And that is why Google Voice is not a replacement for cell phone service. Take that Arrington!

  Actually, GV is working fine.

    I think the OP meant outages in general

      Exactly. With feigned 'outrage' at Arrington for all his Google Voice love as of late.

        Are you suggesting that cell towers never fail?
        • sfphotoarts 17y ago
          they do fail, often, in fact, but the difference is that its a decentralized system and several towers being down isn't a big deal, its just a normal day. They contract with many carriers to carry data and often a single cell site is multihosted so any one carrier switches to another provider, who now has them over a barrel so charges them more. Cell tower failures affect the mobile carriers profits, and not necessarily the users service.
