Verizon had a mall store, here. Right over the middle of the sales floor, they had a "cheater repeater" that even the cheap phones always had full scale signals inside the store. The mall, itself, had poor coverage as the nearest tower was about 2.2 miles away. It has a tower almost in the parking lot since the Alltel aquisition, now. I used to carry my bagphone to the food court just outside the Verizon store and "make a call". The powerful 3 watt AMPS monster swamped the hell out of the store's cheater repeater....(c;] Great fun on a Saturday afternoon.... -- iPhone 4 is to cellular technology what the Titanic is to cruise ships.
