Pennsylvania is a pretty big place but there is certainly 3G coverage in the Philadelphia metro area and 4G coverage in select locations as well. 4G doesn't matter for the current and previous generations of iPhones anyway. Some rumors say that the next generation of iPhone won't have 4G either.

This is an actual story not an urban myth... Dog's death leads to a push for quicker tracing of cellphones 5:00 PM, September 4, 2008 After her SUV, phone and dog were stolen at a cemetery last month, Hemet resident Mary Michael tried to get Verizon to track the phone in the vehicle carrying her beloved pet, Rebel. Verizon said it couldn't do so without a warrant. Rebel was found dead, prompting Michael to take aim at that regulation, The Times' David Kelly reports: A distraught Michael said Rebel would be alive today if Verizon had traced the cellphone she had left inside the car. "They could have saved Rebel's life," she said Tuesday during a news conference outside Riverside County Superior Court. "It's my phone. It has GPS capability. We should be able to use it." Michael, who is originally from London and lives in Hemet, has started a campaign to make such tracking easier. Many wireless companies now require warrants before tracing phones, but Michael argues that obtaining a warrant takes too long when a life hangs in the balance. Verizon spokesman Ken Muche said state and federal privacy laws make it impossible to trace a phone without a court order. He said criminals and stalkers had impersonated customers in the past to try to find cellphone users. "We work with law enforcement and will respond to requests from the court like subpoenas and warrants," Muche said. "We have a policy in place so our customer service people are not in a position of having to determine a person's identity." Had Verizon traced the phone, it could have pinpointed the location as close as 50 to 100 yards, he said. That was cold comfort to Michael. "If this had been done, Rebel would not have had to suffer, and we would not be going through the pain of losing her in this terrible way," she said. "I can't bear to think of what she went through during those last hours. I can't go there, it's too horrible." -- Francisco Vara-Orta Photo: Irfan Khan/Los Angeles Times I have a couple of comments. One - who ever leaves a dog or an unattended child in a running car is ASKING for trouble especially in Southern California. Two - If she had wanted to leave the dog in the A/C cooled car she should have locked the doors and taken her remote control key or second key with her. Three - Although the dog and this woman were traumatized and victimed and it is horrible that it ended in the dogs death, THIS WAS COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE had the owner used common sense. I frequent Southern California and there is NO SAFE place you must be on guard everywhere.

Mine is also the one that sounds like an old time phone...I myself find ringtones VERY annoying...and that "please enjoy the music while your party is reached" which us usually following by the most anoying music makes my skin crawl.. part of my job is collections, so I hear this all day long... this is just my opinion, I know many people use the ringtones and the music...but to me even music which I may have enjoyed normally sounds like crap on a cell phone..Thanks for letting me vent...this really is a pet peeve of mine..

I don't know what carrier you have but I believe that my carrier (Verizon) charges me for ring tones on my phone bill. My daughter bought a couple of ring tones and it cost her sometime like $2 or $3 for a one time charge on the bill. I know because the bill comes in my name. It's not a monthlyu charge. Have you tried your carrier's website?
