I'm finding numerous people lately have cellphones with horrible voice quality. One in particular recently went Verizon + Iphone and she's almost impossible to understand much of the time. I'm assuming this isn't my phone or network since I have clear voice with other people, particularly my family in Canada, who tend to use landlines. It makes me hesitant to get a new phone, even beyond my policy of not changing electronics while the old units still function adequately for their main purposes. Does it tend to be the network or the device that leads to bad voice quality? Or could it be less regular things like the tower she happens to be near or the configuration of buildings around hers? Or does it hurt to cross networks? Come to think of it another person I couldn't stand talking to had verizon (and I do not). -- Mike Small smallm at sdf.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.org
