Next message: Ron Rogers: "Re: T&T: Alternator Replacement Capacity"
It's the tower your hitting. See if you aren't on another company's tower -
your phone should display "Extended Network" and not roaming. When you move
4 miles, you have probably hit a "native" Verizon tower. On the East Coast
of NC, I'm on the Extended Network hitting Alltel towers. Alltel only
supports Verizon customers at 14.4 for data and Verizon is surprised I get
that. As I get closer to Durham, I get Verizon towers. Verizon is supposedly
putting up their own coastal towers now - but they seem to be behind
promised schedule.

| A US example:
| We are 500 yards inside the Mississippi border from Tennessee on Pickwick
| Lake.
| Verizon must not be licensed in this part of Mississippi because while I
can
| get voice, they won't pass the data portion on to their server. The signal
| strength is fine, they respond with "can't find your account" or something
| to that effect. The same message I got in Canada.
|
| When I hop in the car and drive 4 miles into Tennessee Verizon is happy
and
| I can connect.
| (Maybe if I disabled the GPS???)
