Hi!
> I was wondering if anyone has dropped their landline, and went cell > 100%. Although there are some "cons" for going 100% cellular (if something at home needs a "normal" phone line like a FAX machine or something like Tivo or DirecTV receivers where you use the remote to order pay-per-view stuff - you can call their 800 number and order it, but get a surcharge tacked on whatever you order), the "pros" can be compelling if you have good service where you live and work. I've gone without a home phone line since 1998 - first with Sprint PCS (decent service at home at that time, still pretty good) but switched to T-Mobile a little over a year ago and still no problems. I started with a Nokia 6610, and now use a Nokia 6600. I didn't want to play the Sprint PCS "game" of having to rent another phone - a GSM phone, no less - should I want to travel to most foreign countries yet have my number follow me. A multi-band GSM phone has been very good for me, despite the high roaming charges in some places. Much better than having to find phone cards or the proper coins to use a pay phone in a foreign country you've just arrived in. I have the T-Mobile Internet (VPN option) on my service, and can use that from home if needed. If I need to download lots of stuff, I do it at the office and put it onto a CD or my laptop before going home. After 8, 9, 10 hours or more of computers and servers at the office, having Internet at home for much more than checking e-mails and occasionally checking on the stuff in the office isn't necessary. The only issues with T-Mobile service locally have been in some parts of the metropolitan area (not around my house or office). At least there appears to be faster response from T-Mobile to coverage issues than Sprint ever gave me in the past. Good luck! Patrick Stoddard - Phoenix AZ ------------------------ Yahoo!
