[Idyllchat] mobile phones

[Jay Cloidt]

That's new. When they were Cingular, your phone would not connect with the
networks in Europe. I know, I tried. You had to activate their use or the
networks did not recognize your billing agency and wouldn't connect you with
the system.

It would not surprise me that they have the networks talking to each other
now. That is a natural progression of the technology.
