I have a AT&T cell with paging.. Both services appear to be functioning just as they always have. Alpha pages reach me within a minute of sending the email. I have never had any fast busies or "no circuits available" related messages. Call processing does vary quite a bit from when I am on the south-west side of Denver (work) and from the south-east side where I live. I recently drove from Denver to Sydney, Nebraska with service just about the entire way. A co-worker with sprint-PCS tells me that his cell has _improved_ in quality recently (ie - better signal strength in basement, etc). But what I hate most about my cell, is that when I am working and nobody is bothering me, then my computer screen starts to wiggle from the interference from the phone, I know a call is coming in and just about throw my phone out the window every time... Just one of those things I guess. Take care all. -Brad Ryan Tucker wrote: > > On Mon, 27 Dec 1999, Deepak Jain wrote: > > Poor signal strength, unusually high number of fast busies when trying to > > reach local and long distance land lines.
