However, the reality is that switching can be a commitment (even without contracts) and it's no fun to make the move only to realize you've made a mistake. Let's look at some tips and tricks to test carrier coverage with iPhone before committing to switching. https://9to5mac.com/2021/06/30/test-carrier-coverage-on-iphone-before-switching/

Senion AB was founded in 2010 and today it is a global leader in indoor positioning technology. https://www.globallegalchronicle.com/verizon-in-connection-with-the-acquisition-of-senion/ ***** Moderator's Note ***** Knowing where an "asset" is located to within "sub-meter" accuracy is the wet dream of the mamma's girls and daddy's boys of the "baby bells:" since so many of the practice what I call "Warm body management," they'll have an orgasm at the thought of being able to measure who each of "their" workers was talking to, and being able to shame and belittle anyone who doesn't march in lockstep with their Uber-Führer's idea of how to motivate and manage. Mark my words: this will be used to create Big-Brother's surveilance state. Horne reporting Crimefix: proceeding Mini-Luv-wise. Bill Horne Moderator Copyright (C) 2021 E. WIlliam Horne.
