Anyone know what the coverage in like in Hillsboro, OH? The website,
even though the information may be outdated, shows there is no coverage.
Anyone have any information?

The T-Mobile personal coverage check on their web site is current.
If it says you have no coverage, it is usually correct.
If in doubt, contact someone that is paid to know.
The closest T-Mobile company store or their customer care.
Do not waste your time with indirect dealers.
They will often say anything to make a sale and then give you a rough time
when you want to return the equipment.

If Hillsboro is a small town and/or far away enough from an interstate
corridor to pull service from towers there, generally you can forget
it.

T-Mobile is a great carrier for people who live in and/or travel
frequently in urban areas, but not a reliable choice for people who
live in rural areas.

I'm thinking a satellite phone may be the only thing that'll work.

Eh, I just answered this guy over in the VZW newsgroup. Hillsboro IS a small
town in South Central(ish) Ohio, east of the Interstate 71 corridor between
Columbus and Cincinnati. Doesn't look like a place where there would be many
carriers with service.

Alltel might be a good option in this area, or perhaps Cingular... AT&T
Wireless used to have good coverage in several rural parts of Southern Ohio.
