Cell phone coverage at Smithville?
I'm thinking about getting a cell phone so I can fish late without causing worries at home... And for emergency communication.
Those of you who use your cell phones on the lake... How good is the coverage of the Smithville area? What provider do you use?
"Honey, the crappie just started biting... No, that's not a juke box... It must be the radio on that pontoon boat across the cove... Yes, I hear girls laughing... They must be on the pontoon too... "
needed a cell once out on Truman

I was night fishing out on Truman a couple of years ago when a pontoon boat tied up a couple 100 feet from us (maybe more). They were out partying. My wife (now my ex) and I could hear them very plain.
They had this one girl on there that was not going along with there program. We could hear her saying NO, NO I will not do that, No leave me alone. The guys kept on her and telling her is was a long swim to shore and the dock even more.
Thats the only time I have missed having my cell phone again. I got ride of it 3 or 4 years ago but have been thinking of getting another one.
She must have done what they wanted her to because she got quite and never heard anyone in the water.
