FeedbackThank-you! Thank-you! I hope this info on our experience will in some way help with your site! You are providing a great and needed service to this area! Thanks again, R.S. ———————————————————————— Thanks for giving the customer a better shot at choosing a carrier. R.G. I recently tested a Motorola V505 flip phone… …where our Nextels barely worked. The V505 is a Quadband phone and it seemed to pickup a signal in more locations. It did have some trouble but by simply walking around a little, I found a strong signal to make a call. We then purchased 8 V180 Quadband phones for our company, and switched from Nextel to AT&T Wireless… . Thank you, D. M. |
