I live in new orleans, and the last time i evacuated, i and the rest of the 504(new Orleans area code) and surrounding new orleans area code cell phones no longer worked after the storm.
I have a cingular phone, and yes, ALL phones did not work.
The reason is because your phone goes through the towers in the area you are at, then goes home, New orleans, then routes to where the person you are calling is.
The towers in new orleans were not only destroyed, but OVERFLOWED with calls.
So next hurricane season, which is now, i want to be able to make calls.
So i am going over the satellite phone, or Cingular wireless priority services.
I havent found anything reasonable prices for a satellite phone, and Cingular Wireless priority you need to be in the federal government, but we can see about that ;p. That costs 10$ for activation, and a couple extra cents a call.
So does anyone know of any other options, or way arounds?
