At best cellphone and Internet access within Yosemite National Park and Yosemite Valley is less than great. In fact, don’t count on having signal most of the time. Some cell phones get excellent reception while a different model phone from the same carrier gets terrible reception. As for Internet access, it depends where you’re at.
