AT&T has EDGE everywhere they have 2G coverage - something that might be useful.

Also note that AT&T prepaid service does not permit roaming on other providers, so when you look at the AT&T coverage map, be sure to look at the prepaid map and not the postpaid one. There are huge areas of the US (particularly the central and western US) where there is little to no AT&T native service.

Then again, while T-Mobile prepaid permits roaming, it doesn't yet permit true data access, just limited WAP - and their 3G is at 1700 MHz anyway.
