I cut my landline a few months ago in favor of a shiny new iPhone. I still love my phone (nothing passes the time on a three-hour flight better than being able to watch a bunch of Firefly episodes), but I’m becoming familiar with the annoyances that come from having only a cell phone. One is rather trivial: remembering to silence the ringer before going into a meeting. I’ve been in at least one big staff meeting where I’ve forgotten to do that and everyone was treated to my undeniably dorky sci-fi ringtone.<\/p>\n

The other annoyance is more serious. In the last week or so, people have tried calling me only to be kicked into voicemail. This is particularly irksome because I live in a secure building that requires people to call me to get buzzed in. I updated the phone’s operating system and things seem to be functioning normally now, but our cellular infrastructure still has a long way to go before it can match the reliability of good old copper wiring. <\/p>\n
