    Skype & Qwert

    My girlfriend absolutely never talks on the phone and only texts.
    She has a netbook, so moblie internet access isnt a concern as long as she can tap into a wireless network somewhere.
    She's thinking of getting one or both of these plans instead of paying $60/month for her current plan that doesnt even include wireless internet access on her phone.
    I'm kinda leary of both of them since they're so cheap, but I really dont know.

    Qwert - Text Only Phone Plans - Texting Only Plans
    Skype ? Make free calls and great value calls on the internet

    So what do you guys think about these alternate plans to conventional wiereless service?
    Anyone have 1st, 2nd or 3rd hand experience with either?

    I don't know the deal with the amount of data your country gives on plans, but It's a lot better than having the two deals. A netbook that only works on wifi and she's paying for it? Stupid. I thought Amreeka was awesome for data deals. Just get a phone that's comfortable to type on. Nokia E71/72 is awesome, coz you only have to charge them every 4-7 days anyway and qwerty is woo. If she wants Skype make sure she goes with carrier that has a deal with them.

    Syco- "The Empress is the latter leg of this triad, representing the physical body and the material world. From her comes all the pleasure of the senses and the abundance of life in all its forms. She is also the mother archetype, and through her we get a first glimpse of the power of love in the Tarot." I think this is all representative of awesomly large tits, no?

    No, she didnt get the netbook thru a wireless carrier
    It was just like buying any other PC.

    I don't use Skype for actual telephone calls, only for Skype calls/video chats. For a free service, I can't complain. It's actually not bad. I've had a couple of issues here and there with not being able to see someone's video or them not being able to see me, but we can usually at least hear each other with little problem. I've heard a couple of friends mention in passing them calling a telephone with Skype, and those mentions never included criticism or complaint, so I guess you could take that as a very vague good sign?
