Furthering my absorbtion into the collective, I now am operating on an iPhone. The service hasn't completely ported over; texts are making it, but incoming calls are still headed over to the old phone. I'm a bit sad at losing Metro tunnel service, but I'm looking forward to the slightly lower bill. Amazingly I get full bars in my apartment, something that never happened with the former carrier. And the keyboard, while occasionally odd, is working okay.

"losing Metro tunnel service"

So only one carrier's repeaters are allowed in the Metro tunnels? Seriously? How odd.

Verizon absorbed the company that placed the original repeater system, and has kept restricted access - occasionally, analog signals from other carriers will work - but it is rare.

It's not like verizon phones work that great down there anyway.

And is there anything worse than someone sitting behind you
yelling into their phone?

There is reasonably good tunnel access in SF, and I believe it is across providers.

"And is there anything worse than someone sitting behind you

Agreed. However, that access is handy for text messaging.

Amen. I used it a lot for text messaging, and the occasional email check, when I had Verizon.

Also, google has a mobile gateway setting that you can use to surf a 'scrubbed' set of web pages.

I kinda figured that's what you'd gotten. [[[jealous]]]

Hey, now we have the same service provider. That and a dime will get you a text message. ;)

I remember getting cell service on the metro in DC when I visited there a couple of years ago and it was a selling point. But up here, V just really doesn't cover that well outside of the urban areas.

I went with A and have had a similar experience as you.
