Some Guy Ridin:
I looked at the coverage maps for Verizon and Sprint. Sprint claims to provide better coverage, per the maps. Does anyone have any experience with Sprint ?

Yeah, my experience is that their coverage was pathetic when I had a work supplied phone on the Sprint network.   That wasn't too long ago so I doubt it has changed much.

John Nelson:
We used to have Sprint. We were without service in many areas that the coverage map claimed to serve. We got fed up with it.

The best coverage I've found in the rural areas of MT, ND, SD, WY and UT has been US Cellular; also along the WA and OR coasts.

Westinghouse:
I used a cheapo cell phone from Wal Mart on the southern tier from FL to CAL. There were two places I could not get a connection, Ocala National Forest in Florida, and Jacumba east of Pine Valley, California.
