Sorry I don't know the numbers on the sign.

I would still like to know who actually owns the cells on that site.

My WiFi stays up when the cell site batteries fail.

I did notice that all of our calls today are through WiFi, not a Verizon cell, but that's normal.

Sorry I don't know the numbers on the sign.

 But if you have wifi calling enabled, it defaults to that, even if cell service is up.

So if you are home, or are on a known wifi network, you will make and receive calls via wifi, regardless of cell connectivity.

Hot Topics / Has anyone contacted LA county about the wash on Flume Canyon?

San Bernardino County has spent a ton of time and money fixing the wash on the Cardinal side. But they stopped at the county line.

It flows from the LA County side, so if there is a blockage there it might have been futile.

I use my frequently. As Bob said, we pay taxes for the services so why not.

because it takes minimum 2 hours waiting in the line.

I am happy to pay the $85, even if I don't use it, if it helps and benefits the community services district

I use mine several times a year.  Usually for bulky things or when I have a lot of green waste. You pay for it with your property taxes so feel welcomed to use it.

Wrightwood CSD Topics / Dump Cards

I know this was a fraught topic a while ago. Just curious are most people using their cards?

We have used ours once. well sort of. I went to the transfer station with my load, but forgot my card. so I just paid regular.

I don't plan to use it again.

Good friend of mine is a Telecom engineer, working mostly with Cellular.

I know where the cell is above Big Bennys' but I havent found a way to get to the fence.  On the fence there will be a sign (maybe more than one) with a phone number.  I'd love to know the phone number(s) on those signs.

The cell itself probably does not belong to T-Mobile or AT&T or Verizon.

It probably belongs to Crown Castle or American Tower or someone like that.  If their cell is down, more than one carrier can be down.

I did notice that all of our calls today are through WiFi, not a Verizon cell, but that's normal.

I think Verizon has a second cell that covers CA-2 from town to 138.

We also know from past outages that the cells only have about 8 hours of backup power.  UIA has solid emergency power, and I can power the internet and WiFi in my home, so that's good.
