Carrier	Address	Comment	Date Added
Verizon	1381 19th Ave NE	Weak signal Dropped calls	2014
T-Mobile	181 S and K Rd	Drops all calls at the bridge, with little to no service afterwards in the the Bethlehem area. There is z or At&t service, but for some reason the phone won't let me use the towers. I can't even manually activate the possibility. I can sometimes receive texts and once in a blue moon send texts, but it's never consistent. . .and I have to go back into Hickory to actually be able to contact anyone by voice.	2015
