Also be aware that most analog coverage is also going away within the next
few years. Cingular (which now owns much of AT&T's analog network in
Washington) has already announced that they are turning off the analog
towers by 2008 I think it is. In most areas I think they are converting to
GSM, so having Verizon or Sprint won't be helpful much longer in those
outlaying areas.

Subject: Re: [T-Mobile-US] service / equipment question

T-Mobile discontinued analog roaming at least two years ago (if not
longer.)  A GAIT phone won't help you for two reasons.  First of all
T-Mobile doesn't support either TDMA or AMPS analog.  cingular won't help
you either since they will not activate any new combination TDMA/AMPS
handsets and even the MVNO operators won't activate any new activations for
TDMA/AMPS.  If you absolutely must have coverage you may have to get service
either leaving T-Mobile or getting secondary service with VeriZon or a
reseller.  

Try going to <http://www.cellguru.net/prepaid_compare.htm> for prepaid
comparisons and look for CDMA providers such as Page Plus.  You can use a so
called "tri-mode" phone with them.  As far as T-Mobile goes you will not be
able to at all use analog AMPS since it's been discontinued for at least a
couple of years.
