Volner (Venable LLP) Late last week, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed the state's Telephone Solicitation Act of 2022 (OTSA) into law. A couple of months ago, as the legislation was working its way through the Oklahoma state legislature, we noted that, like its Florida counterpart - the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act (FTSA) - the law would prohibit "a telephonic sales call to be made if such call involves an automated system for the selection or dialing of telephone numbers . . . without the prior express written consent of the called party." https://tinyurl.com/474vk4xu -- Bill Horne (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)

I've noticed that they are spotty in some areas. Perhaps they are finally turning down CDMA which filled in the gaps. I've noticed that T-Mobile is only improving. An aunt visiting had Sprint at the time, and had service at my Mother's house where Mom didn't. I notice that with T-Mobile, since the merger, I too have service here (Mom still doesn't on Verizon).
