That is a gross overstatement ... without roaming, it isn't "slightly
smaller"; it is massively smaller. There are overlaps in many regions, but
there are also many regions where only roaming is available. I was in Door
County Wisconsin in 2006 and I don't believe that ANY MAJOR carrier was native
there. There are a lot of places like this on their map. Just compare the
pre-paid to the regular plan or the data coverage to the "full coverage".

Ok, Tom, this is now the third time I've had to say this in this thread to
correct you:
T-MOBILE PREPAID INCLUDES ROAMING.

I don't know where Door County i, but T-Mo's prepaid map shows a ton of
roaming- most of it on 850MHz (where T-Mo has no native service) in
Wisconsin. A cursory look shows pre- and postpaid Coverage to be the same.

Yes- Mexico. That's the only place on the map coverage seems significantly
different these days. It's even closer in the midwest (Kansas, Nebraska)
than it used to be.

T-Mo doesn't have a data map- I think you're thinking of AT&T.
Again, Tom, T-Mo roams on prepaid. Almost as much as on postpaid.

Just to clarify, I meant "to be the same in Wisconsin..."
There are a few small rural areas on the maps that differ- i.e. rural
Nebraska off I-80 is a little better on postpaid, or Iowa NE of Sioux City,
but it looks like prepaid has over 90% of postpaid's coverage these days-
MUCH different that just three or four years ago.

Door County is 54211, and the coverage on pre- and post-paid is the
same (and not too good). 850 MHz roaming.
