And check out my new cell phone stuff right here: Thursday December 30, 2004 Latest Review: The Samsung A790This business-class phone allows you to use Verizon's CDMA network in the U.S. and GSM networks overseas. But is it business-enough? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Read My Review Of The Samsung A790 November 01, 2004 Is Your Kyocera Battery Under Recall? Kyocera today announced a voluntary recall of fraudulent batteries in its KE/KX 400 Series, 3200 Series and Slider Series phones - which represents a amont of phones sold in the U.S. and Canada. Original batteries for these phones may be. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is no charge for this recall, which qualifies as "proactive". In the past, batteries have caused explosions on some Nokia phones. To arrange for a replacement, consumers need to call a Kyocera recall line at 1-866-559-3882.&lt;br /&gt;Press Release Monday November 01, 2004 # &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Treo 650 at PCS Will Support Bluetooth Good news. Sprint PCS changed their decision of removing the Dial-up networking portion of the upcoming Treo Bluetooth, which would allow users to connect their laptop to their Treo's all-you-can-eat wireless data plan, without having to subscribe to a different data plan. Treo owners will be given access to a patch that will re-enable DUN.&lt;br /&gt;source Wednesday October 27, 2004 # &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A Competitor To Verizon Is BornYesterday, with the completion of the Cingular-AT&amp;T Wireless merger, an important change hapened in the cellular. In the latest years, Verizon has dominated the market with interesting pricing and a large coverage area. Now that Cingular and AT&amp;amp;T unite, their coverage may still not be as wide as Verizon's but they should be able to attract customers with a larger network. It will be interesting to see, though, if the merger, by eliminating a competitor, will have the effect of allowing both cingular and AT&amp;amp;T to raise their prices. You can count on me to make note of the current rates and see how it evolves in a few months.Wednesday October 27, 2004 # &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Technical Analysis of The Motorola i860Here is a recent iDEN phone (available at Nextel) with the Push-to-talk feature. Take a look at its pros and cons.&lt;br /&gt;Read Tuesday October 26, 2004 # &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Week of The Mega-Megapixel PhonesNot only are cell phone makers announcing new megapixel phones regularly, we're starting to hear about 4 and even 5 megapixel phones for the "near future"... though we know how that kind of crazy announces sometimes are just vapourware. Nevertheless, Mitsubishi announced this week that it will produce a CCD (the part that actually takes the pictures in phones) that allows for 4 megapixel phones starting in March 2005. And Samsung said that they will launch a 5 megapixel phone as soon as this fall, but only in Korea.&lt;br /&gt;Source Friday October 22, 2004 # &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Canada: Bell Mobility's Customer Service Knock-Out By New Invoicing SystemBell Mobility seems unable to keep up with problems caused by the introduction of its new invoicing system, which delayed some invoices by up to 2 months, causing customers to receive many invoices at once and spawning a storm of customer service calls. Today at 4pm, Bell Mobility's automated response system reported a wait time of more than 3 hours and offered to call customers back (which I suspect means they'll call you back tomorrow).Tuesday October 19, 2004 # &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New Service Sends Weather Forecasts By SMSAn interesting service was launched today by the Weather Channel, that allows you to get a weather forecast by sending a short message, with your zip code in it, to 4CAST (42278), which will return the prediction by short message too. Pretty simple, easy and wise, but the rate is a bit exagerated. At $0.75 per forecast, let's hope we'll be able to get a refund if the forecast was innacurate! And it may be wiser and just as quick to simply set a bookmark to your city's weather in your wap browser.Tuesday October 19, 2004 # &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Highly Publicized Motorola MPx220 Hits The Stores This Sunday The Motorola MPx220, which has been the object of a considerable Internet Buzz, mostly because it is based on a Microsoft operating system, is going in stores Sunday. So far, it will only be available on a Cingular contract at Best Buy stores beginning Sunday, and later this fall at Cingular stores. Is this megapixel camera phone worth it?&lt;br /&gt;View Specifications and Features&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8974735-109938151471868050?l=cell-phones-plans.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cell-phones-plans.blogspot.com/feeds/109938151471868050/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8974735&amp;postID=109938151471868050' title='42 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8974735/posts/default/109938151471868050'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8974735/posts/default/109938151471868050'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cell-phones-plans.blogspot.com/2004/11/cell-phones-and-service-plans-for.html' title='Cell Phones and Service Plans for the Frugal'/><author><name>voip-cell-phones</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07586069461648579940</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>42</thr:total></entry></feed>
