- I'm in the market for a cellular phone. It doesn't appear that I have
- much choice in terms of carrier (GTE Mobilnet), but need help in finding
- a phone. I need something that can be moved between cars. I assume that
- limits me to "handheld" or portable models. I'll be using the phone on
- the road to our other campuses. Some of these are described as "good"
- reception areas. However, one freq. traveled road is known to be a poor
- reception area (lots of hills).
-
- Prices for both handheld and portable phones seem to be all over the
- board. I'm looking for any recommendations, questions I should be asking
- and just general advice.
-
- Thanks in advance.
