As we have been visiting my home town a lot recently, everytime I drive into the town I feel as if I am entering a communication black hole as far as my cell phone coverage is concerned. Since Sprint roams on Verizon and vice versa a tower from either would help us out greatly. My wife’s Cingular phone roams on Centenial Wireless so she has coverage here, hence why we carry two different network phones so one of us usually has coverage somewhere. (When at my in-laws home in WV I think the coverage is reversed.)
Many in the town started a petition to get Verizon a cell tower in Berne. It was highlighted on the front page of the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette. Complete with pictures of people using Tin Cans and String. Check it out. The error in the story was it said Sprint coverage was fine. That was a mistake by the writer.
