That way, I might (or might not) have better coverage. <br /><br />I don't use the Tracfone much, so I have lots of minutes built up. They rollover indefinitely but you have to buy a minimum every 3 months. <br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17951727880570515197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10761788.post-16342511562192133762010-01-26T17:04:07.968-05:002010-01-26T17:04:07.968-05:00OMG.

Here’s how it’s done.<br /><br />1. Tap and hold your finger on the text box you are copying text from for about 2 seconds.<br /><br />2. A menu appears where you can select Select text.<br /><br />3. Drag your finger across the text you wish to copy.<br /><Mark Groenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07958789350628378940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10761788.post-70840915894542519472010-01-26T14:55:16.826-05:002010-01-26T14:55:16.826-05:00Judith- Boy, have I sure been tempted by those nif...Judith- Boy, have I sure been tempted by those nifty smartphones, but I haven’t taken the bait yet. As far as your Tracfone, it depends on what phone model you have. If you Google the specs on your particular Tracfone model, it should tell you if it uses GSM or CDMA. This doesn’t mean a whole lot, as I have yet to see a cell tower advertising as to what type it is.

How can I tell which tower network my phone works with? <br /><br />I am either going to get a Blackberry and tether it to my laptop (not allowed in the fine print for most, but not all carriers) or get an air card for the little netbook and do what you suggest--use the phone just for phone calls. <br /><br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17951727880570515197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10761788.post-22270935600300090102010-01-26T13:08:57.987-05:002010-01-26T13:08:57.987-05:00Katie- I feel your frustration.

Some of my efforts have been a success, but not when it comes to technology. Given the annoyance of cell phone companies' contract policies, and their impersonal big corporate management hierarchy, I would use a cell phone for one thing- making calls.
