What does "without user assignment" mean here. Not an American and not that familiar with the American telecoms environment of the early 2000s, so while those names ring a bell (no pun intended), I think the comparisons escape me.
- Spooky23 1y agoMost services are tied to a user account or phone number. PIN messages were associated with a phone. Easy to swap sims and phones to build ad hoc groups. Nextel was a little different… their walkie talkie function was not tappable. They became the phone of choice for street level dealers among others.
