3 January 1997 Ottawa Canada
Interesting to hear of the clone-for-fraud problem being the main
problem.  Well I could phone up the customer service manager of
Bell Mobility Cellular in montreal (I have her direct number) and
speak my mind, but she probably is not high enough up the totem
pole to be listened to by the suits who set the rate plans.
In-car phones in canada are getting to be rare.  However my
comment to anyone who goes out of town much and especially if
they must make calls while in motion is to for heaven's sake get
the extended system with hands-free for their Motorola phone.
It is really and truly the way to go and there is no substitute
for a hands-free in a car.
While I tell the people at Bell Mobility Cellular they are good
heads, I also tell them sometimes i swear their heads are made of
wood as they have some of the dumbest rate plans I have ever
heard of.
I'm not sure if cellular finger-printing each legitimate phone
will solve the problem either.  I hear the big problem is people
who clone Canadian cellular phones and then go and use them down
in the U.S.!  I doubt if the carriers will grant each other read
access to their finger-print file.
... If it wasn't for C, we would be using BASI, PASAL and OBOL!
