I am glad we have Verizon, we have service in most places.  Even when we do hit those spots where service is sketchy, we always have it in the car.  My car has OnStar and we have the hands free dialing thru them.  You can link it with your Verizon phone but we did not want to do that because you have to change calling plans and the one we have now, we have had for years and they no longer offer it so they said if we did switch, we would not be able to get the international plan that we have, back, so we bought minutes thru OnStar instead and they gave us a seperate phone number for the car.  There was a couple of places, traveling thru the desert on our way to Disney, that the cell phone showed we did not have service when I wanted to make a call, so I used OnStar and it went thru just fine.  Well, guess I had better scoot, I am running late as it is, but had to check on all you crazy people....
