Re: Can we get off it please? said by twill1989:Essentially, what everyone is wanting is to use the AT&T network without having to pay AT&T. Uh, if they subscribe to AT&T Wireless to get data service, they are already paying for the service. AT&T is already getting a cut of the pie.
And if you are connected to a hotspot instead of a 3G tower, then you aren't using AT&T's network to begin with so they shouldn't have a say in what you are using.
Sorry but saying AT&T should let Vonage and other VOIP providers use their network is like saying UPS should ship Fed-Ex packages on their trucks UPS will happily ship a fed-ex package on their trucks as long as you have UPS label on them and have paid for the shipping via UPS. Similarly, people already are paying AT&T to use the data portion of their phones. AT&T is in essence saying that it doesn't like the looks of the package and refuses to ship it, even though a similar package (data packet) for a non-VoIP call is permitted.
and make sure they get there faster than UPS packages. I'm not sure where the "faster" argument comes into play. Give a choice between a true cellular call and a VoIP, I bet the cellular gets there quicker and potentially has better quality.
Not nonissues like this. It's only a non-issue to you. Obviously it's not a non-issue to everyone. |
