    Please read through this to see just how misinformation abounds outside WA!
    Amazing! I was surprised they got the names of the carriers correct. ;)

    Especially, I think the guy who posted this deserves an award:
    "actualy verizon especialy in the tri state area is mainly a gsm provider. they do have some cdma towers but those are from companys they bought out thats why most verizon phones are tri band for tdma cdma and gsm."

    I'm so tired of "update your PRL" posts. It really annoys me to the point where I challenge those kind of posts every time I see one. The Sprint store employees were famous for doing this.

    That site http://cellphoneforums.net has something goofy going on. If I try to go into it from work our corporate IS error messsage comes up in the banner.The message reads something like this:

    If you feel that you have received this page in error, please contact

    So is one of their sponsor is doing something a little shady?

    I think it is spyware ad. Charlyee.....our corporate controls our internet :censored: :banghead: (we hate corporate if you cannot tell ;) )

    It only appears in that one box. I can still access the forums. WHen I bring the page up....that area has our Websense firewall message similar to yours.....it says

    WEBSENSE

    Your organization's Internet use policy restricts access to this web page at this time.

    Reason:
    The Websense category "Spyware" is filtered.

    But honestly, the existence of forums like cellphoneforums.net makes many people feel a LOT less stupid. ;) The trolls there are far worse than in HoFo.

    I visit CPF frequently lately and i've noticed they are in need of some of our experienced staff and members we have here at WA.. ;)

    they do have trolls there but it's not any worse than HOFO, i can count very easily the few members that stand out that have some knowledge about cell phone technology and the wireless industry, and while some of the info that's posted there can be off by a mile, or two (really bad).... :rolleyes:
    some of the Mods there are some of the nicest people i've met.

    I tried to do that on sprintusers.com and the site owner told me I had to remove it. But yet on Hofo they don't seem to care much.

    What are you talking about, Bobo? Verizon has the nation's best GSM network... if you consider Vodaphone owns part of Verizon and you don't specify which nation you're referring to. :eek: Good find, I haven't laughed this hard in ages.
