the prices are starting to gear up for vacation 07. this year it's back to twin lakes resort in the u.p of michigan. there is much to do before we depart saturday morning, but thats another topic. i was curious to see if i can expect to get cell phone coverage this year as 3 years ago, we got '0' service on either cell. now, not having a signal isn't the worst thing in the world as i really don't want to be getting work related emails and phone calls but it can be nice in case of emergency or if we forget and leave the sprinkler on. as a matter of fact we are taking very little in the way of technology, a few cd's, an ipod, and yes, a portable dvd player for the kids in the car. at any rate, i decided to check the t-mobile site to see if i would get a signal on my blackberry and what i can determine is that it may be possible. i do have a blackberry 7100t which apparently is an 850 MHz compatible handset which might be able to access their 850 MHz roaming coverage network. with the following exceptions of course:
This map predicts and approximates our wireless coverage area outdoors, which may vary from location to location and may change without notice. It may include locations with limited or no coverage. Our maps do not guarantee service availability. Even within a coverage area, there are several factors, such as: network changes, traffic volume, service outages, technical limitations, signal strength, your equipment, terrain, structures, foliage, weather, and other conditions that may interfere with actual service, quality, and availability, including the ability to make, receive, and maintain calls. Multi-band (850/1900 MHz) GSM/GPRS handset required for access to 850 Roaming Coverage.
right...so i guess they are guaranteeing that it may or may not work. thanks.
