I understand what you're trying to say, but get a map out: Maine does not border Mass, and none of our cellphone network segments touch. If I drive from Boston to Bangor (nearest major city), I will touch somewhere around 40 distinct networks during that trip ~4-5hr trip, and will have to pass through NH. This is about 250 miles away. I assume you're west coast, this is approximately twice the distance between Seattle and Vancouver, or half the distance between SF and Seattle.
