I have a T-Mobile prepaid cellphone. When I travel north, upstate NY, I lose the T-Mobile signal but I pick up Unicell or another smaller local carrier. And in Canada I picked up Rogers.
But here at home in NJ there are dead spots, like in my house. There is ATT signal though. I know because I can see the "Cingular" network from my phone, if I enter in manual search, but the phone will refuse to register with Cingular. I am sure there must be spots where one could pick up T-Mobile signal but no ATT.
Why don't T-Mobile and ATT share each other's network? they would have to put up fewer towers and would make more customers happy.
