humm.... there are 7d #'s in my cell and some 3d #'s also.
and some 14d and lots of 10d numbers. regardless, when i
drive a few hours -WEST- (that would be 140-200 mile off the
LA coast...), none of them work... unless i carry
a micro/pico cell and sat uplink w/ me... (yes the car needs
a hull and a powerplant from a Cigarette). GSM is such a PITA.
And only a few locations I am aware of (Parts of the Gulf of Mexico)
have any cell coverage more than a mile or two offshore w/o
adjunct support (see above)
