The Koodo coverage map seems pretty accurate.<br /><br />I had good 3G service in Cortes Bay and through the entire length of Homfray Channel. Pryce Channel was spotty. Raza Passage was good. I'm at Stuart Island Community Dock right now with 5 bars of 3G.<br /><br />I didn't have service at either Homfray Lodge or Toba Wildernest (although it worked a few hundred yards out from both docks!), but both marinas have WiFi.<br /><br />A cell phone booster helps, too. I've been testing a Wilson Mobile Pro. It gives a 2-3 bar increase in signal strength. I'd opt for the Wilson Sleek, though, since I have to put my phone on top of the Mobile Pro to see any increased signal strength. This is also true with the Sleek, but it actually has a cradle for this purpose.<br /><br />Hope that helps...<br /><br />SamSam Landsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17878298159523197633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832512108209565355.post-75122231882883212932013-06-09T16:26:10.598-07:002013-06-09T16:26:10.598-07:00Hi Sam, I am a longtime annual Waggoner purchaser ...Hi Sam, I am a longtime annual Waggoner purchaser and am enjoying your reports. I am particularly curious as to how the Koodo sim is working out in Desolation Sound. Are you shut out on reception much? Can you use the data in most places? <br /><br />We are planning a trip for August and were looking into Koodo's service. Sounds like a decent way to go for just a one month duration.<br /><br />Thanks and looking forward to reading more.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10818428864280602740noreply@blogger.com
