cell phones--age related?

didn't do cell phones. In fact, she didn't handle competition very well at all.

It is a dilemma, I expect there is a high chance that the merger will go through. I get really good reception with Sprint up and down the east coast, where I travel frequently these days. I didn't have any problems when I took a round-the-country road trip just over a year ago, either, but I didn't try to make a lot of calls from Oklahoma or New Mexico.

I suppose that I might have to find some independent company that uses the Sprint network, and go with them. Right now, my main issue is being able to use my phone as a hotspot for Internet connectivity for my laptop. In SC, that's not a problem, because we have at cheap cable and Internet package through our homeowner's association. And 5 gigs of hotspot was not enough, so I bought a tablet and a plan for it. Since Sprint kicked up the smartphone's hotspot amount up to 50 gigs a month, I dropped the tablet plan.
