It has analog roaming, which seems to do pretty well.

It's tough to find a provider that currently offers analog cellular
phones, so it may be worthwhile to keep the one you have.

A while ago I flew into Lincoln County, Nevada (1L1)* located near
Panaca, and camped about 10 miles west of the airport. I was out in
the middle of the desert a long way from civilization, and didn't
expect to get cell service, but Sprint let me call home through analog
roaming.

In some areas, it's getting tough to get an analog channel.
