We drove through Oklahoma a year ago, and we've had T-Mobile for several
years. That's one place my wife's quad-band phone worked, while my
tri-band (missing 850Mhz) didn't. In fact, I think that's where I
figured out the frequency issue, found the info page on each phone to
find out that my phone (a Motorola) didn't have 850.
Seems to me my phone got a signal in Okla. City and Tulsa, but pretty
much nowhere else in the state... 20 miles out of Tulsa I had no signal.
Cheers,

It is pretty rural but the town I'm in has a population of about
50,000 and is halfway between two cities ( 60 miles to each ) with
metro areas over 1,000,000. Maybe there's decent coverage here.
I found some old news (2003) about tmobile expanding their 1900
GHz coverage in Oklahoma, Texas and further west. I contacted them to
let 'em know I was using the FIC Neo1973 and would buy a plan if they
had enough 1900 GHz coverage. They're supposed to answer in 24 hours
or less so hopefully they'll have good coverage.
Maybe it's better now, This map shows pretty good 1900 MHz coverage:
