I too work for a wireless company, though they do not have coverage in this area. I just wanted to point out that the type of phone you have is just as, if not more, important than what service you have. The signal strength varies. An analog phone will have like 2 watts, whereas a digital phone may have .3 watts. The higher the wattage, the further the signal travels An analog phone has a much beefier signal than a digital phone, and a bag phone has the beefiest signal of all. The company I work for services the rural midwest, and we sell a lot of bag phones to people who are out on farms waaaaay out in the sticks.
