My sister-in-law just moved from Moraga to Lafayette. She no longer has AT&T
TDMA coverage in her house. She had good AT&T coverage in her condo in
Moraga, which is ironic since Moraga is much more isolated.

She is going to have to move if she cannot get coverage in her area. She's
now renting
so it's not a big deal to move; her job requires her to be reachable.

Anyone have Verizon in Lafayette, especially by Acalanes High School? I'm
going to
have to go out there with my phone to check coverage, but I thought that I'd
get an
idea of the coverage first.

What about AMPS coverage out there? Her Nokia TDMA handset is AMPS capable
but doesn't let you force it to AMPS. Also, isn't AMPS going to incur
roaming
on AT&T since Verizon operates the AMPS network?

She'd even go to GSM if it were any better, but I can't imagine this being
the case
given Cingular's horrible reputation in this area.
