Does Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller Need Cell Service to Work

Question:

I just purchased this brake controller and was wondering will this unit work when there isnt any cell service? I go to several remote locations where cell service can be very limited if any at all.

Thanks for your purchase of the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180!

And to answer your question, the controller will still work if there is not any cell service. The reason for that is the controller is connected to your mobile device via Bluetooth, and Bluetooth does not use cell service for connection. So even without cell service the Echo # C51180 will still absolutely work for you.
