Take Care in Choosing Your Cellular Provider in South Mississippi + Photos

One awesome aspect of living in the Gulf Coast is that you scenery can change quickly, as well as methods of relaxing. Incidentally, your cellular service may also change quickly. Along Highway 90 and town areas North of I-10 you should have no problems with signal strength.

When you get into the rural areas of Hancock and Harrison Counties, you should plan in advance for lack of signal, particularly if you are AT&T subscribers. I hear from locals who have lent me their phones when my AT&T signal is nonexistent that Verizon, Cellular South and Boost Mobile are better choices for rural areas.

(Most services work well near the coast, even out on the water from what I hear.)

Do not expect AT&T service in rural Hancock and Harrison counties.

I hope others will comment here about their cellular experiences in South Mississippi.

I don't think you can rely on AT&T anywhere! I have many problems with that cellular provider. But I would gladly change my provider for a great place to live

From the desk of David Dee,

Suzi, how's it going! :D Nice to see you around. I had T-mobile about a year ago and switched to Sprint and so far so good. Had some issues with dropped calls while with T-mobile. As far as AT&T, I have a friend in NY who experienced the same problem.

David, I missed you. I will check your blog and see what's been going on. As far as cellular service, I have learned the hard way that plans to meet or specific appointments need to be made as if you had no cell phone. It can be kind of nice and peaceful unless an appointment is going down the tubes:-)

I usually am blessed in the end though. It is a good way to meet the real locals. I think it is a privilege to live with the folks in rural Harrison and Hancock counties. Overall, I would say they are thoughtful and will go out of their way to help someone, even if you don't ask for help. My goodness, I guess I just said, "My experience has been that rural Mississippians offer assistance if they see a person challenged by anything--weather, flat tires, dead cellular service."

PS: I love your new logo. D squared. Powerful:-)
