You pay a price that equals an amount of money that you are allowed to spend anyway you want.. Be that voice, texts or data.

Like almost all carriers here in Sweden do.

Tiered plans, and the price you pay, is the money you get to use.
Anything above that price, you pay metered.

Paying 20$ a month and used 25$? then you get those last 5$ separate on your bill.

It really is that simple, instead of all this crazy talk you guys spout about plans consisting of voice minutes and texts and data..

But then again.. I would never ever get myself a subscription.. I'm happy with my prepaid card, I have complete control over how much I wish to spend each month.

Lemme give you some examples.
The unlimited plan for one company: 100$ (and they've recently raised the cost from ~85$, to make it an actual unlimited plan, instead of just being a price roof of ~855$, since the use of smart phones is rising)
the cheapest one: ~14$

Now, if you were to buy an Iphone through this company, then you'd pay a minimum of ~42$, but instead you'd -always- get unlimited data, so that money only goes towards voice and texts.

PS. No they have no problems what so ever with over congested networks.
And I know this from the fact that I'm working for them.

off-topic: Code Monkey!

regarting TA: I prefer my Razer Copperhead over anything else(wired or otherwise) I've used so far.
Given, I don't own a laptop, so for that a wireless would probably be a better choice, but I wouldn't spend a whole lot of time programing on it even if I did have one.

It certainly is true that girls know from miles away if you're taken or not, and if you're taken, then they want you.
I think it has something to do with forbidden fruit, 'since you can't have it, you want it more then ever'. -shrugs-

So, a good experiment, would be to try to fake being spoken for, since then they'll come flocking wanting you.

>I am actually quite doubtful this one normally would either, and am leaning towards the possibility that whoever that approved the change don't have much sympathy for Pirate Ponten
>and therefore could not resist approving the change.

Actually, considering other names that have been approved, such as Fantomen(swedish version of The Phantom), then it is very likely that it is Ok for this to go through without a hitch.
Kalle Anka(swedish version of Donald Duck) also have been approved.

That's exactly what I read too.
And it's also what I do right now, keeping myself from being productive by playing.

hmm.. indistinguishable from an excel spreadsheet.. that would be an easy way to 'avoid prying eyes'(Boss).

-is eaten by a Grue-

I can tell you, from a working experience, that it's not just call centers that do that.
The ones employed by the company directly, do almost more fucked up things then the ones employed by call centers.
At least here in Sweden.

In regard to the article:
Sounds like the boat crew(or who now it was that operated the boat connection) is at fault.
But, AT&T shouldn't really have any obligation to alter the bill, but the boat company should have paid it in full instead.

Or, at least that's how I think it should be. I'm not from the US, and I'm actually very happy about that ^_^
