Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Gud, I use Net10, which works fine, and my husband just got a Virgin Android that's no contract -- it has the 3G and Wifi and all that.
They've been fine for us, and you really can control what you spend. My phone doesn't do the web really at all (which I would like to change eventually), but for texting and calling, it's cheap. I can get 300 minutes for $30 and make it last two months or more.
If you don't mind a little initial disruption, I can't recommend Google Voice enough to minimise texting and calling costs. I haven't streamlined it *perfectly* for my purposes, but that's because I want my phone to read my texts out and shit. But I've dropped huge amounts off my monthly bills as a result, both landline and mobile.
I use tracphone I also have paid skype at 35 per year, because I got a groupon that let me do the setup to use skype over a landline rather than only on a computer included in the 35. After that expires it does look like google voice is better.
Has anyone used tracfone for their cell service?
I've got Tracfone, and it works fine for me. I've never come close to using all the minutes, and I got a plan that is Double Minutes for Life. The phone cost me 20 bucks and it does everything I need it to.
wrong thread.
I've got a tracfone too. Works fine, but thinking about Virgin Mobile because of better phones/internet access. I also use skype as my landline. Will have to check out google voice.
I've been really happy with Virgin Mobile so far. It still amazes me that my monthly bill with unlimited data and texting is $15 cheaper than just my phone bill with T-Mobile.
Virgin is good if you are doing more than the minimum.But if you are just doing the 20 bucks worth of minutes every three months thing Trackfone is a better deal. Plus Tracfone offers better service if something goes wrong.
Okay, am I a complete idiot because I can't figure out how to use iCloud? I figured out how to sync contacts and calendars and whatnot. Does it not work like Dropbox?
Not really. You can use it with Pages and Numbers, etc., but it's pretty clunky for that purpose, as far as I can tell. I haven't really delved into it, though.
