Well, since you don't indicate where that is it's anyone's guess now
isn't it?

OK, I'll "jump through your hoops" on this one . . .

I'm planning a trip to Williamson, WV in the near future.

Sorry for any confusion, Joseph!  

I'm also still wondering if Cingular has roaming agreements with T-Mobile,
in general, as well.

(If anyone else can help, feel free to jump in!)

Cingular no longer uses T-mobiles towers. They terminated the
agreement about 10 months ago.

Different thing. To answer the original question--yes Cingular in
general still allows roaming onto T-Mobile towers that are OUTSIDE
native Cingular GSM coverage. I was roaming fine on TM about 2 weeks
ago.

That's not 100% true. I was in Minnesota about a month or two ago, and
I was romaing on T-Mobile along I-90, right up until I picked up "USA
590" (Western Wireless/Cellular One).

Maybe it depends on the area...such as roaming on T-Mobile is only
permitted in markets where Cingular currently does not operate.
