OK, so no matter what cell company I'm with, or what digital
system my phone has, I should be able to use my phone
throughout the US?
 JS> The new PCS digital phones are coming online all over the country.
 JS> These digital systems are strictly digital and there is no analog to

I've heard enough about the PCS system lately to know I
should stay away from if for a few years.
Thank You
  and
 
Blessed Be
