I have ATT GSM, works out in glamis. I swear this is the worst service Ive ever had but supposedly they just extended our home area all the way to Yuma from San Diego.

I have Sprint also. Mine works but not that great. I have to switch to analog mode to make the call. It also kills my battery within a couple of hours. I need to buy a car charger for it.

I've got AT & T and it seems to work pretty good out there.

for the first time ever, I did manage to get a signal from the store and vendor flats, but couldn't get anything from the Loop, pad 2 1/2,3,4 or Gecko Road for that matter. If I stood on one foot-touching my left toe-with one arm in the air I could get a signal on my buddy's Nextel. makes you wonder..... back in the "old days" what did we do.... no dvd players, PS-2's, wireless air cards, direct TV, or cell phones....... just the over-the-bed "Lance" camper and Uncle Joe's home made buggy and if you were lucky the little ATC that could flip on flat ground- lol. not that I am a luxury queen, just hate being cut off from the world for extended periods of time. Had Sprint for years now, but I spend so much time out there I would like to get a phone that works out there, that's why I brought the topic up. Sooooooo, I have heard that T-Mobile is good and Nextel is good (sometimes), and the others are hit & miss, I just know that out of many trips this season, no dice with Verizon or Sprint (from ANY of our locations)

thanks for the input so far.
