yet - just plug in 1630 E. River Road, Tucson, AZ 85718 - that's my office. At least you'll know how your wireless coverage is when you come to see me!

of posting this blog, their
coverage map online was not
functioning properly - maybe
their coverage is better than
their website!

 

It may seem a minor detail, but being aware is better than being frustrated - especially in the first few weeks of moving to a new town...plus it might just save you some money when your "Angels-In-Training" think they can pull the old "my phone doesn't work in this town.  I want a NEW one!" trick on you.

I love working with clients from out-of-town.  It is a special thrill to show them the Tucson that I love and cherish...and guarantee that I and my associates will do everything we can to make your transition as hassle-free as possible.

Kent -

You know, you never think about stuff like cell coverage until you move into a new place - either a city like Tuscon, or a high-rise condo building here in Chicago - and realize is service is spotty.  Very frustrating!

Thanks for reminding us we have to remember to check out the little things!

Stop by or call anytime!

Wow, this post is a great idea. I think i may do something like this for my website.

I recently moved to a new office and it is directly underneath a cell tower (disguised as a tree). Unfortunately the tower is owned by Verizon and I am on ATT so my poor blackberry tends to get over powered and drop calls.

This is a very important thing -- for us we have T-mobile as it is the only service that will ring in our house.

Robert - here's a link to find where actual towers are by county, city or MSA:  http://bit.ly/10AMZl

Bob & Carol - its kind of crazy how different building materials can affect different signal strata - I've noticed that my phone works in some buildings it didn't used to with another carrier...and vice-versa (even when I get full "bars" outside)!
