In all regions, all carriers have holes in their coverage. If you're
someplace where a carrier thinks you're covered, you can't roam. Even if
you're *not* covered. (Sprint will let you do this.)

Look at the T-Mobile coverage map for, say, northern Wisconsin. You'll
see both 1900 MHz and 850 mHz roaming. The web pages say prepaid only
roams on 1900 ... and not 0n 850 ... but it *does* !
