Re: Paying for incoming messages? said by Xela19115:And until such business practices and pricing structures are tolerated by customeers the wireless services in the US will be far behind those of Far East and Europe. I wouldn't say our mobile technology is that far behind anymore. It just took longer for us to catch up because landline service in the USA was always cheaper and easier to get than landline service abroad. It was only very recently in the USA that using a cell phone exclusively became more economically justifiable.
We use the same GSM-based service available abroad. 3G is also being deployed in many parts of the USA as we speak. At least on the GSM side of things we can use just about any quad-band phone that we want with no problem at all.
Of course, GSM-based services in the USA still have a ways to go to catch up the CDMA-based high speed Internet services.
