Was in the Novi MI store tonight. One of the reps told me that effective next week, the infamous NE quadrant of the LP (ie, the area in which RFB Cellular provides service) will be part of both AC and the Local Digital Choice area! I have no idea if he was provided accurate info, but he seemed to know what he was talking about.

Maybe--just mabye--the wishes of all us Michigan customers is on the verge of coming true.

Rich (aka Mathwiz): do you have any info on this

I have not heard anything about that... then again, us vzw employees are usually the last to know.

I don't have any additional information on this either. But I'll keep checking for new PRLs that would contain this coverage change and post info as I get it.

I thought we were going to see the UP covered? Also...since they updated the maps..and supposedly since the rest of the lower peninsula is covered..why isn't that on the map?

Any ideas?

I'm glad to see the rest of the LP included as Extended Network even if it's RFB instead of Alltel. I have a feeling that the maps were sent to whoever approves them before being released before the agreement with RFB was reached. So they could get it in the PRL, but didn't have time to redo the maps. Also, from what I've heard, the contract between Verizon (formerly AirTouch) is quite strict, which could explain why RFB is still used and also why it's not Extended in the UP yet. We'll just have to keep waiting for Alltel to improve coverage, which should then switch the rest of the UP to extended with either Alltel or RFB. Hopefully that'll be soon, but I have no idea.
