Live in Illinois, no service at the Indiana Dunes

[scrabble]

Tried to use my iphone 3gs while at the Indiana Dunes this past week -- no service, is this typical? Thanks.

Have you tried disabling 3G for better reception? I have the same problem with dead spots in my area of Illinois. Go to settings>general>network>turn off 3G. Big difference in reception.

Thank you.

I hope this will not interfere with receiving or making calls, will it? I ask because I am going to Mackinac Island Michigan tomorrow and I will be needing my phone. Thanks much.

Greetings Scrabble. No, it will not interfere with any calls, incoming or outgoing. It merely disables 3gs for using the internet. You will still be on the old network, EDGE. I found it works very well, and very little difference on the internet. I get great phone reception, plus a longer battery life. Hope it works as well for you, as it does for me.

Thanks so much. Needless to say, I am a tech-challenged person.
