is anyone else experiencing an increase in DROPPED CALLS or TRASHY CALL QUALITY since the launch of Retrospec? long-distance in particular. or is there some other, better explanation for this change that I'm unaware of? after plenty of baseless excuses that turned out to be false, my carrier claims that there's noooothing wrong on their end. but what good are they? they also can't find an app on my phone that we know exists.

it's shocking that nobody else has said anything... unless it really is just me and every single phone I touch.

Maybe it's who you're calling.

Your carrier can't find the app?

[This really should be surprising news after everything else. But somehow it is.]

I've had some trouble using my phone to call relatives long distance. But my mom's seems to work fine for some reason. We have the same carrier. I thought maybe my phone was malfunctioning. It's kind of old.

Now that you've mentioned it, I also have the same problems when I tried to call one of my college friends from France.

[Well, he didn't have problems calling his parents since they are still living in Recolle, but he became worried as his older brother is in Florida working as a veterinarian.]

But now that you've mentioned about our carriers are unaware of Retrospec, I'm beginning to feel that there might be a connection to all of this.

my service can be shitty on my phone, but my internet at home's been cutting out when i skype and that's new. it's happened before, but that used to be once a month if that.

who're you trying to call long distance?
back when i was younger and didn't have a cell phone, i would write letters and send them to who i needed to talk to
the post is pretty efficient, with a guaranteed overnight delivery option for when it's urgent!
