Re: See this all the time It is for reasons like this that in an emergency for wireless communications the Hamradio operator with a 2 meter Handy Talky can be depended on to get a message through. No there is no twittering on a iPhone but at least the traffic gets through. Back in the mobile phone days, this is before cell phones, Bell Telephone built their systems with what one friend of mine who used to service this network called obscene amounts of backup. The Bell system built it to be as close to the reliability of their POTS as possible with wireless communication as it was done in those days. Now with Cell phones, cut throat competition, and little in the way of Government standards of performance a cell system only needs to work when things are mostly normal for everything else the Telcos have found it cheaper to make up excuses.
