Brimely - wireless access?

[hyperbabbola]

Do any of you campers know if Brimely State Park has wireless access? They say they don't, but I'm SURE I've seen connected over there. It would sure be a lot cheaper to use Messenger than the cell phone!

"I'm SURE I've seen connected over there."

Seen who/what connected??

The park doesn't have the service..

If you have a Bell phone, make sure it is not set for roaming and is for sure set to home. You are close enough to here to often pick up the Canadian towers and won't use anything but regular local minutes if you are calling the Soo.

Oh, duh, I meant I was sure I'd seen people connected to the Internet. I guess I didn't. lol

My cell is with Rogers. Sigh. Maybe I should figure out (fast, since we're leaving today) how to use a pre-paid card. Last year, I used my cell to check in at home a few times and got WALLOPED with charges.

LOL! I am heading there after a few hours sleep (worked nights last night).

As for the connected thing, we bring a laptop for our kids to watch movies if it has been raining, so maybe you mistook stuff like that for internet connection?

[hyperbabbola]

Mikey, how old are your kids? Mine is a 7 year old boy, if you have anything close to that. LOL

Yep, I bet it was regular computer use I saw, not an internet connection.

You can use your cell phone as a modem and connect.

/having a contract that provides for that helps

why the hell would you use your computer when camping? defeats the purpose.
