Aerial was in Florida as well. I believe they were in the Tampa Bay area. This was back in the mid to late 90s.

Thanks to all who've made this a > welcoming informative > place to get information about T-Mobile!> Actually, VoiceStream was the major part of what became T-Mobile USA. The rest came from Omnipoint (northeast and Miami), Aerial (part of Texas and some in Ohio), PowerTel (southern states) and DigiPH (also souther states.) In actuality the other major networks also 'developed' by taking over other networks e.g. Cingular (which became AT&T) took over Pacific Bell PCS and Bell South DCS as their two native GSM operations. The rest of "Cingular" was a combination of Bell South Mobility and Southwestern Bell Mobility which when they became Cingular still was mostly a network that used IS-136 "TDMA" as their technology. Verizon also was a combination of network among which original networks were US West Cellular (which later became Airtouch), Pacific Bell Cellular (which later became Airtouch), NYNEX Mobility, and Bell Atlantic Mobility aka BAM. Actually, Omnipoint still lives if you ever look up their numbers on places such as telcodata.us and they're not listed as T-Mobile USA. ------------------------------------ - - T-Mobile-US on Google Groups: http://groups.google.com/group/T-Mobile-US _ _ Yahoo!
