I have Sprint PCS with automatic cellular roaming. I don't use the
Cellset regularly and the last time I did was on a XC into Dallas.. or
maybe Tyler... cant remember which. I seemed to recall not being able to
get a dependable signal until descending below 5k.

On the ground it worked fine.

I second that... on the ground, and if you can get signal... in the air

yer ride know you are 20 mins out.



My CellSet works great, but I've never been able to use it in the air. My
Nextel phone always says "no service" when airborne. Does Nextel have some
built in software that cuts you off if you connect to too many towers at
once?
