[pct-l] Cell phones

[chgeth at yahoo.de (chris G)]

Being from Germany I have some questions about cell
phones in the US.
Apparantly I need a new cell phone for the US because
you  use triband ones that are not common in Europe.
When I buy a new cell phone in the US what provider
should I use for best net coverage and reception? 
Will I generally have good reception on the trail or
are there a lot of "white spots"?
And if an emergency happens, whom do I call? Just 911
or is there a special number for mountain rescue?
Thank you,
Christine
