    Actually, we had cell phone service up to the Port Hardy area, then again
    once past Queen Charlotte Sound. Being in the wireless business, we carried
    several cell phones with us and found that, although the coverage was
    different between the A and B sides, it was roughly equal. Once you get
    into sparsely populated areas, coverage is spotty, up through BC and SE
    Alaska. I suggest you carry either Verizon or AT&T or best yet, both. BTW,
    there are also areas where, even though you have good signal strength, that
    particular provider does not have reciprocal agreements with your carrier
    and you can't use their service.

    Good luck,

    Bob Lowe

    Last time I was in the area, cell phone service stopped north of Desolation
    Sound.
