The only phones that are compatible with Powertel's analog roaming are
the Nokia 5190 and 6190 (with analog module) and the Ericsson CF888.
I don't think that Ptel even sells the CF888 anymore...

The other problem with Ptel's analog roaming is that there are MANY
areas where they have no analog roaming agreements, meaning that you
can't receive calls in those areas and must use a credit card to place
calls at $2/min.  I used to use Ptel but after having no service in
New Orleans (now resolved) and Lafayette, LA (still a problem), I
switched to Verizon.

>need. Lots of my friends complain about Sprint, but it still seems to

Sprint's *coverage* is very good in Atlanta (especially compared to
other cities such as Chicago) but they have had a lot of problems with
voicemail as of late.
