RE: [OT] 3G mobile phone network coverage

Interesting, though the monthly line rental (even though most of it is
reimbursed) would probably put here off, plus she really needs to replace
her aging 8310. She'd also want free SMS. She's the worst type of customer,
wants everything, but actually earns the phone network next to nothing!
