Back in the 90's it meant I had 2 phones with the same phone number & the network couldn't tell them apart. The teeny mobile had an antenna power of idk 0.1W & the car had 5W. In those days antennae could be 25 miles apart, that meant I could get signal 'in the middle of nowhere'… which in those days was pretty much anywhere out of town. Things were a lot different back then ;) | |
