I'm currently using T-Mobile with a Treo 270. The coverage in outstate has started to get better and its nice to be able to check e-mail and the likes in a pinch when I'm out of town. Very few drops over the last year and the voice quality is reasonable. Coverage can be a bit spotty. I recently took a trip to Marshfield, WI and there was no coverage once I left the metro area except for a few miles around Eu Claire. Before that I had AT&T which worked fine. If coverage (especially nationally) is important, AT&T is the king. Two years ago I took a trip across Canada to Prince Rupert, up the Inside Passage to Seward, AK and then around the Anchorage area for a week or so. The only place in Canada that I didn't have coverage was Prince Rupert and most of the small towns that we sailed past on the way to Seward had AT&T digital service. I'm headed back to Anchorage next month and I'll probably pick up an AT&T pre-paid phone for use while I'm there. The one that pegged the useless/clueless scale was QWorst's cell service. Lots of dropped calls and customer service sucked. --rick mjn wrote: >I am curious about what people out on the list are using for mobile phone >providers.
