You've seen the TV ads for that cell-phone provider that brags about its network's reach? Well, it's so good that yesterday my wife called me from home while I was at one end of our usual grocery store and the only way I could get any signal was by walking out of the building. It's a good thing for them that my employer is paying for this otherwise I'd have cancelled my contract. Of course, if I had been the one paying for it, I would never have gone for that provider as it is my understanding that they used to make large contributions to Tom DeLay's coffers.

Oddly, I'm a subscriber too.

Doesn't it make you feel a bit dirty? Heheheh... Meanwhile, it's quite obvious that my cell phone number was recycled. About once a month, I get a caller asking for someone named Nacho. That's an average. But I was called yesterday, while at a movie theater, and this morning, but luckily I was already awake.

I don't think my number is recycled. I hardly ever get wrong numbers.

Cingular might be worse.
