: : hey could you guys all share your post quake cellular experience? my cellular covarage sucked.
: : provider Verizon, mode digital. I couldn't make a call for about 4 hours. when i finally could i was dropping out left and right. Text messages to my cell were resent upwards of 8 times.
: : I was really rethinking my provider when 2 hours post quake i couldn't make a call but i saw 3 people in a one block area blabben on their cells.
: I use voice stream I had service all the way through, it was slow at times had to try the number 2-3 times but i got out, I was impressed. I was considering dropping them because some times they are spotty and you get alot of dropped calls but this event changed my mind
i use sprint, usually excellent, didn't work for at least 4 hours, quest land line worked fine (west seattle area) someone told me that they only had problem with sprint when they called locally so they comunicated by calling friends in newyork using long distance that worked fine, go figure...
