3G Connectivity?? Please Help!!

Okay, so I got my droid X in the mail about a month ago and activated it and all that jazz in new york, where i live, however, I spend the summers in West Virginia. When I am in New York, Ocean City, and Virginia, I can connect to all of the features on the X, but when I am in west virginia and maryland (both of which are very small towns) I can not. Here is a list of what I can not do, I can't:

1. Connect to the internet over Verizon, only through wifi

2. Connect to the Android Market through Verizon, only through wifi

3. Download picture messages

4. Use Voice to text

5. Use Backup Assistant

6. Upload anything

7. Use social networking apps unless run through wifi

8. Check for software upgrade (yes i know it's not out yet, I just wanted to list it) It will not let me "click" on system updates

9. Check voicemail or download new messages (voicemail messages)

10. Get email unless connected to wifi

And probably a few more things that I am forgetting...

 

Now, I have checked all that I could initially find, but maybe i am missing something, but I don't think I am. My sister who has an enV 3 can connect fine, and my cousin who has a cricket phone can connect too, my blackberry was able to, and my mother and step-father also can connect.

My mother and step-father both have us cellular, a popular cell service down here, along with at&t.

 

Please help, I don't know why this is happening but it is driving me crazy!!

 

UPDATE:

***It says I'm roaming, do phones even roam anymore!?!?***

It could have to do with the lack of VZW 3G signal in the area.  Try doing a *228 option 2 and see if this clears up the issue.
