I personally do not have a cell phone.
FWIW in central AR, Alltel is selling/ has sold its wireless divison. Granted I really do not keep up with the Cellphone stuff, however, further word is Alltel is going to sell off its other division as well. Details kinda sketchy, not really keeping up with it...Joe Ford the head honcho of Alltel is basicall retired, a son is running things. So one hears a "new" company is going to come in take over what Alltel is/ has/ something. I guess reading stock reports would shed more light.
Geography seems to play a huge part. Cingualar gives classmated fits, with just going dead, one part of campus to another for example.
IIRC mom has Alltel...driving her nuts, then again she won't read the instructions.
Which reminds me...TracFones. What is the deal with these? Reason I ask is if someone just wanted something when out in case of emergency, like some elderly folks - do these work out of town, out of state?
Two folks asked me ( I don't know) one is a single mom watching budget and wants to have for emergency. The other is a elderly couple that may travel from time to time. Elderly couples theory is if landline is turned off, they don't have to answer it and not be bothered when working in shop or making dinner. *grin*
