Here's an interesting link I found...http://greggman.com/edit/editheadlines/2006-04-11.htm
As far as internet/phone technology goes I'm perfectly content with talking and texting on my phone, and internet on my laptop. But it seems to me these wireless companies are just making things more difficult than they have to be. If you want to speak on your phone you need a voice plan, if you want to text you need a texting plan, if there's a picture in your text that's a separate plan. Oh, and if you want mobile broadband you're paying $60 a month.
Couldn't they offer a nation wide mobile broadband type plan that allows you to access the internet and receive texts through the same network/account? And why not voice too (through some kind of VOIP setup)?
You would be allowed to use 2 devices perhaps. A cellphone and a laptop (or home PC). They could issue you two sim cards or something. Because as far as connecting to networks thats all people really need. A big computer to sit down at and do some real work, and a small computer in their pocket(ie: a phone)to talk and send quick messages(texts)on the go.
I'm not an incredibly tech savvy guy so i don't know if there's an incompatibility issue or if they just want to make more money.
Am I just dreaming?
