A friend was looking at Verizon's maps, since he was pressured by a
salesman for a new plan. It appears that they are pushing greatly
reduced roaming plans. Unless you are on the single rate plan, it
shows no coverage on their maps in analog roaming (Dobson is GSM) areas
in northern Minnesota. Soon people who travel to rural areas will
require multiple phones if they want low cost coverage.

Yes, this is true. Sprint may be a better choice in terms of a carrier
that supports AMPS.

Verizon called me the other day trying to get me to go to a newer plan,
but I told them that I couldn't change because I'd lose a lot of my AMPS
coverage (as well as losing my 8:01 p.m. off-peak start time).

Sprint PCS will cover the analog roaming for free on current plans. That
includes the analog option ... which is ALL that is available in much of the
Superior National Forest and areas to the west.
