True, but it can be amusing dumping him face down in the mud time after time after time.

Yeah, its one of the real downsides with roaming, there isnt any way
to test whether its been enabled properly till you get there and FAR
too many of the store apes cant even manage to get the basics right.

Corse roaming isnt actually much use, its much better to
stick a sim that you get from the wogs in the phone instead.

There's a reason that the best it can manage in the
current very tight labor market is a salesfuckwit.

Its hard for them too with the very tight labor market we have.

Tho in this case, the clowns should have it all spelt out on their web site.

Trouble is that he doesnt have enough viable between his ears
to get a real job even in the current very tight labor market.

You'll get more of a reaction if she just Bobbits him.
