He calls me from NC and I live in Pennsylvania. Whenever he calls me and talks loud I hear a loud static noise. I don&#039;t recall ever hearing anything like this on any other phone call I have ever received. Does anyone have a possible explanation for this? Is it the phone, the distance, the devices, or what. Maybe he is just talking too loudly. I have asked him to...<br />

I don&#039;t understand the GB thing or what it means. Is it OK to start with a 1 GB or go to a 10, 15 or more? I have had cell phones in the past but never considered the GB. Thanks for any suggestions, tips, or explanations.]]></content:encoded>
