Can I get coverage with my Verizon phone in the Owens River Gorge? I am on-call and can't be out of service range.

Nope. Go bouldering.

You can rent a sat phone for about $8 a day with free incoming texts

Must depend on where you are because I had service at the Lower Gorge with Verizon

Good to know, I have ATT and no service in the lower gorge, inner gorge or upper gorge. Or at least I didn't used ton, now I don't bother bringing my phone in hopes of keeping that dust out.

I was on ATT, but I had full bars and 3G coverage at my campsite in the pines (enough to watch movies in my tent).
