Tried looking for schematics but no luck. Anyone can help?

This was because the company was routing its service through a Portland-based company called Wireless Partners, and it was losing money on customers who were using a lot of data. Verizon gave its customers until Oct. 17 to switch to a different carrier, at which point their service would be cut off. https://www.ellsworthamerican.com/maine-news/verizon-extends-deadline-downeast-residents-change-plans/ -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Fri, 13 Oct 2017
