Same here with no AT&T coverage. I never could understand why Apple chose AT&T -- coverage sucks compared to Verizon (once you get out of large cities). For that reason alone I have not even considered an iphone or ipad.
Yeah, I like the way they show their coverage map on TV. However if you go to their web page my area is shown as covered by AT&T partners. Then the fine print states that if you get too much of your service from partners your account will be canceled.
