I guess the best isn't nearly good enough, then. The last cellular provider
article I read in CR had me ROFLMAO. For example, they rated the nextel
network as having better coverage than Cingular. All over the U.S., that is
just simply WRONG. I carried both (nextel and cingular GSM) handsets for
years. I carried various brands/models of nextel handsets because I had no
choice (employer insisted). No matter where I went (many states, constantly
on the move), I had to more often than not use my personal Cingular handset
to make business calls, as the nextel network is useless.
BTW, before someone states the obvious . . . nextel didn't always carry JUST
motorola brand handsets. I carried various motorola brand handsets and
other brand handsets on the nextel network. They all had the following in
common . . . no signal, (not able to make calls with STRONG SIGNAL), most
incoming calls go STRAIGHT TO VOICEMAIL, and voicemail often delayed for
HOURS (in areas with strong signal, also). -Dave
