The warning came in a letter sent by the FCC to Eastside Free Methodist Church of Salem after agents purportedly discovered an illegal FM broadcast station operating from the church’s property in nearby Portland. https://thedesk.net/2023/04/fcc-portland-pirate-radio-free-methodist-church-salem/

Try Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T For Free By "Kellen" Taking a quick trip through wireless carrier forums and help groups and reddit threads almost always turns up several posts related to carrier quality or speeds. It is not hard to find people complaining about T-Mobile or Verizon or AT&T networks. I get it, that’s what forums are for, but the thing is, we live in a time where you can pretty easily test another provider for free and decide if it’s time to make a switch. Both Verizon and T-Mobile offer free trials of their network, plus AT&T’s Cricket Wireless will let you do the same if you want to take their network for a spin. https://www.droid-life.com/2023/04/07/dont-like-your-wireless-carrier-try-another-for-free/
