Well I must be one of the longest ever hold-outs as it's 2009 and I do not have a mobile phone. If someone needs to contact me they can phone me at home or email me (I check my emails several times a day) or if it's life and death they can call my work. I'm never far from a public phone.
I have no idea how to snd a txt msg 2u and feel sorry for the poor kids on the train who just stare at the little screen for an hour, occasionally going peck peck peck.
But the time has come. I may be going overseas for a month shortly and have decided to get a phone on a plan and get International Roaming.
Could someone explain what a capped plan means? For example "Nokia np3983847828xyz model free with 24 month $29 cap". I take it that you get the phone upfront and the cost of the handset is factored in over the 24 month period. But what does 'cap' mean? In the above example does that mean you spend $29 a month with a certain number of calls allowed, or is the $29 the least you spend. In the latter case how come it is called a CAP... I would have thought a cap was a cap FFS.
Any suggestions about a good model / carrier / plan for occasional use and usage on the train with Web Browsing capabilities. How long do phones run on a charge? I actually did have a Motorola Brick in the early 90s but binned it when analogue ended and I'd be lucky to get four hours standby and one hour talk on the bloody dinosaur.
Does anyone know anything about charges for International Roaming?
When will my airlock stop bubbling and why have my carb drops gone sticky?
Any advice appreciated.
