Impressed that Telstra has and uses that monitoring.... I assume US carriers take a far more defeatest reaction to interference.

 

Sent from my Note II. Its so big.

Beer or cell phone? I think if I am enjoying a cold one I wouldn't mind my cell phone being down while I enjoyed it.

I was thinking the same thing, thousands of people could complain about an issues and all the carriers jusr give you some kind of generic excuse, im sure they dont look into it anything like this

I'm wondering on what the outcome was? Did they offer to buy him a new Beer Fridge or repair his existing one or are they trying to get him to turn it off? What's going on now?

Why choose?  Problem solved.  Just be sure to drink before its expiration date on June 30.
