Ok, I'll try convincing myself that it's not my problem the next time I'm in the mall and I have no bars. I'll just pretend like I have my network behind me, so I can...turn around and tell them it's their problem, not mine

At that price they are likely made in China.
I'll keep looking, I may have to go back to Okinawa.

Yes, the one that is made in a factory is $17.99 and from China but I'm not certain where the $89.99 handmade Hattori Hanzo is made. I think you'll be hard pressed to find a more "authentic" one than from this place. The craftsmanship on their products is really excellent and I'm not even talking about the handmade stuff. Mind you, this is the type of company that others buy from and resell.

But, hey, if you regularly go to Okinawa, then I don't think anything you buy online could be more authentic than that!

Touche. Although it is indeed problematic for us as customers, I don't view any situation as being 'my problem' unless I have some expectation that I can remedy it. Since we can't fix it except to change carriers, the fix is indeed their problem.

I think this is just semantics.

When I lose a call I too feel like I have a problem. But I try hard not to embrace problems that rightfully belong to others to resolve. If it gets bad enough then I'll have to resolve it by changing carriers.
