Cell Phone Service:  Been here many times and personally never had service, but have been told that

others have intermittent service. The larger SFSP area of the Refuge is notorious for having unreliable

cell phone service. The park does have free WiFi. Login information is posted near the park office.

**Please keep in mind service can vary based on carrier, type of phone, weather and sky

conditions. Cell phone service is never guaranteed in Okefenokee and this is based on individual

experience.
