Hey anyone understand the complications of the reception in the Pacific Northwest (specifically Portland Oregon) area, and could comment on the feasibility of going from AT&T to Sprint?

How does the free* roaming on Verizons network work while being a Sprint subscriber?

What are the caveats and limitations to relying on Verizon's service to get data and voice reception in the rural areas?

Any comments on coverage along highway 30,101,20,84 (to the mountain) up and down the I5 corridor?

And specifically if you get data and voice up at the mountain resorts? and how is your reception in those areas?

TIA


Here are the coverage tools for each carrier, as poor as they are.....
