I recently went on a weekend trip to Leakey, Texas. Was I drove up there I noticed that I lost all signal to my phone. It seems that a good portion of the Texas Hill Country has no Verizon service. Thankfully, the location I was at had some WiFi (very little). I have been all over this country (an out of the country) and always had service. It was very strange for me not to have service just an hour and a half away from my home.
