Tricksy

[sethgray]

Okay, so if you've read enough of these random ass babblings you know I want a white iPhone like I want to keep breathing. I shouldn't be so dramatic. I really want one with a burning, white-hot intensity of a million stars exploding. But that's beside the point.

My point is whether or not I can even have one where I live. I've fiddled around with the apple site, and when it gets to the point that I have to tell them I live in Bum Fuck, Wyoming it always comes back that AT&T doesn't offer wireless service in my area. However, the website coverage viewer map thing says they have "partner service," so if I just told the online form I actually live somewhere else, would the phone work when I got it?

I wish there was someone I could ask, but that's not the kind of thing I could really tell the apple help line, now is it?

My mom was telling me that the AT&T ads trying to justify themselves just make her believe the Verizon ads that say AT&T has mostly dead zones across the US.

I pointed out that AT&T's cellular service is really Cingular, having been bought by the renamed Southwestern Bell. The name makes them sound less shabby than they actually are.

Where in WY are you? I used to have family on the eastern edge, just across from Scotts Bluff.

I'm on the other side of the state from that, a tiny little town you've never heard of.

And yes, Verizon has a wider network range, but AT&T has the iPhone, so.

I heard that Alltel in Wyoming is becoming AT&T so Verizon isn't a monopoly. Don't ask me when that will actually happen, though.

Also, if you tell them you're somewhere else your number will be weird and other issues very well may ensue...and if there's no service, there's no service.
