Coverage on AT&T in the majority of NEPA rivals Verizon. They both have their own strong / weak points; where one may lack coverage, the other is solid; in other areas the opposite may hold true. In Jim Thorpe and Penn Forrest Township, AT&T is very solid, holding 3G signal in the woods, buildings and cars. There are no real dead zones along route 903 to speak of, however the JT / PFT areas just received 3G 8 mo-a year ago, and there are some areas beyond PFT may lack 3G, though the EDGE network is 2nd to none where 3G is lacking.

In the town of Jim Thorpe, Sprint has a fair 1X coverage; 3-4 bars depending on physical location. No 3G. Along route 903 between town and PFT, there are several areas of no coverage. At my home in PFT, I would jump between 1-2 bars of Sprint 1X to 4-5 bars of Verizon roaming.

Verizon has a very solid 3G network throughout the town of Jim Thorpe, and throughout Penn Forrest Township. Anywhere in the woods, buildings and cars, including Penn's Peak.

Most of Jim Thorpe is 4-5 bars with ATT, which is great. Some areas do drop to 2-3, but I can honestly say I have never seen 1 bar, or no service.

About a year ago there was little or no reception with VW in Jim Thorpe. Now there is up and down the mountain. Nextel use to reign supreme I think the Cingular's and Verizon's are starting to catch up and give em a run for their $$$

we need more towers in the jim thorpe areas and in the mahoning township areas in PA
