I have AT&T as service provider and my phone used to work in Tuolumne (around grocery store) until last weekend (06/15-16). I checked with others - no GSM phones work there anymore. Does anyone know what's going on? Is it temporary or permanent?

P.S. CDMA (Virizon and Sprint) seem to be fine...

It probably rained.

The AT&T tower up there is infamous for going dead every time it gets wet. Usually back up in a few days.

Thanks, that really helps - I was already considering changing service provider. Generally, it looks like Verizon works much better in the park, right?

Why would Verizon work better in the Park?

Verizon has roam agreement in the park with the ATT cell tower.

If ATT doesn't work in the park then Verizon won't either.

They're both working off the same tower .......

Because Verizon is better than AT&T.....
