Trees have no impact on cell service.

I have ZERO back ground of just how a cell phone work's.

I live on what you would call a plateau / cliff (approx. 250 - 300 Ft. +/- above the valley I overlook.

Yet if I jump in a car and move / go to a property (on the private road, while staying in my car) that has a clear view (they clear cut their 5 acre plot) from the road to the cliff / view, I get a GREAT signal. Both the T-Mobile LG Flip phone & the Samsung S9.

My daughter just brought me a new Samsung S9, I get approx. 1 (one) bar. My previous cell phone was a flip phone ZERO bars. I think that also played a part, i.e. old technology. Depending where I decide in my house to try and make a call on the new Samsung S9 Verizon, still not able to make a call.

That's my story, I'm sticking to it.

Bull.
Trees will affect cell service.
And satellite radio.
And radar.
And GPS.
And.....
Varying levels. But Never say Never.
