Ärende: Cellphone woes
======================
Replying to a message of David Drummond to Bob Ackley:

I've never bothered to check with Tracfone but I think incoming calls are not
charged; I use the thing so little that it's not an issue, I always accumulate
minutes
as I run out of months long before I run out of minutes.  When I had a cell
phone
provider's phone at first incoming calls were billed but after a while they
stopped
billing for them (and advertised the free incoming calls as some sort of
'benefit' of
their service).

Tracfone does offer prepaid cards that have more than 60 minutes/60 days, I saw
one that was good for a year - but it costs US$99, about $20/year less than
what
I pay for the 60minute/60day cards.

 DD> There is no cell phone roaming charge within the whole country of

 DD> Distance charges still apply to land line calls.

 BA>> My landlines (I have two, one for people, one for computers)

 DD> Oh? I have just the one land line - and both voice and computer
 DD> (ADSL2+) can use it at the same time.

ADSL isn't available here, neither is DSL or ISDN - although Qwest (the
landline company in this area) advertises all three services.  I have DSL
and ISDN capable gear here now, I just can't use them.
