I am betting the signal in Queens NY must be awful as the few times I have tried to do anything when I am not on Wifi the experience has been miserable. I did not notice how many bars I had at the time of this comedy of errors. At least I was able to laugh it off, yes but it was quite frustrating. Was not sure if FaceTime did work when you are not on Wifi but the one time I needed it it did not. On Oct 24, 2014, at 3:20 PM, Woody Anna Dresner <wadres...@att.net> wrote:
