Yep, and when I travel overseas, I never have a communication problem. My cell phone works just fine. As I mentioned yesterday, my phone worked in Burma, Thailand, Taiwan, Laos, Canada, Panama, Mexico. Ireland, Italy, Switzerland, etc.etc.
Only Eric's phone does not work anywhere.
Oh, when I was in Prague in 1994, I had access to my VM in Los Angeles easily. I even had access to my VM from Bratislava, and even had cell coverage in Vienna, Austria.
Eric is a BS'er as usual.
