    I had good coverage throughout Nebraska and Wyoming though much of it was roaming.

    At The Love's in West Memphis. My delivery time isn't until 7am tomorrow so I can kick back here and get up early to roll in there by 7 rather than camp out there all night with no bathroom. :)

    That seems to be my problem when it switches towers it won't let me receive or make calls on the other network. If I am on the phone it drops calls. I'm use to the area between York and Salinas being a dead spot. But now seems to be a dead spot from York to Lexington, Ne. Like I said it will show I have a signal or whatever but It won't let me call out on it, but could be my cheap throw away phone, but I have had it for awhile and it just started.

    Yeah I often have that problem. Hand offs between home and roaming networks never go smoothly. Calls always drop when doing that. I'm thinking it's just the nature of the beast, the phone registering on the new network causes a break in the signal

    I have to roam on an old Alltel GSM network operated by Verizon in many parts of Texas. Data usually doesn't work and sometimes talk and text doesn't work. In some areas I can force connect to AT&T and it works just fine.
