Do you know if the wi-fi coverage is sufficient to where you could ditch having a cell phone? Just use an iPod Touch with Skype + Gtalk or something?

- Retric 14y agowi-fi does not allow you to take calls while driving. So, it's just a question of how much convince your willing to give up to avoid a cellphone bill.
- specialist 14y agoMy employer has "roaming" wifi. I can walk around, change floors, change buildings and not lose connection. I don't know how they do it. It's very cool. Compared to... I was contracting at AT&T Wireless for a few months. Worst enterprise IT I've experienced. Getting a desk phone to work was near impossible. No one could access their voicemail. No voicemail - email bridge. The in-house chat/voice conferencing didn't work (stutter, dropped connections, couldn't login). You'd lose wifi connection walking down the hall, requiring full reauthentication for everything (signin, VPN, db connections, etc).
- recursive 14y ago"Mobile" phones come full circle. Cell tower coverage still isn't even sufficient for a lot of my use. Unless I'm at home or work, I almost never am in range of a wifi hotspot. I am very frequently not at home or work.
