The answer is two-fold. First, when you try to access data services via a traditional cell phone, you’re using cellular technology for something other than it was designed. In fact, the past few years’ increase in text and other data transfer volumes are flooding cellular networks’ capacity around the world. Second, telecommunications networks comprise a patchwork of companies, governments, and regulatory bodies that amount to nothing less than a nearly incomprehensible quagmire of rules, regulations, and price structures.
Fortunately, Wi-Fi is quickly changing this situation, in every country around the globe. Packet-based technologies allow for more efficient distribution of every kind of data: voice, text, email, audio, video, GPS, gaming, social networking protocols, you name it. Decentralized, market-driven, and much less regulated, Wi-Fi is rapidly on its way to surpassing old-fashioned cellular as the best way to communicate wirelessly, for both voice and data.
With the recent advent of dual-mode smart phones (which can access both Wi-Fi and cellular), and De-Fi’s service that makes switching between the two effortless and virtually invisible, you can now take advantage of Wi-Fi’s strengths and cellular’s ubiquity with ONE mobile device. But it gets better.
Wi-Fi hotspots are popping up everywhere, many of which are free. Networks such as FON let you access hundreds of thousands of FREE secure hotspots around the world, just by agreeing to contribute some of your home access point’s bandwidth to the network. Best of all, De-Fi’s peering relationships with over 100 carrier-class network providers means you’ll have a level of quality you’re never experienced before: “landline quality” from IP-based calls over Wi-Fi – meaning much higher quality and more reliable than old-fashioned cellular.
All of this for an extremely affordable flat rate of just $40 per month, which includes unlimited long-distance, roaming, and data downloads almost everywhere you travel internationally!
