Is CellularOne the only carrier in the UP (as in Watersmeet) and Norther Wisconsin? (as in Eagle River) Is their service now GSM, or is a dual band phone necessary?
All suggestions appreciated! Thanks!

alltel has coverage in the up as well, you would want a tri-mode phone as there is still a great deal of analog there

Cellular One has a few select area still using older analog technology, but most areas, and the U.P. included, GSM digital tri-band phones are necessary.
