What's best for national service availability?

i agree with your faces

 

But not Verizon's America's Choice plan. The coverage on that plan is actually shrinking because newer PRLs have removed Sprint as a free roaming partner in many cities.

There are threads in a couple other forums about this problem as well.

 

I've mentioned the PRL situation quite a bit. (Ultimately I left VZW partly because of the switch from digital to analog in areas of AL, VA, and elsewhere and the harassment of the keepers of the two most well-known "PRL sites", and partly because of the ridiculous situation with CDMA in Kentucky. That said, I'm all but forced to go back to VZW -- on FreeUp this time -- to get better coverage in rural south GA, where ALLTEL's analog coverage is utter crap and AT&T, T-Mo, and Nextel all have very little coverage.)

Oh -- as for SID 93, it is most definitely forbidden in Cingular IRDBs -- in one of the areas I whine about where only VZW has coverage, AT&T, SPCS, and VZW phones all show analog signal but Cingular shows only "no service".

That was probably a GSM phone Roamer1...

jmccrane, shrinking coverage will also affect National SingleRate plans, local plans or any other plan. PRLs and roaming agreements have no connection with the plan chosen by the end user. Therefore, whether you choose National SingleRate or America's Choice you still get the same national coverage. The only difference is that with AC you'll pay roaming charges in some areas and with SingleRate you won't.
