The Cell Phone Handbook - A MUST READ!
A MUST read for anyone who wants to know a little or a lot about cellular service! The Cell Phone Handbook can give you all the information, (and then some,) that you need to become a knowledgeable member of the wireless phenom. It is well written and succinct. If you happen to be in the cellular industry then it is a great reference guide as it is also more than the basics. Regardless of your reason for reading, from basic to advanced, you will get your money's worth. The GLOSSARY alone makes this book a bargain!

Comprehensive, No-nonsense, and VERY readable. Recommended.
Comprehensive, insightful, and fun to read This book is a very well written and in-depth treatment of cellular telephony technology. Not only does it provide extensive coverage of the basics of cell phone technology, it also covers more advanced topics such as roaming and zoning. If you've been unfortunate enough to fall into the trap of a cell phone service provider with a '$20/month' plan and soon realized that you're trapping footing $60/month bills for your service, you'll soon realize why this book is is also very practical. I love the way the author discusses (p.75) the process of making service choices using an interactive worksheet. Having taught classes on telecommunications in a business school at the university level, and having gone through the proces of making a book choice for my entire classes, I truly believe that this book is the best I've seen on the topic. A comprehensive index, a fun to read FAQ chapter (that answers questions that are sometimes even embarrasing to ask), and a clear writing stuyle make this a cool addition to my book shelf. For sure, this book is worth every dollar.

Excellent guide for newcomers
When I started a new job as a salesman for a software company offering solutions for the wireless communications market I bought this book. The result: in a few days I caught up with my colleagues and was able to very properly conduct myself in sales calls. I am buying a third volume, because the first 2 I gave to my customers. The last one, to a friend of mine who became IT Manager of a large communications company. He keeps it permanently on his credenza and it is his most frequently checked reference. If I could give Ms. Stetz more than five stars, I would.
