-----Original Message----- Mike, Skip and I have had problems with our phone and power cords also.
However, there is a Sprint PCS retail store not far from my house and they
exchanged our old phones and power cords for new ones - on the spot at no
charge. As far as area usage is
concerned, Sprint PCS does not have digital service in large portions of the
South East and they have no analog roaming agreements in many of these blank
areas. Also, when in analog roaming
mode, the phones lose many of their features. I like the Sprint PCS phone and concept. However, if I am out of range the phone
is obviously no good to me until I return to a Sprint service area. Therefore, it follows that our current
cell phone communications problem can only be solved by Sprint. I think that they are building more
towers and opening more areas. The
questions we might ask include - how many years will it take Sprint to develop
a digital network to meet our current needs, and do the perceived
savings in phone charges justify the wait. If not, then maybe we need to look for another national
service provider that can meet our current needs, or as Steve suggested, look
for a regional solution.
