Reidster,
Unfortunately, the Coverage Locator has not been updated for new partner
coverage. There are a number of areas added since AC II was created.
Where would you be traveling in the west? New coverage has been added for
Commnet, Union, UBET and a few others that show in the AC II PRL, but not on
the map. New Verizon coverage is added quickly, but roaming agreements are
not updated as regularly.
