From there, you can make a decision whether to proceed or not.

A recommendation to make sure you don't buy into mobile carrier's advertisements about coverage areas. Rather than challenge the various carriers ads in the article, I'm wrote suggesting you test your hardware before making a purchase. One of the largest national carriers (if not the the largest) and one which some of the smaller carriers piggyback their service on, has a number of dead spots in Winnebago County, despite coverage maps that indicate pretty solid service. Again, rather than pick on the carriers and what I consider misleading advertising, I spoke to what you can do as a consumer. Thank you very much for reading the Rock River Times!
