In my old apartment I used an analog Cingular phone (Nokia 918) and had
no trouble. Switched to digital (Nokia 5120) and my calls went to crap.
But my work phone, a StarTac on Verizon, was crystal clear and also
digital.
Lesson: If you're in the market for a cell phone/service, ask your
friends with various services to come with you to the places you'll be
needign the phone and see what you get.
