Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> Most smart phone setups are monthly... but there still are lots
 NB> of  NB>> other options available, especially for the more utilitarian
 NB>  NB>> varieties...  :)

 RH> Not surprising. The once a month fits the cash flow of a lot of us
 RH> tho. We don't have the cash flow to pay a full year at once.

 NB> I suppose you wouldn't, especially at the higher rates that the smart
 NB> phone with data setups tend to have...  My yearly bill is probably not
 NB> (much) more than double your monthly bill... it works out to be less
 NB> than $10/mo including tax...

We definatly pay more, but we pay for 2 phones with a good amount of
data useage. I'm getting used to tthe smart features--on Sunday when I
was talking with my friend about going to the Korean place on Monday,
she asked if it was open for lunch. I pulled out my phone and pulled up
the web site for the restaurant, found the hours of operation and was
able to tell her that it opened at 11.

 NB>  NB>> things...  Hopefully he has a good plan that isn't too costly...
 NB> but  NB>> it isn't my bill, so I haven't a clue what he spends on
 NB> it...  :)

 RH> Has he used it to find a good place to take you out to eat? (G)

 NB> Not yet... those are usually known places... :)   But he did use it to
 NB> find an AutoZone on our way up to the Pond, as he wanted to stop on
 NB> the way to get some stuff he figured he'd need to get his vehicles
 NB> going
 NB> once we got there...  Some years back, he tried using it to find a
 NB> bank branch... which turned out to be long gone, although the GPS
 NB> thought it existed...  ;)

We've had a few instances like that. Our original GPS wasn't aware that
our housing area existed for a couple of years (a newish one) until the
maps were updated. It showed an empty field when, in fact, there was
military housing.

 RH> Steve used his phone GPS to get us to the place we went to for my
 RH> birthday, tho we probably could have found it without the GPS. It's
 RH> one area of Raleigh we don't go to a lot but enough that we're
 RH> somewhat familiar with it. The GPS routed us a different way than
 RH> we generally take tho.

 NB> Sometimes the GPS has a mind of its own...  (G)   I suppose it might
 NB> be a more direct route than one's familiar one, but there can be other
 NB> factors at play...  :)

This way we didn't have to do a left turn across a busy road. We've
addled its poor little brain quite often however.
