working at the Big Hole Battlefield visitor center last week,
and this was outside, still has dial tone and works
cell service is very spotty in that area

Almost the only phone that works out there!

what is funny is out front of the building in the parking lot, maybe 1 bar, if you're lucky.
go around back of the building and you get 4 bars and great service, but no public access.

There's one at the top of Lolo pass as well. Still functional. A group of tourists were up there ranting and raving about seeing it. Bunch of city dwellers in their young 20's, acting like they just struck gold.
