Switching the tethered phone to fax mode and having winfax receive it before the other side hung up could be very frustrating. Now with myfax you get an email alert and can print from your phone.

You are correct about ink, found the settings and put them on black normal print only and have the extra inks also. Have data cables and wifi also but will carry it all just to CYA, tested it and it runs and receives faster than anything.

This was back well over 10 years ago. Switched to Cingular that turned into AT&T later w/o issue.
Although that is just one locale...

Regardless, the majority of those who travel in the U.S. I think have switched over to Verizon. Was waiting for the Galaxy S3 to officially roll out & may have to wait a bit longer to see VZW's. Pretty sure that everything other than the air card is out of contract with AT&T.

My boss offered to have a phone placed on his account and that is why I said thanks but no thanks, it was a very gracious offer but having the phone in someone else name bothered me.

Thanks for that link, well for the next two years I am locked in with my plan and for what they offer it will be worth it. Now next round who knows.

A strange thing about prepaid or burner phones, the text works when the voice or internet does not and voice worked part of the time. The data packages on contract phones from my understanding works on another system so I was told. No wonder they are jacking the prices, more revenue.

My contract has 8 gigs of data for 50.00 per month, wonder what they will charge for it with the new plan?
