In addition to reading reviews, there is a Google Maps overlay that shows
cell tower locations. I found this in 30 seconds using a Google search so
there may be better ones than the one I looked at. The one I looked at
did not provide any details about who was using the tower or what
frequencies. However, having a detailed map is a start at finding out
what is going on.

Today on NPR "Marketplace" was a report about Sprint dropping 1000s of
disgruntled customers without termination fee. These folks were peppering
Sprint's support lines with calls. Sprint claimed that they repeatedly
called with the same question just to waste Sprint's time. Sprint said
they could not afford to have such customers and dropped them.

Where there is a will, there is a way.
