If your car was broken down on a deserted road and your Verizon phone didn't
work and your high-powered CB Radio didn't work (that's a big TEN-FOUR good
buddy!), you would say anything to use my working cell phone! :-)

P.S. Your conversations on those fancy CB Radios are not private. Did you
know what other folks can hear everything that you say when you are on
channel 19 talking to the truckers and lot lizzards? :-)

Also, PCS works very well when it is deployed well.
