When might AT&T think about a tower in the Boone area? Even though Apple has a cool phone, it's not enough to keep me on AT&T for cell service. Contract up in 4 months and I switch back to Verizon. I'll make do with a Droid!

Just moved to Boone. Cingular coverage seems to be fine in town but when I drive off the main road and up into the mountains and my neigbhorhood it quickly goes to nonexistant coverage. I'm going to have to switch to a local provider that everyone says has great coverage if Cingular doesn't do something soon. Does anyone know if some phones are better than others or is this a network problem?

GSM reception in Boone is now much better than CDMA. I receive signal everywhere I did with Verizon and no more ANALOG ROAM CRAP!!

On campus I have 5 bars, as soon as I go off, it's 1-3 bars. I just use free digital roam, so I'm most likely on some other tower and I get awesome coverage with that. When I'm not on digital roam though, it's really spotty, and my friends on Sprint who visited and didn't have free roam ran up $40 extra on their bill that month and they only talked for 15-20 min in Boone!

Sprint / Nextel has NO service at all anywhere on the campus. Even the walkie talkie service doesn't work and the IC402 phone is supposed to have double the coverage because it uses both Sprint and Nextel towers, HA... ..

US Cellular actually works really well in and around Boone. There are dead spots between Boone and Banner Elk, but I don't know any carriers that don't drop out there. I've never had a dropped call around Boone, not even inside stores or in the woods.
