I'm curious about whether I'll be hit for roaming on a recent trip, so I
went to check the map. It's gone. The only national plan maps are for One
Rate and for GSM. I tried to use their online question system, but it
wouldn't take: it kept saying that a field wasn't filled in.

This is the map for "Free to Go" the TDMA pay as you go plan. It is
the standard map for the ATT Wireless TDMA coverage. (Interestingly
enough, I just began subscribing to ATT one, ATT not ATT wireless, I
received the same map in the mail. ATT is leasing back the TDMA
network to offer wireless service)

Thanks, but I hope that's not right because it doesn't include a lot of the
southeast region (e.g. northern florida panhandle) that was on the last map
that I used in December.

FYI Here's the response I got from customer service:

Try Consumer Cellular's website at www.savecell.com. They are a
reseller of AT&T service (with no contracts and decent rates, BTW) and
still had the map up to show coverage on their "On-Net" plans.
