SPRINT PCS Tappan Lake coverage

I will be spending a lot of time at Tappan Lake, just west of Steubenville, OH. I currently have AT&T WIRELESS and received absolutely NO signal there. I would guess that ATTWS roam partner is DOBSON.

Anyway....My brother-in-law has VZW and he had very good signal, probably from ALLTEL.

I am seriously considering porting my ATTWS numbers at the end of my contract next June. Thinking about either VZW or SPRINT.

Just wondered if anyone knows if SPRINT has coverage along RT 22 West and Rt 250 near New Philadelphia, OH and Scio, OH ??

Thanks 🙂

The Tappan Lake region in eastern Ohio...coverage from Verizon will be provided from Alltel, so you would get voice coverage very good from either carrier there. Sprint, Nextel, and Cingular do not have no coverage at all in that area as of now.

The closest Cingular coverage is 8 miles to the east on Rt. 22 at Cadiz,OH and is provided from Dobson Cellular. The closest Sprint and Nextel coverage areas start 9 miles west at the interchange of Rt. 22 and Rt. 250 at Urichsville and Dennison, OH...which is right near New Philadelphia,OH on I-77.

Hope that helps.

Unless he is talking out his butt, storm is going by coverage maps. I actually sell cellular out of the Sams Club in North Canton. I have Sprint and recently went down to Tappan Lake this summer with my gf's parents (who have Verizon). We both had pretty good signal strength from Alltel (who is the only carrier who has their own coverage on Tappan). Both Companies coverage ends right where 250 T's off and you make the left to head down to Tappan, but they pick up Alltel within about 30 seconds to a minute.

First hand experience will help more than a map any day. If you have any questions feel free to stop in and chat, my name is Richard.
