SMS is the only way

By August 31, 2005Uncategorized

So one thing I learned in this tragedy is that cellphone service was unreliable for most of the tragedy.  The only way to communicate was by SMS.  I showed this trick to a few people and they appreciated it.  Why is it that the SMS works but cellphone service? 

Don’t know.  I guess because it’s a small packet communication.  But I notice that Sprint PCS Vision service was non-operational almost immediately.  Oh well, I’m glad I knew how to use SMS.  It was the only way to communicate from the disaster zone.   Looks like I’m going to have to get a new cellphone # if I want to use my phone for regular voice service.
