[Electronics-talk] Switching to T-Mobile and Android [was "Re: Electronics-talk Digest, Vol 72, Issue 15"]

[Christopher Chaltain]

I'm surprised switching to T-Mobile from AT&T can save you that much 
money. The last time I went shopping for a cell phone provider, I didn't 
notice the differences amounted to that much, and I ended up with AT&T. 
I'd be curious (maybe off list) to know how you end up saving so much money.

My understanding was that Code Factory's Mobile Accessibility for 
Android was optional. You could still do everything you needed to with 
Talk Back, Spiel and other 3rd party applications. Mobile Accessibility 
is nice since you get a set of accessible applications as part of the 
bundle, so you don't have to go looking for accessible 3rd party 
applications. Maybe you can save yourself that $100 for Mobile 
Accessibility. I also know that AT&T, Sprint and others offer a deal on 
Mobile Accessibility for Android. You might want to see if T-Mobile does 
something similar.

Also, I'm not sure I followed the thread below and the subject line 
wasn't very helpful, so I apologize if I'm asking something that's 
already been covered.

I can get a better deal period on both lines with T Mobile spending 100 dollars less per months versus AT&T.  The only thing that will stink is that I'd have to pay for that code factory thing, but I'm getting the phones for free and I'm going to be the only one using the one phone so I'll only have to pay for it once.

If not, you're probably going to pay a $200 or so early termination fee to do that and that doesn't make sense because you're paying two carriers when one is expensive enough.  The answer to the second part of your question is that there are 3 apps you need for an android phone talk back call back and check back all of which are free.  The other app you need is from code factory and is $99 and that gives you access to the contact list battery istatus and call log.
