Yes, that did help. Thank you. I went with a Verizon prepaid cell phone. I was able to connect with my fishing buddy up at Patoka Lake in his cabin at Wildridge today with my new cell phone. I called him from Evansville, IN and the connection as good.

He is using Cingular though? :( LOL. But most of the people that I know near me are with Verizon so I can call them for free each and every day at any time of the day. I can call my buddy after 9:01PM for free so that works.

My land mine phone has AT&T long distance and for some reason I can't call my buddy's cell phone from my land mine phone at home. But I can call his camp number. Both my land mine and his camp have the same area code. His cell phone area code is different.

I need to call AT&T long distance service Monday and figure out why I am not allowed to call a 502 area cell phone number with my home phone. The phone system sure is getting more and more complicated these days.

I have to jump though a lot of hooks trying to connect with a fishing buddy just to figure out where the fish are located. LOL

My buddy fishes Patoka a lot more than I do so he knows the lake better. I trust his lake knowledge more than mine at Patoka.

I envy the guys that live up by the lake that can fish it more often that most of us.
