This week I am in Washington DC at a Jenzabar conference with a customer learning about IT strategies and IT solutions for higher education. One of the partially completed tasks that I had not completed before I left was a switch of Star Base, Inc’s wireless service. We had been with the company whose tag line is the title of this post for 15 years. Yet I have another year to go on my contract. (Go Figure.)
We are in process of switching to the local wireless company and so I have both phones. I didn’t want to cutover on Friday before the holiday weekend and also be out of town on top of that. For now I can call out and use almost all the features of my new phone and service. Inbound calls still use the old phone and its fully functional as well. That puts me in a unique position to test the coverage of both services side by side.
So far I am pretty happy with my choice. One big concern was how would the coverage be outside my home area. I was a passenger for a good part of the trip because I was riding along with the customer. That gave me time to see how the services stacked up in different parts of the route. Even though the national company touts its network. The local company’s signal strength was equal to or greater than the national one each time I checked.
In my next post I will detail the services and features that I have used.
