Not a new shopper, but a new problem..
I recently moved to a very rural area and I get very poor reception in this area. As a result, most of my incoming calls go straight to voicemail. Schedulers call me and leave a voicemail (wanting me to take jobs), but unless I'm thinking about it on one of my trips to a larger area, they don't get called back. Does this reflect poorly on me as a shopper? Example being someone from Maritz has been calling me for a few days now, but I never think about calling back until I'm in this poor reception area.. even if I could get through, there's no guarantee we could hear each other lol (has definitely cut down on my phone shops!).
My phone works perfectly "in the field" since all of my shops are in the less rural areas, so there's no problem if I need to contact someone about a job while (or before/after) doing it.
