I called 611 and was told that means the G system is at capacity ...* Yahoo! Maurice has a fix for that called "current pricing is ..." Time to gouge those prime time minute hogs! Present company excepted, of course. No one pays much attention, but I try to be discreet. That'll be enough of that. Whip that antennae out like you mean it. After the tourists get back up off the deck you can explain to them just what the hell it was you were pointing at them. Might sell a few on gag value alone. :>) Thanks for the updates. Pierre

Re : "fast busy signal. I ... was told that means the G* system is at capacity and it will only last a few minutes, which it did." Maybe we now know why GSTRF bottomed this morning at a bit below 3/4 of a dollar, and bounced up (percentage wise) huge. I suspect you are not the only person on planet Earth who has heard about this stuff ... Jon.

<I called 611 and was told that means the G system is at capacity and it will only last a few minutes, which it did. No straight answers as to how the system is running at capacity.> Running at capacity? Fast-busy signals? What the heck is going on? I can feel a Cat's Eyes marketing rant coming on. Mqurice * Cat's Eyes marketing = CURRENT PRICE IS ... price plan Edit: I see Pierre has already predicted the rant. Pierre, we do NOT want any of this squeamish nonsense <Present company excepted, of course.> We shall stick it to anyone who dares turn their phone on during fast-busy signals, including present company. If somebody wants to use a Globalstar phone on a cruise ship in the Caribbean, when the service is busy, we will charge them big bucks!
