Here’s a neat device that takes a 3G signal, and uses it to create a Wifi hotspot. See it on Amazon, and read about it on Leo Laporte’s site. Read endgadget’s review for more info.
When will we get a similar device here? I can create a wifi site that starts off with a splash page advertising my, hmmm, services.
BTW, have you calculated how much SMS costs? Say you send a 140 character text message. Assuming you get a 0.5 sen/sms offer, then one SMS (140 bytes) is o.5sen, and the cost for 1kb is 3.5 sen. The cost of 1MB is Rm35. Kinda expensive, don’t you think?
Other end of the spectrum, assuming 1 message is 20 bytes long, and one SMS is 10sen, then the cost for 1MB is Rm5000.
If you are a serious texter, get unlimited 3G broadband, and use a free sms service.
