I've heard that the word on Sprint is that you can use it in rural areas as
long as you stay within three miles of an Interstate highway. There are some
coverage maps that tend to support that theory. Mississippi is (or was) a case
in point. Verizon is virtually absent there, but they apparently let you roam
onto Sprint. When I visited there a couple of years ago, Verizon's roaming map
showed coverage pretty much confined to where the Interstates were.
