Researching areas for an elk hunt in Montana this fall.For those of you that have been in the Little Belts, Castle Mountains, and/or Crazy Mountains what level of cell phone service did you receive and what cell carrier do you recommend.

I was in area in 2013. Cell service was very spotty. Most reliable was to drive into Harlowton. Verizon.
I would NOT depend on any cell phone as a safety device in that part of MT.

Mixedbag and Runtnut say you'll get a great signal. Huntman says it's really shaky.
Probably somewhere in between depending on exactly where you are. lmao

Pick up a Inreach and you wont need a phone and you will have a way to contact anyone if you need to....

I have Verizon and its the one reason I won't switch carriers. In Colorado I had service almost to the trailhead and in New Mexico I had it pretty much during the whole hunt. My son has Sprint and he doesn't have service once we hit the edge of the mountains. But like others have stated, you can't count on having service while in the mountains.

It's very spotty and white sulphur or harlowtown will be you best bet.
LOL Joe.
