This I think I understand. Both of them should be operating on the same wavelength, but perhaps the towers in the area of the building are set such that only one of them gets thru.

I had thought of that as well....but since we are going to stay with GSM under any circumstances (International travel) - I was hoping that there'd be no difference between GSM carriers.

In any event, thanks much for the help so far!!
