Think cheap. SprintPCS gave us a hellofadeal that none of the others could touch and it works for the road-dogs (self-included).

Can you provide links for providers of this? We have exactly this problem. We're in a fringe zone of SprintPCS (East Livermore, CA) and none of our c-phones work inside the building. SprintPCS was supposed to do a buildout this way, this year, but it isn't happening.

Not to rehash the whole "my cell phone provider is better than yours" discussion, but I'd strongly advise against using SprintPCS for communications as critical as this. I've found their coverage to be extremely poor outside of major metropolitan areas (unless you enjoy using analog, and paying for the privilege, due to their lack of coverage :-). And, their international calling is shifty, at best.

Of course, your experience may vary.
