Furthermore, unless you are in a free WiFi area and using a VOIP provider, you're still paying for service. Most of service plans cost the same whether you provide your own equipment or not... therefore equating the cost of service over the lifetime of the phone to the cost of the phone is not a valid comparison. However, something like "It's your phone, use it your way" is likely the better avenue. - John _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
