THAT doesn't surprise me.

I have been carrying GAIT phones because many of the places I visit  
only have analog.

Much of rural Nevada is analog only.  Some of Pennsylvania,, some of  
West Virginia, some of Oregon, some of Idaho.  I am SURE there are  
other states, but I don't go there.

It is STUPID to say that cellular is now only digital.
