I'm in a very rural area where service is in and out many times also switch about 3-4 towers where I travel (work,home,shop ect) if data is acitve and it looses signal it screws with my phone bad, slows it to a stop and sometimes it won't recover even soft resets. I've had to hard reset a few times from it and more than once was from using a push client. I now set my mail to manual send/receive along with everything else that relys on data, have to protect myself because of the signal
