What if cost is a concern? All these apps that assume free and easy
internet access are an absolute pain - I generally wouldn't touch an app
of that sort. (And I gather mobile plans are a lot cheaper here than in
America - a minimal contract over here is £5/pm or less ($7?). I pay
£12.50/pm including a free mid-range phone and that's more than enough
for me. Including a phone my wife pays £7.50.
Bearing in mind I live on the edge of London (the largest city in the
world?) and I *regularly* have connectivity problems on my phone. Both
over the phone network, and over home broadband ...
