That is true. However one way or another I just get the feeling they
are going to try to make it impossible to drive older vehicles at some

I seem to recall something about installing 5 g radios or whatever

a cell
phone anyway? I mean in the middle of most cities I get 30-60 and
hit
133 today in Tulsa. In other words, is there a reason I need to rush
out to get the new iphone that is 5g capable? I don't think so.

glass, wood, steel, or masonry. Basically outside only, and no
more than 500 ft from the antenna, as the signal degrades in the
presence of water vapor too.

year because Verizon was dropping support from my Samsung Alias II
