...to US Cellular. I was so fed up with Cingular, but now I have a Bluetooth capable Motorola V323i and I can sync it up with my MacBook and make my own ringtones, and, if I ever need to, I can use it as a modem. I love it. I've already set "It's The End of The World As We Know It" by REM as my Text Message Tone, and "Amarillo By Morning" by George Strait as my Ringtone. The fact that I can use my Mac to create ringtones just makes me love Apple that much more. The best part of this whole experience is that I actually have FULL BARS wherever I go.

Northern Illinois. Yeah, they're a smaller company but they have great service in the midwest. Apparently, they're the sixth largest provider in the US.

You'll be about 5 hours south of me. I've never been to Quincy, but you'll be right on the Mississippi river. So, if you like to fishing, bring a rod with because I hear there's good catfishing down there. Of course, it's still a tad bit early for the catfish to be out and about.

LOL, actually I got better service with Cingular standing over the edge of a cliff about a 150 feet above the Shoshone River in Wyoming than I do in my own home. There was nothing for miles and miles, it was just me, my family, and nothing else, but somehow I got great service there. But that's promising to hear that US Cellular has a good call area.

Edit: And I'm not making that up. I still don't know how I got better service in the middle of nowhere than I do here.
