How can wireless miss a "major" city
Have AT&T wireless, gsm service.
I can not use the phone while in Cincinnati.
I just can't believe that service for AT&T wireless is not offered in a city the size of Cincinnati. How can a company overlook this city?

Now here in Cincy you actually connect though Cincinnati Bell's wireless network since they still have a baby bell relationship with AT&T. AT&T does not have any infrastructure in Cincinnati since Cincy Bell is a partner. Then when you get outside of Cincinnati you are using At&T's network. Sounds like the Cincy Bell network didn't pick you up as a AT&T partner.

I've stayed away from switching to AT&T's "next generation" service, because while the phones are cool, the coverage is not going to be ready until at least the next generation.
