Ah yes.... Cell phone envy, or as we would say out here in Euroland... Movil envy....

As the article states,
http://tech.msn.com/products/articlecnet.aspx?cp-documentid=4865914 you only have to be passing though for a short time and immediately see the difference. Hummm, and the USA is the land of competition? Darn those progressive European socialists! ;-)

I remember in the US calls always dropping... no reception in the subway... everyone paying for a call!!!! Here, if someone calls you, you don't pay for it. If someone text/sms you, you do not pay. If you receive a mms you do not pay.

I remember when I was first here in Spain.... Friday and Saturday nights the lines of the public payphones where humongous! Now, it seems the pay phones here might go the way of the US, as they seem to get little use these days.
