I must live in the wireless armpit of Seattle. I went and got a new cell phone on a new service yesterday, because my current phone a) is half-broken (if your number has a 1, 2, or 3 in it and you're not in my address book, i'm sorry i haven't been in touch), b) Qwest sucks, and my too-expensive plan is about to run out, and c) i rarely get more than 1 or 2 bars of signal up here, leaving my calls unacceptably broken and "cellular"-sounding. Especially as i use it as my business line.
I happily returned home with my spankin' new digital multi-band phone, with more features than a new Boeing 777, with a sweet new plan from AT&T Wireless (based in Seattle, about 3 miles away from my house, i might add), and MY COVERAGE IS WORSE THAN IT WAS BEFORE!!! It took me 3 tries to even be able to dial into voicemail and record a greeting, i kept getting cut off SITTING IN MY DINING ROOM!!! It's not like i live in the middle of nowhere, i'm on a hill 10 minutes from downtown Seattle. You'd think they'd have a tower on top of the hill, wouldn't you? It's hard to live an mLife when your m has no life. Maybe i'm meant to be a Luddite. I think the phone goes back tomorrow.

I hardly use my land line.
