" I still couldn't justify it. So, I decided to switch to T-Mobile for
$29.95 a month unlimited. It is perfect for me."

We have T-Mobile in the PNW, Whidbey Island to be precise.  Coverage here is
spotty to good the closer you get to Seattle.  T-Mobile was useless in BC
and Alaska this summer.  Beyond Nanaimo we had no roaming.  In Southeast
Alaska we had no service and no roaming.  I'm very disappointed in T-Mobile
and plan to switch to Verizon.  Prior to departing on the boat for Southeast
I was unable to determine from T-Mobile the extent of their service up
north.  We do not use wifi internet access on the boat.

We live in Seattle and use Nextel - both for phone and Blackberry email.
We've had good coverage as far north as Nanaimo, with no roaming charges.
