When I am down there picking up supplies from venders my AT&T work cell does a pretty good job.My personal Sprint cell phone seems like I always get data coverage. this would be around the Hospital to the safeway store section.
If I go south and on into Needles to catch I-40 never had a issue. But along the river towards Golden Shores Topock not much is going to help in there.

Thanks. My cell is hit or miss near King St and 95 on the mountain side.

My employer years ago provided call phones from each carrier and drive our area which was from Ashfork - Seligman -Truxton and on through Bullhead and Havasu to Wikieup. At that time it was AT&T and Sprint was 2nd best with Verizon not so good out west. By now they have put in new towers and upgraded.
IF I did not travel and stayed local then Mohave Wireless would be a choice, though a friend just used his Mohave phone up into Yellowstone with no problems. This accounts to the fact that they are partially controlled by Verizon.

Made three trips past King Street today on 95 Sprint had some coverage but not much data my AT&T phone was pretty strong. Was weird coming in from Needles and watching signal strength on both phones. Sometimes Sprint was winner sometimes it was AT&T quite a cycle

I had Sprint for about 12 years. They promised, promised and promised they'd be adding towers soon. I finally gave Sprint up and went with T-Mobile. Now, at least, I don't have to drive to 95 to get signal. I can actually talk on my cell inside my house. Sometimes.

Hubs has a company phone with Verizon. He says the signal's a bit better at home than T-Mobile.

Moral of the story is...if you live amongst the farm fields in Mohave Valley like I do, you don't have reliable signal. But, I guess it's reliable enough in my driveway when I have to call Suddenlink (Sudden-Death) because I have no land line because it died.
