Feels hackable, I wonder what kinds of things people will come up with. Do they still charge monthly for service?
I think some kind of wind-up cell phone charger would be more useful for people than a separate cell phone powered by AA batteries ("Hey, where'd I put those spare AA batteries...?")
- nandhp 10y ago$25 Annual Plan Includes SpareOne Locate and Alert service and 120 minutes of nationwide calling. Includes basic voicemail, call waiting and 3-way calling. https://www.att.com/cellphones/spareone/emergency-phone-prepaid.html https://www.att.com/cellphones/spareone/emergency-phone-prep... (But of course you don't need a plan to use a cell phone for 9-1-1.)
- asmithmd1 10y agoWhy bother trying to hack it? For $40 you can get an Arduino with a cell modem built it: http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/Seeeduino-GPRS-p-1909.html http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/Seeeduino-GPRS-p-1909.html What about a SIM and data plan you ask? Head over to: http://neo.aeris.com/ http://neo.aeris.com/ With just a credit card, no contract required, you can buy a SIM for $2.75 and $1/month gets you 750k of data. You can turn SIMs on and off month to month. You have to buy 10 SIMs to get started but they are having a promotion right now to get 10 SIMs for the price of one. I have no connection to either Seeed Studio or Aeris other than being a happy customer of both
