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:

That's weird. For what it's worth, things have been improving for me in the Rochester NY region. I can now keep my phone in my pocket in my upstairs bedroom without losing signal, pages come through within about 10 minutes instead of the half hours of weeks past, and my stereo's reception of local non-commercial stations is much improved.
I've just been blaming it on the lack of leaves on the trees, but maybe all the good propogation is accumulating up here ;-) -rt
(p.s.: cellular provider is Cellular One [800MHz TDMA], pager is pagenet [two-way], non-commercial radio stations are WBER, WRUR, and WITR)
