Re: A Universal Cell Phone?

People, including myself, want what they paid for. They also would like some choices. On top of that they want to have mistakes corrected before next ice age. I can see that it might be very difficult concept for you...

Towers...THEY COST MONEY...Is this concept to difficult for you??? What you paid for is cellular service. Not a wireless backbone for skype. If you can't see that this would put the cell company's out of business then you need to go study some more.

You mean like Verizon, AT&T(Cingular), T-Mobile, Sprint-Nextel, Alltel, U.S. Cellular, Amp'd Mobile. Oh, you just have no choices at all{/sarcasm}

Data plans... THEY COST MONEY!!...Is this concept to (too) difficult for you???

Believe me, cellular companies don't give away data for free. I found that out the wrong way when Verizon screwed up and switched me to the "unlimited data plan" but forgot to take off the "pay per kilobyte" code on my account. The result? Downloading a meager 40 MB resulted in a $600+ bill. Fortunately for Verizon, they recognized their mistake and are in the process of correcting it. What I find ridiculous though is how fast they can take your money yet when THEY screw up it can "take up to a few weeks" to come off your bill? What a joke.

You honestly think $15 a month for unlimited data is going to cover their cost. You people just aren't getting it. It is not about "getting what you paid for." This is about the fact that this could very well put the wireless providers under. "if you are saying that the cell companies are only charging as much as it costs to maintain their current network, you are fooling yourself." If you think a company is going to continue to operate while just being able to pay the bills and break even then you are fooling yourself.

$15 plus how much for the underlying voice plan? They have no $15 stand-alone unlimited data plan.

I pay an additional $40/month for unlimited data on my PDA/Pocket PC from Verizon. It's the same price as their cheapest voice plan.
