Roaming New Jersey with a UK phone, AT&T appear to the dominate carrier as my phone always connects to the carrier in the area with highest signal strength. Can anyone advise on the best US service provider/carrier for travel in California, Texas and New York?
In Houston, I would suggest AT&T. I have Cingular and get lots of drop-outs-- especially if calling to or from one of the 'burbs (Clear Lake, Baytown, Alvin). Cingular had the best plan when Igot my phone, but about 3 weeks later AT&T started offering a better plan and matched the second phone for $10. The worst carrier in Houston area is Verizon, though. Lousy coverage (IMHO) & non-existent customer service, plus no sim cards.
Hope this helps.

in texas I would say T-Mobile. I have an att and t-mobile phone (treo 600 [used to have a t616] and t610). T-mobile always get's better service in the major metro areas. in fact, cingular uses t-mobiles network here in Austin. dallas is basically completely saturated with t-mobile and through out the I 35 interstand corridor down to San Antonio. I would have to say T-Mobile is the choice for texas.

markprimary, Cingular has best service in California and that's for sure to me. I lived there for 6 and a half years and for 5 years I had Cingular actually formerly known as PacBell. I never did switch carriers or nothing. Only thing that sucks about Cingular is that if for example you are using your free minutes which means mobile to mobile or nights and weekends I can guarantee you that after 120 minutes of talking (2 hours) you will get dropped. It happened to me so many times not just once or twice but every time I would stay on the phone for more than 2 hours.

I've made numerous calls over 2 hours...
I've had very good luck with T-Mobile in Texas. I rarely have dropped calls and I am a somewhat demanding user. I also like T-Mobile's international roaming features too.
They've got good coverage in Denver too, and in the mountains along I-70 and at major ski resorts. I've even been able to get a signal while camping in the middle of nowhere in Colorado.

Just drove cross country with my cingular phone. My brother has an unlocked Samsung with the 900 band and I have a T616, so I figured I may be able to find out if there is any major area where there is only 850 coverage. Almost everywhere that we went, we both got coverage, although occasionally it was on different providers. This isn't a problem as far as I can tell because neither of us get charged for roaming. I am now confident that the 850 band isn't as widespread as we are led to believe in the U.S.
The only exception was on the 80 freeway in Utah near the 76 interchange, no reception there for either phone.
