I will be riding Amtrak this summer, and I have a cellphone. its prepaid and I was wondering can you use a cellphone while traveling on the Train?

I travelled just yesterday from Jacksonville to Winter Park and back, and the prepaid cell phone worked marvelously.....

Cell phone reception in western US are sporadiac while riding on long distance trains. Best locations would be in cities and along the interstate highways.

Same holds true anywhere. If you're in a modest to large sized city you'll be able to get something. Try to make those important calls at station stops if you want a guaranteed good connection.

Dont use it in the designated quiet cars if you are traveling on amtrak. Cell phones are taboo in them.

I have used my cell on trips alot, some places seeming out in noware had great reception, sometimes in stations no signal.

But I was always able to get the important stuff through.

I always try to go somewhere else if I talk on the phone on the train, so I don't bother anyone. Or I talk really quiet. I hate it when I'm trying to sleep, and people are yapping away loudly on their phone.
