Is there cell reception at Cochise?

It's a mountain range. I haven't had any luck and I use Verizon. There may be spots but none I know about.

Yes, spotty at best. I've been able to send and recieve texts on the tops of some of the domes. No reception at the bases of the climbs. This is all on the west side.

I've had reception in the entire Sheepshead area.

It's been several years but I think I had Verizon at the time. We were unable to climb due to ice, snow and meltwater runoff, so we ended up just hiking around the area and I was able to make calls and text from both the base of Sheepshead and the top.

Do you plan on taking selfie's and posting them on facebook all the time. Unless you have a bone sticking out of your leg who cares.

I have AT&T and on 2/3/14-2/5/14 I did not have reception at Isle of Ewe campground, but did have it on the dirt road in until the turnoff to the actual campground, and also at all the anchors on sweet-rock and at the anchors of some of the routs on Trad rock, but never at the campground, but walking 200 yards out to the main dirt road (the dirt road that connects sheepshead, Isle of ewe, and whale dome not the main-main dirt road) and poof there it was.
