Default OT: Verizon vs Cingular KC/LOTO Area

Has anyone in the KC/LOTO area made the switch from Verizon to Cingular? I'm finding that Verizon is not effective at LOTO and have heard Cingular has the best lake coverage, and I'm less than satisfied with Verizon coverage in Southern Johnson County). In KC, how's Cingular's coverage?

I travel quite a bit as well, and am interested to know how Cingular's coverage is nationally (I don't trust the coverage maps on the Cingular website, so am looking for practical experience).

thanks.

Cingular works great! Been going down there for three years now and I can talk anywhere I want to.

Cingular , now AT&T is crystal clear all over the lake. We are at the 13MM and took the land line out of the house.

I have Sprint (work for them too) & it works great when we are there.

I imagine Cingular probably has better coverage since they have more roaming agreements.

I have Verizon and it sucks at LOTO. I made it at least tolerable by switching to a Razor phone which gets far better reception than my old flip phone. It won't have any bars in some places but I can still send/receive calls. Sometimes text and photo service is unavailable though. Cingular is the way to go down there.

Wife just got Cingular and loves it. I've still got nextel due to work, but considering a switch here soon.
