Periodically, in areas where I KNOW there is coverage, the phone tells me there is no digital coverage and puts me into analog roam (where I pay a 7x higher rate)! I'm beginning to believe that cell phone companies are actually introducing "errors" into their phone systems to up the customer's bill knowing that most customers will just accept the analog roam and continue to make the call. Am I whacked out on that? We have Verizon at home, and I'm not really happy with it, either. I've heard that Cingular is best in Dallas/Ft. Worth, but their rates are an additional $5 a month over Verizon and Sprint. At work, we've had issues in the past with Sprint delivering text messages and voice mail DAYS after it was originally sent. That's not very good, when you're expected to answer a page and call back in 30 minutes, or they go to your backup. Glen Austin Edited by gdaustin Sept. 19, 2004, 10:40:28 PM EDT Expand All History

I'm not making excuses for them (there are local areas with no signal and it seems that Sprint has no interest in remedying that problem), just noting that there are other possible explanations. Cheers, Scott.

The country is being destroyed by these stupid, vicious right-wing fanatics, the spiritual brothers of the brownshirts and redstars, collectivists and authoritarians all, who would not know freedom if it bit them on the ass, who spend all their time trying to stamp, bludgeon, and eviscerate the very idea of the individual's right to his own private world. DRL questions, help? [link\|mailto:pappas@catholic.org\|email pappas at catholic.org]
