After two months the phone signals were back at the valley.
at the valley
the phone calls
were back
after two months
The preposition 'at' is generally used to describe a static position. It is replaced with 'in' or 'on' when a more precise indication of location is needed. For example, He's at work. But we say 'he's in the office' when it's time to be more precise. Thus instead of 'at' we use 'in' in the given sentence. Hence, 'in the valley' will be the correct sentence structure.
