Although I am not too happy about now having to see people in the store or at the pub with a phone connected to their ear, most of the visitors to Jackman will be happy to know that a new tower went up and cell service is now possible in town.

My understanding is that not all cell phones will work though depending on what service you have. I think it is any that is related to Verizon are ok. For example, Unicellular will not work as it is related to AT&T.

NOW for those of you who have nejoyed the fact that you could not get cell service here: so you do not have to feel guilty when you do not answer it or if you like that the kids are not on the phone your whole vacation, we can fix that. Don't tell the kids or your spouse and if that fails, I can lock it up here in a lockbox during your stay so you will not be tempted to answer it.
