Re: [azipa] Mobile Phone Service



I use Alltel (it used to be Cellular One), and I have had it flake on me 
occasionally.  In California, the phone was on analog all the time instead 
of digital, which really ate up the batteries, and I seemed to have 
problems receiving calls even when the phone was on.  They would instead go 
to my voicemail.  However, more disturbingly, last night I was in Sedona to 
meet some friends, and my friend, who was calling from a Sprint PCS cell 
phone, couldn't call me successfully.  The connection kept getting lost 
after 2 seconds or so.  When I tried calling her, her phone rang abortively 
but didn't connect when she answered.  Fortunately I knew we were both in 
Tlaquepaque so I just yelled loudly and found her. Anybody have any idea 
why the phones would have problems connecting like this?  I am not familiar 
with other carriers, and would love to know if this is just a problem with 
Alltel, or comes with the cellular territory.
