Cell phone service -- Colorado eastern plains area?

I am hoping that other people who live out here can point me in the right direction regarding cell phone service for eastern Colorado. I like to roam around in the outback a lot and with my last cell phone the service was quite spotty--if I was near a major highway then it was ok, but once I started getting away from the highway I would lose the signal.

Who has a recommendation for this area?

Thanks for reading! :)

    I too love the outdoors and often hike North Georgia mountains, North Carolina area, etc. I am on lakes as well and at times go with male/female with all cell phone plans/companies, i.e., Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, AllTell, MetroPC, and then some.

    I seldom have difficulty with my personal AT&T service anywhere, downtown Atlanta, outdoors, whereever. My close hiking buddy has Verizon and he never has complained when my AT&T will become faint/no service for a short period. A female that comes with us water skiing has her own company and uses Nextel, she never has any problem.

    There is a very pretty lady in my gym, LA Fitness, North Atlanta, that works with the very soon to be bought by T-Mobile company, Sprint, in acquiring land for their towers. She told me a year ago they can focus their signal to any area and mainly along highways/roads in undeveloped/nature areas. If you are getting weak or no signal you may need to change companies. You can find towers your company uses somewhere on the web, cannot remember site, or contact provider you use.

    Good Luck, enjoy life, and the outdoors as many do not.

    I personally checked 2 of the major wireless carriers in the United States...Cingular and Verizon. Their are only 2 carriers that really operate in the USA. The 2 I listed. Most carriers roam of of them...so if they don't have coverage most won't. For Verizon Wireless...CDMA...which goes through mountains much better, covers the vast majoriaty of Colorado. They do have a lot of spotty areas none the less...but probably much more extensive coverage that you were explaining. As I predicted...cingular offers more marginal coverage than ANY other provider in that state. I would try either Verizon Wireless or Alltel Wireless...they both have impressive networks and roam off of each other frequently...but remember...roaming with Verizon Wireless is always free in the USA. CIngular has some coverage...but it says it is provided by T-Mobile on their map...and Verizon's is covered by only Verizon in colorado..which is a plus...
