I spent last week in western Nebraska.
Little did I know I was going to be in a dead zone.
I now appreciate the Verizon ad’s like this one:
My T-Mobile service cut out a little way out of Omaha and didn’t come back until I got to Cheyenne Wyoming last Thursday night.
On my G-1 phone, all I got was a “No Service” message. No roaming option. Attendees at the Excel seminars I was teaching implied that no one had T-Mobile in the area (one person didn’t even recognize T-Mobile as a national carrier).
My Sprint data card didn’t do a whole lot better. When I did try it, all I got was an RTT (think dial up speeds) connection, when I could get a connection at all.
I would have expected better coverage these days.
