No coverage = no coverage.

You won't be able to call etc.

I have Virgin Mobile and I think the coverage map is pretty accurate.

I looked it up for my aunt who wanted to switch, and her house didn't have coverage (edge of the map) and when I go I lose bars about 100 feet before the turn onto her road.

so, tl;dr, probably not.

run around your house 4 times, hop on your left foot 4 1/2 times and make a wish and it should get you coverage.

you must live in 1 barren *** part of the world..

But on topic, No coverage means no coverage, because their towers are only programed to recieve a frequency from a certain provider.

For example, if you have a TMobile phone, but you live in a area with Virgin mobile towers, you will be SoL.

But, some phone companies work together.

Like, Simplemobile, theyre a sister company of Tmobile. and you can use their phones, and towers together.

The area that is pin pointed is white. That means where you live isn't totally covered, you'd have to drive a few miles east or west before you get into the nearest coverage zone
