It's just one data point, but in rural North Georgia (lots of mountians as
well), Cingular works much better than Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile. The
area is dominated by Cingular stores. Sceptics might say it's because alot
of very highup Cingular and BellSouth executives have weekend homes up here.

Verizon stores are very, very few and far between, no Sprint or T-Mobile
stores to be seen North of Canton, GA.

Best bet would be to get a Cingular phone and give it a try for the trial
period in the area you are concerned about.
