My phone currently allows me be contacted by voice or text anywhere, anytime.  Thats awesome, but 80-90% of my time is spent at home or at work with active wireless internet with a majority of my cellular communication being voice.  So?  How about Skype unlimited US &#038; Canada service.  The service includes unlimited outgoing calling to US and Canada, voicemail service, and some Skype credits for texting.  There&#8217;s an additional fee for an online telephone number so people could call me from a telephone, but out-the-door, its about $6.75 per month.  Way better than my 46 dollar cell bill.  So I bought an iPAQ RX1955 off eBay.  It turns out the thing has only 64MB memory shared between storage and RAM. I got some programs running on it, but I can&#8217;t get Skype mobile to use the microphone\/speaker that are on it!  LAME.  So I&#8217;m probably going to hawk the thing on eBay and try something else.  Thats the tough part of making a cheap monthly service work:  you have to be willing to experiment and fiddle until it works well&#8230;  just like Linux.<\/p>\n<div class='lj-moods-meta'><b>Current Mood:<\/b> \ud83d\ude41disappointed<br\/><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My goal is to eliminate my insane cell phone bill and replace it with something that only has the functionality I require.
