I figure that if its that important, they will leave a message.

Re: iPhone 4 reception at WDW
My reasons as well. And with another juicy gig in the offing, it's worth the inconvenience. Plus any emergency support calls trigger a days pay for me. And I like to use the wait times app "Lines" to see whats going on on the other side of the park before I walk over to encounter a 70 minute wait.ktulu wrote:Two fold, one I am sometimes separated from Mrs. Ktulu when we ride alone, and two, while not on-call 24/7, I am pretty much on-call 24/7 :/

I have an old cell phone. (SP) Razer. It works and if I want to up grade, Verizon charges more.

My RAZR is four years old. I just put a new battery in, did a little cleaning, and it's as good as new.turkeyham wrote:I have an old cell phone. (SP) Razer. It works and if I want to up grade, Verizon charges more.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

and I called them.

I disagree. I have had both and I have ATT now,never once did it go below full bars, ANYwhere I went.Zazu wrote:Signal strength varies greatly by company. Some have excellent coverage, some not so good. Verizon now has an excellent presence, thanks to their cooperative software program. AT&T is weak or absent on most of the property.
In fact, the AT&T sales team was a no-show for a cast even today, so I'm pretty negative about them right now.
Re: iPhone 4 reception at WDW
I've had good luck with AT&T on WDW property. Even on the golf courses, I get a great signal. (I'm not talking on the cell phone while playing golf, which is a big no-no, but I have used it to look up weather forecasts and such just to make sure that there's not going to be a thunderstorm.)

Re: iPhone 4 reception at WDW
Yeah, the apps are useful. So is letting the kiddos play games while in line. Due to my position, I don't get anything if I get called (or when I'm in the normal on-call rotation), but I do have perks of a schedule that is not strictly enforced, plus I can work from home, and I also have the company issued equipment that allows me to work from anywhere. Once I took care of an issue while cruising down the highway, my wife was driving, so it wasn't that exciting :)delsdad wrote:My reasons as well.

It would be really weird if I called work after finding out something while on vacation. Unless a customer happened to call me directly, which could happen. I consider a few of them friends.GRUMPY PIRATE wrote:HEHEHE

Since I am not really in the "customer" business, it only happens when something major happens.ktulu wrote:Yeah, the apps are useful. So is letting the kiddos play games while in line.

it was on 9-11-2001, and it made a bunch of us rather busy.
