How has people's cell reception been in Olympic National Park, specifically in Hoh Rainforest and along Upper Hoh Road, and the various trails along here? I've checked the coverage maps for Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, and it seems like Verizon is the best, but I wanted to know what people's real world experience has been using them along the trails. Also what has been people's experience using a cell signal booster in here? I'd immensely like to be able to call and possibly text in here if possible. If I could accomplish anything it'd be to be able to make and receive consistent calls and possibly also texts while on the trails. Data in any form I don't have to have, though obviously it would be nice if I could achieve that to. The same questions go for the various beaches, such as Ruby, Rialto, Second, etc.

Don't plan on using your phone a lot. I have Verizon and it was really hit and miss. Mostly miss. My girlfriend has T-Mobile and hers was worse. We visited the past September and were all over the park.
