Never for one second have I put any stock in star/diamond/any-ratings system. It's just sensationalism.
I went last October. We got to keep our phones, but had no service. I was able to pick up a faint signal from the DMZ, but I couldn't get anything out. GPS seemed to work independent of our network status.
