about upgrading your _SPRINT_ Startac remains...

_IF_ you want better _SPRINT_ service.

- that is all.

I think you have it there, Bill.
One of my friends needs to be easily reached for his business, he says the
old "bag phones", on analog are the best for connecting here in the
mountains. They come cheap at garage sales, and like any cellphone, can be
used for 911 calls without subscribing to a service. On the other hand, I
understand that analog's days are numbered.

I wonder when the day comes that Verizon will no longer support
analog, if they will still give me the four hundred dollar phone for
free and two thousand minutes for twenty bucks a month they are offering
now. Or will they say "too late"?
