Coverage in AZ

[rockyptjoe]

I just switched to ST from ATT. When I drove to the border of Mexico in AZ (HWY 85), I used to have coverage under ATT in the towns of AJO (Zip 85321), and even at the border at Lukeville (zip code 85341), before crossing into Mexico.

I now have a Nokia e71, which supposedly runs on the ATT network. On a recent trip, I had no coverage on my drive to the Mexico border after I left Gila Bend (zip code 85337). What's the story?

Thanks!

Hi rockyptjoe. My name is Straight Talk John and I will be further assisting you with this concern. Have your tried turning your phone OFF and back ON during this time while crossing the boarders?

[rockyptjoe]

Yes I did...turned it off/on a couple of times, including when I was in the Ajo area. In Ajo, it did a little "blip" and showed service, then it was gone.

rockyptjoe, we need to take this issue offline so I can address it further. I will contact you directly with a private message. Thank you.

OK...well I finally found your response in the PMs...but there is no way that I can find on this board to respond.

Can't you answer the question here....is there ST coverage in the 2 zip codes I listed using a Nokia E-71, which is running on the ATT network?

rockyptjoe. Upon checking the coverage map, we do not have towers in zip codes 85341 and 85321, but in zip code 85337, we have towers found in that area. I need to know the exact address of each area so we can clearly identify if this areas has any coverage in order for us to make our information accurate. Thanks!

[rockyptjoe]

Don't have an EXACT adress...but it is the towns (very small) of Ajo, Why, and Lukeville AZ. As I mentioned in my first port, I used to have ATT service, and I did have coverage in those locations.....and the Nokia E-71 supposedly runs off the ATT towers.

rockyptjoe. In case you'll be back in that area, let us know so that we can look in to that while your phone is there. Thanks!
