I have a weird experience to report-please reply by private email if you can shed any light on this one. I live in Rockland county NY and commute via NY State Thruway. On Wed 2/14 there was a little snowstorm and I called from my car to tell work I would be late. About 5 min later my cell phone died. I would try to access and got a fast metallic busy when I tried to activate my code etc. Could not get 611 or 911 either! Then the radio died. All of a sudden there was just static. So I thought OK, I'll listen to a tape. No luck. Tape went in and played static thru speakers. This was very strange. So I got to work, went inside for a few hours, came out to my car and my radio and phone were back. OK, so it was a fluke. On my way home the phone did not work again, same problem. There is a blasting zone on the thruway but they were not doing it as I drove thru. SO the next day I called ATT Wireless and they told me someone had cloned my phone so I needed a new PIN. I gave them a new PIN and still my phone did not work this morning. I called them again and he told me to go get my phone to test it--then it worked fine. Later on it didn't work again. Then tonight my radio died again. I am thinking maybe there is some kind of weird force field in my car. I don;t think there is anything wrong with either the flipphone or the radio, but my phone worked great till 2 days ago. It is not a dead spot on the thruway as it was dead for 10 miles or more-lasted till I got to work. Anyone have any ideas??? thanks--pls reply to susanste@cloud9.net
