Skype petitions FCC for open cellular access

In a document dated February 20, Skype asked the FCC to apply to the wireless industry what is known as the "Carterfone" rules, which would allow consumers to use devices and software of their choice on cell phone networks.

The "Carterfone" rules, which were enacted in 1968 during the old AT&T's monopoly of the phone industry, allow consumers to hook any device up to the phone network, so long as it did not harm the network. Prior to these rules, AT&T provided all telephones and devices connected to the telephone network, and it routinely sued companies that sold unauthorized products that could attach to the network.

PDA'S & Smartphones

I'm looking at possibly getting new service with Verizon and thinking about the Samsung i730. When I pick the phone on Verizon's website it takes me to pick a plan but the only ones that come up are phone & data bundled packages. I'm looking for a family plan and don't necessarily want/need a data plan, I just really want the qwerty keyboard for text messages and the ability to sync up with outlook.

Poll

As the rollout of Mobile TV begins I’d be interested in Peoples thoughts. Do you plan to subscibe?

Do you believe: “$15.00 a month is a bargain for such a revolutionary breakthrough”
Or
“$15.00 a month is a rip-off for TV on a two inch screen”

I have mixed feelings. It truly is amazing that you can get high quality real-time television any time anywhere on a mobile handset. On the other hand, after the novelty wears off, how much TV will you watch on such a tiny screen?

Where's The Info?

Multiple posters on here said Verizon would start offering text packages up to 5000 to non-Verizon phones starting today. I was looking for info on their website and found nothing. All I found was the following:

In addition to Unlimited IN Messaging, you can choose a bundle that gives you the right amount of messages to those outside the network. IN Messaging Bundles start at $10 monthly access plus 500 additional messages.

But it doesn't break down what bundles I can choose from other than the $10 one. Anyone?

Broadband card data usage cap

What is the approximate amount of data (mb or gigs) that is allowed per month on the unlimited plan?

I am not looking for a discussion of limited unlimited data. i just want an accurate answer of what I could use before Verizon will be contacting me about my usage.

New Every Two

Just wanted to ask a quick questiong regarding new every two. Didn't feel like going through customer service. I did a quick search on here but didn't find it offhand. Anyway...

I am up for new every two in march. I had service for one year and then switched to a family plan thus extending my contract another year or whatever.

What I want to know is...
If I use my ne2 will my second lines contract extend along with the primary?

Thanks in advance.

Ok- PDA activation

I am buying my Treo 650 tonight. When it arrives, how do I activate it. Call CS from my landline phone? Is there a fee for this? Do I do the *228... ?

Yesterday I went to Best Buy and bought a Jabra BT125 Bluetooth headset and a BodyGove case. I am so pumped 😈

Congratulations to Verizon

A while back I posted a thread to complain about VZW charging the most and giving the least. Since then, Verizon has launched unlimited text & pics to their customers.

I received much criticism for my post, but as I pointed out, their people READ PS forums, to see what everyone thinks and is saying about their products. While I can't take credit for my posts being the reason for the change, I'm glad to see it happen.

I believe that fair criticism is healthy, as well as fair debate on issues. I think one reason that the four major carriers do offer better products than say, satellite t.v. is in no small part because of THIS forum.

I use Nextel because of my work and communication needs, but enjoy seeing what other carriers are doing...

Another Lowest Drop Call Research

Research: Sprint Nextel has the fewest dropped calls

By Kelly Hill

Story posted: February 21, 2007 - 12:58 pm EDT

Corporate wireless management company mindWireless has stepped into the fierce debate over which carrier truly has the fewest dropped calls, offering up its own data that shows Sprint Nextel Corp.’s CDMA network usually is the most reliable.

MindWireless said it used a sample of more than 80 million calls placed and received between Jan. 1 and June 30, 2006, as the basis for its conclusions. The company defined a dropped or “duplicate” call as “a call from a cellular device to another wireless device or landline placed within two minutes of a prior call to the same destination, with no call between.” The...
