I just recently discovered on a local chase last week in western Kansas that my old cell modem setup with the archaic Nokia 5165 + ositech modem no longer works.... ANYWHERE from Dodge City to Garden to Scott City all the way to Nebraska border near Phillipsburg (except ONCE right along I-70).
I use Unicel, which is formerly Cellular One, but I believe that what has happened is that most of the archaic analog network has been discontinued with an upgrade to Digital GSM or something. Whatever has happened in the last couple of weeks, I can no longer make an analog data call anywhere in Western Kansas, when I used to have a very good analog data (albeit very, very slow!) coverage.
I think now is the time for me to seriously upgrade... We only have two providers in western Kansas, Unicel and Alltel. Researching Unicel, they have an ever-expanding GSM network, which now would include a lot of western Kansas I am assuming. Cingular customers I believe roam on Unicel in western Kansas, so Cingular digital coverage I guess is now very good out here? I'll see what I can find out.. but looks to me like all digital in western kansas now with zero analog services..
