I heard Verizon is the way to go. But is more money....
Good luck
I used to have the same problem at airports and in the alleys. If you have Wifi always enabled (like I do), my phone would always try to get on Wifi instead of the 3/4g network. There are always plenty of Wfi networks around and it would trump the 3/4g to get on Wifi. It would even detect the inflight go go network even though it won't work below 10K. The phone would connect to the Wifi but not be able to use it because most of the networks required a sign in that I wasn't completing. I found that if I disable Wifi when at an airport, the phone would go immediately to 3/4g and voila! plenty of radar! (and everything else as well). That solved my "airport" issues in the alley. You can always turn on Wifi at the airport if it has an open network you want to use. I found most of them won't reach the cockpit. Give it a try. For the OP, I have a HTC Inspire with ATT and have not had any problems and rarely a dropped call. Been very happy and good data speeds.
