    Nomophobes, beware.

    Even better, don't warn them and just look at your blank screen and tell them you have great service !!

    Pretty funny, good one Mags.

    I really like when I finish the day and can't get a signal, ends that issue for the day.

    You guys would LOVE living here. The hotel has no phones or TVs in the rooms. There's no cell phone service for more than 25 miles in either direction.
    If not NOW, then WHEN?
