AT&T GSM or VoiceStream Ohio Coverage

[GregF]

On the maps, voicestream looks like they have have better GSM coverage in Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo areas. Does anyone know if AT&T's coverage is going to get any better in the Columbus and Toledo areas this year. I would really like to stay with AT&T and go GSM, but there coverage in these areas is not that great right now, except for the Cleveland area. The good thing about Voicestream is they have free call forwarding too and AT&T charges for it.

FYI:
Cingular has finished overlaying OHIO with GSM. However, I don't know how OHIOs coverage compares with AT&T and T-Mobile.

Cleveland (1900 GSM)
Dayton (850 GSM)
Columbus (850 GSM)
Cincinnati (850 GSM)

If you like AT&T stick with TDMA, at least with that, you can still analog roam and still use your phone, even if you were to go with the GSM\TDMA phone they offer, there is still a large area that does not have either one here in northern Ohio, since both cellular carriers are CDMA. If you want to switch to GSM, go with T-Mobile, they have pretty decent coverage here in the northern part of the state, and will roam on Cingular GSM when neccesary for no extra charge. With AT&T GSM, there is no roaming on Cingular or T-Mobile. Hope this helps.

Ok, take it from me personally; I live in Toledo, Ohio. I have been with T-Mobile for 2 years now, and they are great, all over Ohio, and everywhere else I have been.

AT&T only covers half of Toledo, honestly. I can check their coverage by doing a manual network search on my phone, and in most places, only T-Mobile shows up, no AT&T.

I have been to Columbus numerous times with my T-Mobile phone. They have lots of malls, and I like to shop. I don't have any problems there. In fact, the last time I went down to Columbus, I had my new S105, and I was playing the games on there, and I noticed that I had signal the whole way through.
I don't think AT&T had GSM in Columbus when I was there, so I'm not for sure how that it.
