Hey folks,

I'm hoping someone can help me with this.. if so, TIA.  The battery life on
my phone is horrible -- I charge it at night, with the phone off, and take
it off in the morning when I go to work.  By the time I go to bed, I'm
getting low battery beeps.

I understand that the problem is because it's on Analog.. but that's where
my confusion starts.  My wife has the exact same phone, we both work in the
same building.  For a vast majority of the day, we're within 100 feet of
each other.

I've spoken with AllTel, and got a new battery (after twisting their arm).
That was no help.  The second time I went in, I told them that I thought it
was a problem with the reception I was getting -- since my wife is in the
same place as me, and she'll be on Digital 100% of the time, while I'm on
Analog.  They promptly reset my settings to factory default" and sent me on
my way.

What I'm wondering, is there some default setting that is making my phone
choose Analog?  I've noticed that when I'm on Analog, and then turn my phone
off and back on again, I get a strong Digital signal.

Thanks again, hopefully someone can help me get some decent battery life out
of the phone!
