Boy, that's the truth. More than half the time, when I try to call my husband's cell phone, it doesn't ring, it tells me the service doesn't exist, he can't hear me, I leave a message that he "doesn't get" ... I'm infuriated every time I pay the freepin' bill.

Apparently the only time cell phones work is when all parties involved are driving their cars!

Going with the companies that are entirely wireless, instead of the companies that were landlines and got into the business later, gives you better coverage and signal strength. The landline companies cobbled together their networks by buying smaller companies and cell towers to form a network in many cases.

I just returned some phones today. I had spent more than 5 hours on the phone with techs trying to activate them to no avail. Finally called, pushed my way into a manager's extension, and told her under no other terms these were coming back.

Service.
