Do you live north of the coverage area or do you just travel there quite a bit? fortunately if it is the latter all new usc plans include 45 minutes a month of roaming. if it is something like you go deer hunting or something like that you can also add bucketed roaming minutes @ 100min/$10 for a month. Also you can change you r plan whenever you want however it may not be recommended to do frequently to keep your bill easy to read. Like most people on here i have seen say you may want to stop into a local store and see a rep for more details just to see what will best suit your needs.

I don't know how soon USCC plan to build out their 700 band network. I know it'll mean new phones, but they did acquire some 700 band licenses for northern Wisconsin.

As for other licenses available; that's only if Verizon is willing to sell some of their PCS licenses that they're just sitting on, and including Alltel. AT&T holds the 800 band A side for the upper most part of Wisconsin, except for the eastern half of St. Croix County, which Alltel holds that license, and Verizon is so far keeping that license once the merger is complete. The B side is held by a combination of Alltel (soon to be Verizon) & Cellcom. So unless USCC tries to acquire Cellcom, then for the immediate future, USCC won't be covering Northern Wisconsin.
