Seems as though every year I never have cell phone service inside the venue! I've been thinking about picking up a prepaid phone for the weekend. Any recommendations? I can get a Tracfone with like 400 minutes on it for $20....

In my experience, reception sucks everywhere in the Gorge, regardless of carrier or type of phone for the most part. You and your group would be better off spending that money on walkie-talkies

That's the only way I found my friends was via text for the most part. I didn't spend a lot of time doing it, but it was handy to find each other.

I had Sprint last year and I got reception in the campground but once I entered the venue it was completely gone. That made things difficult when trying to find people. I have AT&T now so we will see how that goes this year.

AT&T has always worked decently enough for me everywhere except for near the main stage. It completely drops off once you go into the pit area.
