I need to change carriers.  Is it possible to set up a new
number with the new carrier to do the 14 day trial to
test coverage, then port my old number when I know
I'm happy?

Can anyone recommend a US based provider with superior international
coverage?  We travel primarily in western europe, Japan, China and
Australia.  It would be nice to find one provider that could cover them
all with one phone.

I currently have Sprint, 4 phones sharing 2000 minutes.  3 phones
are in area code 919(NC), one is in 404 (GA).  But Sprint coverage
is bad at my daughters new college (UNC Chapel Hill) so I want to switch.
(Contract has expired, I'm on month to month.)

Well, ok, this is only indirectly related to cellular, but is it
possible to have *no* LD carrier on your landline?  Are any fees
saved by doing that?
SBC is dropping all their no-monthly-fee LD plans, and I don't want

Is there any way to lookup a cell phone number to see who it is? I
already tried reversephonedirectory.com and found the carrier's name,
but can't find the owner's name.

Well my nice v710 is dead for unknown reasons and it is not covered by
warranty due to 'moisture exposure' (dot in battery compartment is red
and not green).  Anyone know where I can buy
one of the dots as I don't want to spend another $250 on a 3 month old

Anyone know where to purchase a cellular phone jammer, preferably
stateside.  There are vendors off shore, but none here in CONUS
that I know of.  Please post here any US vendors that sell cellular

I have 3 GSM lines on a family plan with a year+ left on the contract.
My daughter would like a new phone but:
- I'm not that crazy about their service and the lack of GSM service for
the vast areas of AZ outside of GSM range. My previous AT&T TDMA phones

Since all this new technology came there have been changes in pattern
of leisure, attitudes, and changes in work and study.. Not to mentio

Your Cellphone is a Terrorist Tool

Did you know that all cellphones contain a device that when activated

I was wondering if it is possible to send a picture I took with my
Audiovox 8910 cell phone to a designated email address. If this is not
possible, does this mean that the only way to get pictures from a cell
phone to a computer is by data cable?

Sorry for my lack of knowledge in this subject. Does there exist a cell
phone or
other equipment that can be used to covertly record person to person
transactions with video/sound signal to a remote computer/recorder,

Hey guys,
I am wondering if there is a US cell provider that offers a plan that has
free roaming in Canada - Toronto and Montreal to be specific.
Thanks!

There are many low cost phones under $50, and many that cost $100 to almost
$300 dollars. So my question is what is it in the technology or electronics
of the phone that can allow for the difference in cost?
