Hi, Everyone
The question of 'communications' raises its ugly head again for the Triumph Trans-AmeriCan Stag. On
arrival in Florida in late June, I plan on buying a 'Pay As You Go' cellphone - something cheap and
cheerful. Not so worried about the make but I am interested in buying one from an ISP with the best
possible coverage of the US and Canada. From my studies on the 'net of T-Mobile, Verizon and I think
O2, Verizon looks the best. I'd appreciate your thoughts on an ISP offering better coverage than
Verizon. Additionally, I'd be interested to know if any ISP retailers offer external antennas for
cellphones. Some parts of Europe (mainly former communist bloc) still have many weak signal areas
where the phone antenna itself won't pull in a call (or transmit) unless its hooked up to an
external antenna. Does the same apply across the pond? I'm thinking of the long stretches of road in
rural areas and in the more mountainous areas - especially the Rockies. Thanks in advance - an
enquiring mind needs to know.
