What's even more shocking to me than bluetooth access is when people leave their computers open to attack on a network. A few weeks ago I was up at an agency here in CPH, and just for the fun of it, I connected to their wireless network (not password protected) and I could have ransacked over fifty computers. I didn't, but I wonder how many creative, financial, and other internal files I could have sat there and downloaded.
In the US, you pay for airtime on every call, outgoing or incoming. So if you have a 500 minute per month plan, it applies to every call. I don't know about sms or other messages, but of course there are unlimited plans. And I think most roaming charges have been done away with in the states, at least my plan with AT&T has no roaming charges. I'm not sure why I even keep my US phone since I only spend about two months a year there at this point.
I have Telia here in DK, and my plan gives me free calls to every other Telia phone, and to all Danish landlines. But I only have 200 minutes for other mobile phones, and calls out of Denmark are at a higher rate. So when I call you in Malmö, I pay more than when I make a call to Southern Jutland even though you're much closer. And the weird thing is that the 200 minute plan is the biggest one Telia offers. If we both had 3 Mobile, Sweden and Denmark are both included in their plan with no roaming or long distance charges.
Incoming sms are free to people with Portugese numbers. Depending on your carrier, outgoing are around $.13 domestic and $.29 International. European mobile service is charged very differently than the States. You don't pay for anything inbound here in Denmark, only the calls you make or the messaging you initiate, like landline phones in the US.

It's articles like these that made me question making donations to
WWF. Of course a number of years ago when my then eight year old
asked for some money to give to WWF to help save some endagered species
I just smiled and gave it to him. :-)

You're right on target. It's almost a lift. I'm not very fond of the ad, but I'd still like to try the candy.
