OT: Am I the only one who doesn’t have a cell phone?

[briansd1]

Ren, on a non-smart phone, the data plan is $15/month unlimited with AT&T. $10/month if you have family text plan.

I’m thinking that you don’t have a smart phone because with a smart phone, an internet plan is mandatory.

Speaking of AT&T, I’ve heard terrible things about them for years, and I’ll be the first customer to jump ship if/when I start getting calls dropped, but that just never happens to me. I’ve never had a problem with them, and in fact have made calls in the middle of nowhere in Baja and even Death Valley. Connection and sound quality has a lot to do with your phone/antenna, not just your network. Research phones before you buy, and get one where the “phone” feature is well-reviewed and not just added as an afterthought to a very small computer. In other words, if it is to be used primarily as a phone, you don’t want an iPhone.

[quote=Ren]Anyway that’s good news, although I’d rather not be tied to one particular chain restaurant for my Internet needs :-)[/quote]

Ren, I don’t do fast food. And only drink regular coffee (I don’t care for all that fu-fu coffee).

You can often access the chain’s wifi service just by parking in their lot (and eating lunch from your own cooler) :=)

I don’t have a smart phone, but keep shopping for one, and they’re still not quite where I want them to be. I know Internet is cheap through the phone, but I briefly used it that way in the past, and the convenience of the modem is worth the extra money for me.
