Cell Phone Grump

[Fisherwoman]

JohnR, We have Cingular wireless, best service ever, I have phone servive if I am 35 miles offshore, in PA on the farm or anywhere here, Did buy the upgraded phones they sell but the rebate covered the cost. Best way in my opinion to go as everybody else I know does not have as good a service as us.

i second the cingular. works jsut about everywhere ive been , when others i have been fishing next to have tried to get service with verizon, no dice.
like everyone else said, rinse with fresh you could try putting your oven on a very low temp, about 60 F to dry it out a little faster.

Verizon's service is questionable. There are spots on the Eastern CT shore -- Stonington & Mystic -- where I have no service at all, but will be offshore in a boat and have great service ... go figure?

I think they all stink, it's a matter of which stinks least -- or maybe it was a message for you to not have a cell phone at all - life seems easier before the cell phone.

I like Verizon, but definately no service on the OB.
My girl did the same thing with her phone, couldn't get it to come back.
She had Verizon activate an old phone; luckilly she was only four weeks away from renewing her contract.
Did you have insurance?
Love,
Rick
PS-I never bring my cell phone fishing and it always works great for everyone involved!

you might need a new phone, my girlfriend lives in 'gansett and i travel from the cape there several times a week and get service the whole way except for a short stretch around mattapoisett.

wow....youd think i worked for cingular or something the way im saying its so good. like finaddict said..."I think they all stink, it's a matter of which stinks least -- or maybe it was a message for you to not have a cell phone at all - life seems easier before the cell phone."
