Subject: Something to ask about when you check with wireless providers.


Crawford County, Robinson, Illinois

Don't know if it is true, but I have read that the "unlimited service" is sometimes limited if you use it too much.  I have read somewhere that if you develop a history of remaining connected with a cellphone provider using a card or a direct connection, your usage gets limited, even though it is listed as unlimited.

I have never used such a service, so don't know how true that is, but I would ask if there is such a thing if I were considering it, and would test that feature before signing up for a long time with any provider.

It really makes sense that if you equip a desktop or laptop with a card for such a service, and leave it connected all the time as we are accustomed to do with a broadband server, that the provider would attempt to free some airtime in some manner.  Comes under the heading, if it's too good to be true, it probably isn't.
