It offered no-contract unlimited local calling for a fixed monthly price similar to Cricket in Cleveland, OH. It offered unlimited roaming in Dayton and Dayton for an additional monthly fee by a reciprocal roaming agreement with Cricket signed in Decemeber, 2004. Northcoast owned a large amount of PCS licenses over the US that covered about 47 million POPs during the US government's D- E- and F-block PCS auctions. Unfortuantly to cell phone enthusiasts, only the Cleveland license was built out and provided service. At some point in its history it sold its Canton spectrum. The Cleveland territory and customers was spun off as Revol, the rest of the licenses were sold to Verizon Wireless (see map in #External Links).
