Alarm.com uses two pager networks and you can go to those homepages and view
individual city coverage. At the moment I don't have those pages handy but
will post later with the url's

If you are out in the country you are SOL for coverage and AMPS is NOT being
shut down in 2008, it is up to the providers if they choose to carry the
service and alarm systems are only a very small part of the traffic
