PAT] How about "0", it's always in service, and fast to dial. 411 works in many areas, it may be faster than 0, depending on your fingers. (Mine left pinky really hurts when I have to crank that darned dial all the way around to 0, so I need to pause a couple of seconds before I can regain the strength to release the dial.) Can we drop this topic now? Does anyone know of any gadgets for a Novatel phone that would allow me to plug a standard jack into it and use a portable terminal? For those of you that have a Novatel phone, it's pretty easy to program. Just lock the phone with the fcn-lock command, and unlock it with #259. Hitting the volume button steps through the options, the SND (spend) key toggles any binary (SET/CLR) options and the END key saves options and reboots the phone.
