As long as the topic of cellphones has been brought up, here are two related questions:
Problem: For some reason, my Sprint phone won't work where I work anymore. It does work elsewhere, but tech support can't tell me why it doesn't work next to Old Town Alexandria (beyond a possible lightning strike on a tower, which will take an indefinite time to fix). Well, c'est la guerre. I had been thinking of switching services anyway. So here's question #1: does anyone know of a really good deal in the national capitol area for basic phone service (either buying phone service alone, or bundled with other services such as DSL)? We were thinking of Verizon, because of their wide coverage area-does anyone have experience with Verizon cellphone service? Question #2: in your experience, do you find it useful to have a phone that does things other than phone calls? The extra bells and whistles-e.g. interfacing with your computer-do you actually find them useful or essential, or are they just nice to have, but not critical? (I'm trying to decide whether to go for the basics, or pay more for more features. The only features I HAVE to have is the same phone number I have now, and voicemail. Obviously there are a lot of ways a phone can be more than a phone-and interact with other electronics-are they worth the extra money? What do YOU think?) --Constance Warner ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
