Does Verizon use any of the following networks/bands? GSM 850; GSM 900; GSM 1800; GSM 1900; GPRS; Edge; HSDPA 1.8; HSDPA 3.6; HSDPA 7.2; HSDPA 850; HSDPA 1900; HSDPA 2100; UMTS 850; UMTS 1900; UMTS 2100

no, at the moment verizon is CDMA based until they roll out LTE

Generally they book into a fare that specifically prohibits SDC. YMMV.

No worries. The shop is right outside; I could've done it before I walked in but I was lazy.

Welcome to post 2 3 4 5 6.

That's the type of post an idiot would use on his luggage!

Should be time to board the train here shortly, and then I'll get my booze fix and some quality writing time offline (or at least only on mobile).

"Go for :rolleyes:v" is a ton easier than my old mandated greetings in the Air Farce: office title, followed by rank and name, then a boilerplate admonition about the phone line being unsecured, then a salutation. Entire conversations were shorter than the greeting sometimes.

Jrzyshawn, I heart my 8830...a camera would be nice, but I can wait to upgrade...I don't come due for about another 19 months, but at that point I will go to whatever the Tour equivalent/successor is at that point.

I have had success with SDC on the co weekend specials. So I guess it really is YMMV

San Fran has a severe lack of signage!

I was looking for the golden gate bridge visitors center and ended up up Mission St following the signs that mysteriously ended at a large junction!

sfogate, now I understand why you avoid downtown.

the visitors center says it has no physical address so GPS won't work. great, how does the cafe there get food deliveries, air drop to long/lat coordinates? Can you give me those coordinates so I can manually map my GPS there maybe?

:D :D :D....I told you so. I can get into the city but never out, without alot of swearing, back tracking and luck.

Working on getting you an address or something for the GG Vistor's Center.

Steph3n:

Take 101 North, towards the Golden Gate Bridge. Turn right at the last San Francisco exit, just before the Toll Plaza. Sign reads Golden Gate National Rec Area View Area. Proceed to the stop sign, turn left into the souteast side parking lot. That's were the Gift Shop is and I assume the Vistor's Center is.

Good luck.

Yes I tried that.....:D that is where the signage went AWOL at the junction :)

I think I will go study it on google maps and have it in my memory, then I can make it fine.

Try to avoid looking in the mirror on Acela when slightly drunk. It is behind a piece of backlit plexiglass that offers some very strange phantom reflections.

On the plus (1??) side, my aura looks phenomenal tonight. :D
