I didn't even realise this was possible using SIMs. Hopefully these puppies won't sell well, and Samsung (and other phone manufacturers) abandon the idea ... because a) It defeats the notion of a 'mobile' phone b) It defeats the installing of a local SIM when overseas the avoid 'roaming' charges, and get a better more affordable local pre-paid mobile deal. c) It make sit easier for telcos to abuse their consumers with 'roaming' tariffs. Just my 2 cents worth ... --- _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
