I have tried to get Easy Roaming service in the Philadelphia area with no success. Any idea why it is not available? David Farber; Prof. of CIS and EE, U of Penn, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6389 Tele(215): 898-9508(off); 274-8292 (home); FAX: 274-8293; Cellular: 870-0175 X400 address is: pn=david.farber/ou=cis/o=upenn/prmd=xnren/c=us [Moderator's Note: I am not sure what you mean by 'Easy Roaming' service. Are you referring to the ability to leave the Philadelphia area and have your cell calls follow you through instructions you send back from some distant point, or are you referring to the ability to be in Philadelphia and receive calls forwarded there from elsewhere? Have you asked the respective carriers in Philadelphia if they offer the service? Some companies, like Ameritech, require an advance subscription to the service, which here they call 'Fast Track Follow Me'. Also, if you have inquired/subscribed, and still cannot activate it, then it may be your serial number is on the denied list, meaning at some point in time some cellular carrier got paranoid about you. You would need to specifically ask customer service to remove this condition. PAT] ------------------------------ End of TELECOM Digest V10 #576 ******************************
