Do other carriers have an equivalent to National Access/QNC?

I've moved to an area where Verizon service is pretty weak, aka the
middle of nowhere. Therefore, I'm looking at other carriers, including
Cingular and Sprint/Nextel. Do any have the equivalent to the #777
National Access/QNC connections?

Do you mean data services? Yes. Do you mean data services that are
charged by the minute and don't have a minimum charge? I don't know -
I haven't seen anyone advertise such a service, but VZW doesn't really
advertise eiher.

Have you considered a whole house repeater with a directional yagi aimed at
the tower? Had to do that in the sticks in Idaho, cuz nobody else had any
service whatsoever... (those carriers specifically did *not* have service in
my area)

See http://www.cellantenna.com/repeater/...g_repeater.htm

Worked for both voice and data, and on my cllphone and the datacard in my
laptop....

(Totally wireless to the phone/card)

Alltel does.

Different methods work in different places. In some places "777" works, in
other "qnc" works as username & password. As a last resort, you should be
able to dial your own ISP's phone number. Are we talking about accessing
these networks as a roaming Verizon customer, or subscribing to the other
carriers? Sometimes your home carrier will help you in this process.
