Is this device a wifi device that makes calls and texts over wifi? Is it a GSM / CDMA device? Which carriers will support it?
The article states "Those in the U.S. will need to purchase a data plan through AT&T and those in the U.K. will go through O2."
The line at the end, "This is the first device to ever offer a phone free calling feature" seems patently false for most common-sense definitions of "calling feature."
I believe their intent when they say "phone-free" is to say that it stands on its own and doesn't need to be paired with a phone in order to make/receive calls.
- jMyles 12y ago> The article states "Those in the U.S. will need to purchase a data plan through AT&T and those in the U.K. will go through O2." The article did not say that at the time that I made my comment. I see the paragraph in question has been changed substantially. The sentence preceding the part that you quote now reads: ''' We don’t know exactly what the retail price will be but will.i.am did say it was less than the cost of an iPhone without a plan and that it was “affordable.” ''' If memory serves, when I read it, it simply said: ''' We don’t know exactly what the retail price will be but will.i.am did say that it was “affordable.” ''' > I believe their intent when they say "phone-free" is to say that it stands on its own and doesn't need to be paired with a phone in order to make/receive calls. But I mean, isn't any computer with google voice already this?
