Another funny. For some reason, every friend I have that’s ever asked to go hiking with me seems to have Verizon. In nearly every instance I can recall, they have had service when I have not.

Another not so funny. My phone did not work in an actual life and death situation. It took 10 minutes of time before we were able to call 911 because of AT&T. Had my friend had her Verizon phone with us (which worked everywhere) paramedics could have arrived 10 minutes sooner. In this case, it did not matter, but you can’t help to think that in other situations, that 10 minutes of time could have been the difference between life and death.

AT&T: More bars in more places, except in remote areas where life and safety hinge on cell phone coverage. Thanks AT&T, can’t wait until our contract expires.

What a crappy ass company I would love to take a piss on their corporate office sign.
