Hello fellow BS’s,

Just a quick question about cell phone service in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. My BF is on business there and is coming home tomorrow. I have not been able to get a hold of him via cell phone mostly during the day. (We have Verizon).

He does pick up when he is around or in his home, usually in the late afternoon/early evening. He claims that when I finally get a hold of him that his phone never rang nor does it show a missed call (I need to get in touch with him b/c I manage his commercial properties). This seems relatively familiar when my XH would go on business and I could never get a hold of him b/c he was with OW. I do not want to overreact nor do I want to be another fool.

I have heard from people in my area (Boston, Ma) that Verizon is going downhill and the service has been terrible the last couple of years…But I don’t want to be a liar to myself like I was with XH.

Is it possible that the cell phone service is lousy in the North Myrtle Beach area??? Or is he lying? I checked his email, voicemail and online bank statements and found nothing so far. Please respond quickly!!! Thanks and God Bless

Always, Christy

By the way I can’t stand this new website thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I travel the east coast a lot.

I have Verizon. I don't have a cheap throw-away phone. In the last 10 years I haven't had a phone call dropped.

I have never had a problem there. I usually stay on the south end.

Face it, he just isn't answering.

We only miss what could have been. I know I don't miss what it really was.

I used to have Verizon and I hated it. I, too, had issues with dropped calls and not receiving calls--funny thing is, the phone would go directly to VM, even though it was sitting in front of me where I could have heard it ring.

I switched to t-mobile and I love it. You might want to switch carriers.

I agree with your assessment of this website... they can't seem to work out the problem--which is to rehire the company that was maintaining their website because they knew what they were doing.
