If you were on an "America" plan paying the extra $5.00 per month for
off-network roaming, you should be aware that if more than 50% of your
monthly airtime is used off-network, Sprint reserves the right to turn off
the off-network option. But AFAIK they don't just turn it off, they give you
warnings for a couple months first.
If Cingular has local numbers and decent coverage, Cingular may be the best
choice for you. If Sprint didn't have native coverage in that area in the
first place, they probably aren't your best bet.
