The fees? It will cost .19 USD per connect, a relatively hefty fee.  If you just need to check your mail quickly, it may be worth it.  But for longer conencts, you might want to just pay Boingo’s usual hourly rate of about $5 per hour or $10 for a day.

The new Skype wifi feature is available on the newest Mac version of skpe. Pc users have to wait.

With this so called “Baby” BlackBerry from LeapFrog, Kids can play games and even learn some computer skills. This allows young kids to imitate their parents, send text messages, and “browse the web”.

Using the service Prank dialer dot com, you can choose from a range of messages to have called to your friends, or upload your own free prank call and have it dialed.  It’s a great way to distract your friend and get a little laugh out of it.

I tested the Prank dialer and it worked without a hitch.   I didn’t care for the ending ad at the end, but you cant expect everything for free.

Prank your friends free, visit prankdialer.com

Unique is the fact that you can call any US senator for free. The Anywhere 1200 for $85 rivals T-Mobiles $100 for 1000 minutes. Even for $55 you can buy a nice 800 minutes.

At first I was skeptical about the price, looking for a disadvantage is call coverage area, but after reviewing the map, Earth Tone Wireless must be paying for the use of cell phone towers such as tower sharing with ATT or Sprint. They seem to have an excellent coverage area.

Billing is done in 6 second increments, it is explained on their site as “After the first 30 seconds all domestic calls are billed in 6-second increments. (Most phone companies round your call up to the next minute, so for a 2 and a half minute phone call they will charge you for three minutes. By not rounding up your calls, we save you up to 15% off what you would be paying a company with the same rates and full minute billing.)” This should also save you some cash with your wireless bill.

Should you switch to http://www.earthtones.com/? It is definitely worth a look into.

Currently Phone Tag is giving away a month for free of their services.  If you are a casual voicemail user, Phone Tag costs only $10 per month for 40 voicemails per month.

Uses for voicemail to Text? For those who want to save time, I don’t see any better way. It takes time logging into voicemail and listening to every single message. They also send you an attachment of the voicemail message if you really want to hear it. So far from the reviews I’ve read, Phone Tag, usually gets the message pretty much exact.

To get started visit http://phonetag.com/ (those who signup get 30 days free)

One big misconception is that Google is developing a phone. Rather it’s not actually developing an actually “Google Phone” rather just the software for phones. Samsung, HTC, LG Electronics, and Motorola are just some of the companies that plan to use the Google Phone software.
