3/4     I'm thinking of moving to a shack in Montana.  Can I turn
        my tmobile cell phone number somehow to Skype ?
        \_ Yup
           \_ Has anyone done this?  Will they forward this to another
              number?
        \_ I recommend insulting your shack well.

        \_ Maybe he will actually allow his OS to run in a VM some day.
           I don't get all of the iPhone hype. It's a phone. It's a nice
           phone, but it's a phone. It doesn't do anything existing
           devices didn't do, do them cheaper, or possibly even better (I
           haven't used one yet, so I can't say). Why is there so much

4/19    I've been on verizon for a few years now, and haven't had many problems,
        but I don't like their selection of phones. I'm considering Cingular.
        Does anyone have any significant pros/cons for a Verizon to Cingular
        switch? Thanks.
        \_ You can't ask anything about phone companies and expect a consistent
           answer. It's like a game of the musical chair. Company A gives you

11/7    I don't know why this was deleted so reposting:
        Thinking of switching from Verizon to Cingular.  Mostly use in Mountain
        View and sometimes Berkeley.  Thoughts?
        \_ Cingular is pretty good in the South Bay. I haven't had any problems
           in the 4+ years I've been w/ AT&T and Cingular. One downside,
           Cingular's unlimited data plan is (was?) pretty expensive. --ranga

6/25    My name just popped up on someone's caller id.  I don't know
        how that infomation was sent across, I thought the number would
        be the only thing sent.  It's a cell phone and shouldn't be listed,
        any idea how that happened?  --jwm
        \_ they have been sending names via callerid pretty much from the
           start. this includes cell phones. -shac

4/22    Does anyone here in CA have either T-Mobile or Cingular GSM service?
        If so, could you tell me where you are and how good the coverage
        is there? Thanks. - ciyer
        \_ Used to have sprint, switch to cingular.  Sprint calls felt less
           staticy, and Cingular sold me a phone that died just days after
           the warrantee expired.

2/18    Is it possible to have 2 cell phones with the same number? I want
        to get a Treo, but I don't want to have to lug it around when I'm
        not at work, so I'd like to use my current, smaller phone during
        those other times. Would this be possible? Thanks.
        \_ No, but most (all?) cell phone providers will let you change
           between them from the website. I know Verizon does this.

2/4     I am going to Europe for the first time since Cell phones became
        ubiquitous.  My understanding is that my American cell phone will
        not work.  Is there such a thing as a cheap, pre-paid phone that
        one can use for just a week while in Europe?  Do they suck?  Where
        would one buy such a thing?  I'll be in France, a few miles outside
        of Paris.  Thanks.

2/1     Dear old farts. What was the consumer end of telecomm like before
        the 1983 divestiture of AT&T into 7 baby Bells, in terms of price
        for consumers, sound quality, reliability, and service?
        \_ Most of you youngin' were too young to remember this but back
           then long distance calls were prohibitively expensive. On the
           other hand, you didn't have tons of long distance carriers to
