If you want to get the real scoop on GSM coverage, check these maps:  
http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_us.shtml

AT&T has a broader US coverage area compared to Cingular, but the 
Carolinas region covered is very thin.

If your use is going to be say 80-90% in the Carolinas, I would 
recommend you consider Cingular.  They have very thick coverage locally 
compared to AT&T.

Cingular offers national plan options, and has reciprocal relationships 
with other carriers, so you don't have to worry about roaming charges if 
you travel frequently.

Always best is for you to borrow friends' phones with Cingular and AT&T, 
walk/drive them around and check their signal meters as you move about.
