competition is everything
Authored by: PeterDie on Sep 15, '03 06:58:54PM

Fairly primitive continent, the Americas, as regards to cell phone networks. In the Netherlands, I found myself a good mobile deal:
1. Signed up with mobile phone company: got one Siemens S55 (TripleBand, Infrared, Bluetooth, serial PC-cable and camera included) for free, no entry fee or admin costs, first 3 month 5 euro off subscription fee.
2. Bluetooth in Siemens works flawlessly with OSX, (also with iSync, no need for Palm for me) found myself a Siemens GPRS modem script
3 entered some info in network preferences (ATN name in phone number field; that's a killer)
Got GPRS whereever I might go, with $35 USB bluetooth dongle.
GPRS: always on internet for 1 euro 50 per Mb data transfer. Speeds: didn't check yet, but pages load comparable to 14K4 modem speeds.
My subscription fee is 12 euro 50 per month, for that i can call 500 minutes (that's over 8 hours per month) to landline based phones and other O2 subscribers. Other mobile phones: 15 eurocent per minute.

Yeeeehaaaww!!!
