Cellular carriers promise thick, cozy blankets of coverage, but we know every one of them has infuriating dead spots. With its Personal Coverage Check (PCC), tmobile unabashedly unveils both their strong and weak spots, block by block, across the USA for all to see.

The Personal Coverage Check is easy to use – just punch in an address, and you'll see a map with gradations of coverage from forest green (perfect) to ghostly white (none at all.) TMobile games updates the Web site weekly and ties it into their engineering systems for the most honest possible picture, the carrier says.

We tried the Personal Coverage Check with a dozen locations we know around the US, and it usually worked flawlessly. It only failed with one location: downtown Manhattan, where the Personal Coverage Check says tmobile has no weak spots. TMobile told us their system has trouble because Manhattan is a unique environment, and that's true: building penetration issues, signal crowding and multipath reflections make the nation's densest neighborhoods a painful test for any wireless system.

We asked the other major carriers why they don't give consumers similar information. (Most carriers' maps just paint a wide swathe of coverage over an area, not going down to the block-by-block level games or differentiating strong signals from weak ones.) Sprint and Verizon dodged the question; Cingular said they're planning to improve their own coverage maps soon.

We are truly impressed with tmobile and their PCC's honesty so much, we would name it a major reason to switch from less-revealing carriers to TMobile as long as tmobile works where you need it. Thanks to this Web site, you can now easily find that out.

Kids & Cell Phones
Is it safety? Is it security? Or is it just cool?

Have you ever noticed how many kiosks have popped up in you favorite mall? And just about all of them are selling cell phones. Teens can actually design their own graphics and have the graphic airbrushed on the face of the phone itself. They face plates and antennas that light up on each ring. Just drop by a kiosk next time your at the mall, you'll see what I mean.

In a resent Los Angeles Times article, they stated that teens with cell phones were at around 16% on average. I think by 2005, it will more of an average of 50% or even more.

Cell phones seem to be a great security feature for the parents. They can now be 'connected' to their children 24 hours a day, 7 days week, and 365 days a year. And of course, it allows the child to dial 911 if an emergency arises. And now with the GPS Location Sensitivity feature, your child will be located during that emergency with ten feet of the phones location.

Things to keep in mind when buying a cell phone for a child: With most all of the newer phones, you can send and receive SMS (Small Message Service), which means the phone is also capable of sending and receiving email from the web. Some of the tmobile games allow Internet access just like your home computer. Some phones will display graphics; this means "all" types of graphics. Some phones will take low-resolution pictures. These tmobile games can be sent to anyone that can receive a picture via SMS or the Internet. What if a picture was taken in the Physical Education dressing child room at school and sent across campus and off through the Internet. Do you get picture?
