What exactly is the problem you’ve experienced? Hearing people on the other end? People asking you to speak up, etc…?



That is the exact issue/problem. It’s not a major problem, but I believe that many phones I’ve used in the past were better … cell phones.

Now, one absolute negative with an I-Phone relates to overseas travel. Not that the phone does not work well, but that the cost is simply prohibitive.

For instance, when traveling to Mexico, anyone who does not immediately set the phone in airplane mode or disconnects every possible way ATT (data cost, two-way traffic on voicemail, etc) can STEAL from you is asking for problems. Simply stated, your I-Phone in Mexico is as valuable as carrying a brick unless someone else picks up the tab. Added to the constant risk of having it stolen in the hotel, it’s best to leave it at home.

Fortunately, the combination of using VOIP and a local throwaway cell phone makes living without the US phone pretty easy. Of course, there is always hope that ATT might decide to expand one of its North American plan again.
