GSM coverage has expanded a great deal in many areas with roaming agreements with smaller regional carriers that frequently change over to GSM from Analog and TDMA, since GSM is a form of TDMA and it's something they already know. Not to mention they don't have to pay the licensing fees Qualcomm requires for CMDA Licensing. In W Texas, we had similar issues but the carriers have been switching over and T-Mobile has established Roaming agreements with many of them. CellularOne for example (Now owned by Alltel formally Western Wireless) covers many of the remote areas of the US has long provided service for T-Mobile. In these areas, it's important that you have a phone with the 850MHz band since many of these carriers have licenses in that band rather than 1900MHz band as T-Mobile does.

I've been a Voicestream/T-mobile user for at least 9 years now. I live in the seattle area where T-mobile coverage is great. But I also travel to some very remote areas across the US. like Montana, North Dakota and eastern washington where there is basically no GSM coverage so I carry a old Nokia 918 Analog Tracfone that has service in those areas. With the Analog sunset date being in early 2008 I'm conserned what I'll have to do for cellular service when I'm travelling in remote parts. I'm a little curious if I'm the only one that with this problem and how others intend to cope with it.
