Verizon. But I'm beginning to wonder about it. Our plan is up on the 20th of Dec. We may switch.

Verizon is the only other company I'd even consider switching to if I were to leave T-Mobile. Everyone in the local hiking community swears by them. Apparently, they're the most reliable when you need to make a call in the middle of a wilderness, on a mountain top or even just in a National Park. Nobody else has comparable coverage in remote areas.

only problem with Verizon is their customer service!!

I've found AT&T to be pretty good though

Baby baboons are really funny!

In my experience, nobody has decent customer service. I dropped that as a qualifier for who I do business with a long time ago. It just doesn't matter. They all suck badly in that department.

It cost an extra $30 a month just to add texting to our plan. I don't think I want it that much. Sheesh. (there's limited texting options too but you pay per phone for those and it works out the same...gads)

What plan do you have? That's ridiculous. We are Verizon, and we added unlimited texting to all our phones once Marian got hers, and it was only 10 bucks a month. Or 5 a month if you want to pay 10 cents per text or something like that.

Wade has tried numerous others with his work phone, and we've always been with Verizon for our personal cell phones. Verizon is the best choice in our area, hands down.

Yep. Verizon works in Nevada in the boonies where my folks live, and no other cell service works there.

WOW Deeds! Those falls are amazing!

And that baby baboon is so ugly he's adorable.

one question...some of my actions have a "pass through" opacity option in them but when I'm not using them, I don't get that option for regular layers. Does anyone know how to find it (or make it available?)

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't see the ugly...

He's cute!

And I just realized it's past my bed time. G'night!

Lisa, when I did a search, these two articles came up. See if there's anything in them? I personally have never seen the 'pass through' opacity option.

I'm with Unicel, which has been bought out by Verizon. I was planning on switching to Verizon anyway though. I have a family plan, plus insurance on both phones, can't remember how many minutes (I think 1200), and on just my phone unlimited texting. Bill is usually around $80.

Yep me too. Just depends on the service agent you get when you call in. Some know what they are doing and others don't or don't care.

I got the Viveza trial to try out. I love it!!! Very easy to use. I'm checking into getting it with that academic discount. It's $100 cheaper that way.

Make it two

And it's bed time for me as well. But before turning the lights off, I just want to post another shot of the Vic Falls. On this one, you can better appreciate the size ot those falls. The cliffs on the far left handside are in Zimbabwe... (I'll post shots from there too - when I'll get around to process them)

I have to say that the light was quite difficult. Even with a filter, with all the water in suspension it's very difficult not to blow the sky...

Very very pretty! I love waterfalls. Wish I didn't have to drive so far to see them. Beautiful pics make up for it though!!!!
