Cell Phone Coverage

I assume the answer is no, but, does anyone know if there is coverage in Coyote Buttes?

CB South, no coverage. I did not try in the north area.

I'll be South, those North permits are tough!
Thanks

I think you can rent a sat phone pretty cheaply with no minutes, then you only pay if you need to use it in a emergency.

Kermit, the South Buttes are not THAT remote that I would worry about cell phone coverage. I have visited that area numerous times and I have always met other hikers/photographers.

It was more for calling home to say good night to my daughter. :-) I'll be with a group.
