Sneaking on again just 'cause I'm ticked off and want to rant. Got the latest e-bill from the my phone company. Remember I've been saying I can't get a decent signal with thenewphoneIdidn'twant? Well...turns out what signal I *do* get, they apparently count as roaming / delayed somethingorother, so the few minutes of miserable reception I've used to try to tell folks I'll call 'em back someday have cost me big.

I'd take the phone back and trade it for a different one since the old one worked OK and it's apparently just this phone, but I don't think they'd let me do that. Plus the next one up would cost an additional thirty or forty bucks, I'd guess. And I don't want a land line. I just don't.

So I'm really feeling cranky.

You may actually be able to take that one back, if you don't delay. Roaming or not, it's not even been workable and you've had it less than 30 days.

BUT, that said, if you look through the menus, you may be able to set it to "never roam". Right now, it's probably trying to find the strongest signal, even if there's a 'home' signal available that's weaker. I had one that did that. I set it to never roam and it would make do with any on network signal it could find.
