Or you should shoot for comprehension. What the contract in this
case has to do with it is that if you battery life and reception suck
pond scum, as soon as your contract is up you'll be leaving that carrier
for another one. I didn't misread that you want documented proof that
one carrier is better than another. That's not going to happen.

And yet Navas claims one is better than the others- frequently. I simply
asked him to prove it. This should relatively simple for him, as his bold
claims should be due to some sort of data. Of course, he's blowing nothing
but hot air and opinion..

As far as comprehension, anyone with a third grade education and more than a
week in this group knows exactly what I was saying.

They don't let you use the free trial very often ... that would be stupid.
Who gives you free accounts?

So you go without your personal phone number, and so does whoever you swapped
with? Seems a bit far fetched in my opinion [which is what it is].

Carriers and hardware manufacturers.

With all due respect, you lack imagination -- that's a problem easily
solved.

Are we done now?
