Desert! That's my side of town. There are lots of areas where there is no coverage, but interstates are pretty good. I just talked to my son who has a two way SkyTel pager and a Verizon cell phone. He reports that some places have good phone coverage but no pager coverage. Others have pager coverage but no phone coverage. At his house in Colorado Springs he has good cell coverage, and he can receive pages but has problems sending. I hope this helps.
