I think with the newer phones this is done automatically.

3G and earlier phones can still to *228. 4G does it automatically...it does nothing for them.

I just had a conversation with Verizon about the tower overlooking Alton Bay. I still have no improvement in signal from that tower, but Verizon in a press release says that it is active. Will let you know if I find out anything there with the Alton Tower...

Back to Gunstock.

You actually spoke to someone from Verizon? They are so hard to get on the phone. You deserve a prize!

They are really helpful there, aren't they? I wondered how you managed to first, get to the right person and second get the right answer, through the phone. Now I know! LOL
