Friends, friends! Lets not bicker! We all know the most reliable technology is 2CAAS (2-cup-and-a-string). .
But really each technology will be better/worse in different areas. I won't repeat my last example but choose which provider is good in your area and use them.
ROFLOL. You might be right. I've always said if T-Mobile gets eaten up by AS&S, I'll go back to smoke signals. But, you're right 2CAAS is definitely more reliable. Oh, and did you ever get a dropped carrier/no signal alert with that tech? I didnt think so. Even weather can affect smoke signals.
