Ever wonder how Isis the terror group, pays there cellphone bill. How on earth can they get reception in the middle of the desert, and I living in the US, get a no service. What if they dont pay their bill. Willa sprint rep visit them in BF Egypt? Just a thought.

    Thats because they have very different laws concerning RF transmissions.

    I used to work in the counter IED field, and cell phones are very popular for IEDS. They have portable home phones that literally have transmission distances of 9 miles. YES 9 MILES. you could be across town talking on your home land line.

    They dont have an FCC.... so they dont care if one transmitted signal interferes with another, and thus they can get signal way out in BFE. Thats why you see all those wierd cans and tubes attached to tactical vehicles most are cell signal or RF Jammers.

    When I was in Afghanistan, the Taliban turned off the cell towers at night so they could not be tracked. They own that stuff.
