Hey there, I was wondering if you were ever going to get on. If I were to recommend a service for you, I would say either Cingular or Verizon. Both seem to be pretty good, and have had high recommendations in the area.

I'd have to recommend Verizon Wireless. I have a friend in Windsor which is just a tiny bit north of Santa Rosa and from what he has told me Verizon is the best there. He has Verizon and doesn't seem to have any coverage issues in that area. Cingular looks to be fine in the main city but once you stray off the beaten path your phone might get weak or not have any signal at all.

Indeed, I remembered that you provided quite a bit of detail in those threads. I never used my phone that far north when I was back home last time so I couldn't have added anything.
