Can a soldier use his cell phone in Afghanistan?
This is usually an "on/off" issue, i.e., either you have internet access or not.If you're off-grid in the field, you have no access to the outside world, whether internet or cell phone.If you're at a base, you usually have full Facebook, email, etc. access and are able to buy a cell phone from a local vendor.Most questions like this are asked to make someone feel better about wiring money to a "US Servicemember" who asked for money.I've been in the military for over 23 years. I've never heard of another real servicemember who has asked random people on the internet for money, and certainly not for any legitimate reason.Here's how you know that someone posing as a servicemember is scamming you:You've never physically met him or her, and,They ask for money or gift cardsHere are my tips regarding anyone you've never physically met:If you're speaking to someone in another country or other place far away by email or phone and have never physically met them, you aren't their fiance. I recommend you don't even call yourself their girlfriend/boyfriend.Remember that anyone with access to email and who needs money can use that same email to contact real family and friends they actually know and have met in person.Regarding servicemembers:Unless you're personally traveling to meet a servicemember, you won't need to pay for anything the servicemember needs or does. And I do mean anything. They can be thrown in jail by the military and you still won't need to pay anything.The military branches have relief funds to help young, poor military members who need baby supplies, travel for emergencies, provide phone cards, fix their cars, etc. If they have a close family member die when on deployment, even malingerers get personal help from the command to take care of what they need.Given the prevalence of military email scams, it's a 99.99% chance that anyone emailing you claiming to be a servicemember and asking for money isn't in the military at all.

Is calling a different area code considered long distance?
Not sure, but it looks like you got the middle finger of the L.P. :-) Area code 231 is administered out of Grand Rapids and there is no free calling to the U.P. as far as I can tell. It's 60 air miles from Cheboygan to the Soo, so you need to find a different cell phone carrier if Virgin can't give you a 906 number as I don't show much free calling anywhere else. Verizon Wireless and Cingular (AT&T?) are the only listed cell providers for Soo proper.
What are the best cell phone plans for international students studying in the US?
There isn't a straightforward question to answer. Cell service differs based on requirements, location and network features. There are four major wireless providers in the United States, each providing excellent service in certain markets, bad service in certain markets, and owning dead spots (no service zones) in certain markets. It is impossible to find a provider who will give you service at all times, the best thing to do is consider where you'll be the most such as college, work and home - find out where those locations will be, and find out if the provider has good service in that area.I would recommend T-Mobile outright. As all their plans come without being contracted, service plans therefore if you'll only be in the States for six months or a year, then you know you're not tied down and won't be paying for something when you're back home. T-Mobile would be very good for you if you're based in a city as their network is super fast and typically a five bar experience with cities, this is where they heavily invest in their network. If you will be in studying in a city, but you'll staying at a location in a rural area, then you'll either get no service or Edge connection with T-Mobile. If your rural location doesn't have wifi, forgot Facebooking the guys back home!I would tell you to stay away from Sprint and Verizon. Sprint's coverage is terrible, to say the least plus their LTE isn't fast at all. Verizon's LTE is very fast, but their extremely expensive. Can you afford them on a college student's budget?AT&T is good in cities and in rural areas. They use the 850 Mhz frequency for 3G voice calls, and 700 Mhz for LTE (1900/1700 is also used for LTE). The 850 and 700 can travel great distances and penetrate walls + buildings good. So if you are in a building with thick walls, AT&T will give you good service.My friend in Philly lives in a modern home. In his house when I was on a phone call with my T-Mobile iPhone 6 would only get between 1 - 2 bars, they use the 1900/2100 Mhz for 3G. Whereas, when he was on the phone he would get four bars. I would say use a website like this to find a plan that's affordable to your college student's lifestyle budget.I would use a site like Mobile Phones - Compare Tariffs, Deals & Networks - WhistleOut, they can compare cell phone plans in the U.K and in the U.S.A
Does anyone know of a landline carrier in Los Angeles besides Att?
Typically only one provider will service an area with traditional copper telephone landlines (i.e. if AT&T services you area, other copper land-line providers like Verizon will not). Cable companies do offer land-line equivalent telephone service in parallel to local telephone companies however, meaning you could obtain phone service from your local cable company. The main difference is that cable phone services uses a digital transmission between your home and the central office that is carried over the shared cable infrastructure (the same cable used for TV & Internet) whereas traditional landlines use a dedicated analog connection (over copper) from your home to the central office. For cable service, a digital modem is installed in your home that connects to your telephone/jacks. This modem typically has a 5+ hour back-up battery whereas a traditional landline can last much longer without power (power is provided by telephone company over the copper wiring). Cable companies can port your existing phone numbers over without issue. The other option you have is to use VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). This type of phone service is provided to you over the Internet. Like cable phone service, it is a digital connection, but VoIP is much less reliable than cable phone service. Traditionally in a VoIP system, you will lose phone service during a power outage and the audio quality of a phone call can vary depending on the quality of your Internet connection and other variables. Vonage is an example of a popular VoIP service. The advantage of VoIP is that it is significantly cheaper than landline/cable providers. Like cable services, VoIP services can also port phone numbers over from your existing provider. However porting numbers to VoIP can take longer, and it's only possible if the VoIP service has an affiliation with your local central office which is not always the case (especially in rural areas).
How can I set up a Digital phone number in a county that I don't live in so I can have calls forwarded from the digital number to my number?
My cousin is doing life in jail in Cumberland Maryland. I live in Baltimore city Maryland. I want to set up a phone number in Cumberland and place call forwarding on it so he can call the phone number in the same area code as the jail which will then Forward the call to my or another phone number in the area code of Baltimore city. Neither one of us know anyone in Cumberland so I cant set it up at a apartment or house up there. So my question is this. How can I set this up without having a address in Cumberland or driving all the way up there to buy a cell phone? I keep hearing there's a way to do it with something called a digital number. I looked up digital phone number but cant find anything close to what was described to me. So if anyone has any idea please help me out. The reason im trying to set it up this way is because it costs between 10-20$ for a direct call from the jail to me But It only costs .50 for calls from the jail to a phone number in the same area code as the jail.
