Dear Group: I currently don't have a cellular account, but these considerations were important in the past. Analog cellular is not important just because some systems are old and backward--the signal frequency goes farther over rough terrain. But analog takes more bandwith and that is why cell companies have made the change. It is much like the old "low-band" FM frequencies in police and business radios. Also the "two system" mandate established "A" and "B" towers. In an area of which I am familiar, US Cellular was an "A" tower provider and the towers were "B" towers. All "US Cellular" calls were roaming there. Check whether the provider allows both "A" and "B" towers and analog WITHOUT ROAMING. Any out of service cell phone can call "The American Roaming Network." Your calls on that emergency network must be 911 or collect and might cost as much as $30./call. But if that is the only reason for a cell phone, that is another option.
