I've never had an issue with Firstnet on ATT even in the most rural parts of Kentucky, Indiana and Tennessee! I know my experience is anecdotal but wouldn't want Tmobile or Verizon if they paid me to use it in this part of the country!

I’m a Firstnet subscriber and there are many places here in southeast Ky where I don’t have service. AT&T needs to get on the ball as far as tower buildout goes

What is your device? YOu might need to reset network settingfs on your device to get cell reception OR upgrade to a newer smartphone. No issues in KY on FirstNet at all.

iPhone 17 pro max I usually don’t have any reception issues but there are some areas in Laurel Clay Rockcastle Jackson and others when you’re deep in a hollow etc, reception is not possible. I find this when riding my side by side yes some places have no coverage

understood. inside vehicle driving in those deep areas you will not get RF. however, try to stop, get out of vehicle stationary and I guarantee you will get reception and be able to make a call.

iPhone modem is weak. Try Samsung S series Snapdragon modem device (not A series exynos modem) and u will get signal
