Cherry – Wifi

Posted by Laura on July 6, 2009

Hey did you hear about this..  I read about it in one of my favorite blog/RSS feed things TechCrunch..

So what this new company has is a technology where you install an application on your cell phone that instead of always using the carrier’s signal & charging for minutes, roaming minutes or whatever, it works off the Wifi or the GSM (whatever is the best fit… it automatically switches from one network to the other without you being aware)  Take out your SIM card & you can only call over the wireless network.   So if you are @ home or @ work you can use the Wifi & not be charged the 9283048023840328 minutes you have already been charged.  Really, something like this is super duper needed.    I am so darn sick of a crazy expensive cell phone bill.   The plans are all so expensive & they can be because we all use our cell phone so much.  I have been hearing a bunch about Cricket around here & I looked @ their website & they are a cell phone provider with decent rates but horrible cell phone coverage & tricky billing schemes.  Really this Cherry company has it all right.. an application to use the cell phone over WiFi.  Duh..  Here is the article from TechCrunch if want the true skinny..
