I don’t know what information they want, but they want to use it to generate a revenue–maybe targeted advertising.

I never ordered service but instead have a mifi device that I carry and use a voip service with. Works absolutely fine and the best part is I have no phone bill. I am interested in the above model as it does offer the most data available for that price. You are essentially getting 1.5gigs for $10 a month (if you go over 500mb monthly allotment). For someone on wifi an average of 18-20 hours per day through work and home this is a no brainer. I ditched my beloved at&t. I save $840 annually and have no contract. It is not for everyone but it is for me. $10 a month on an iphone.

It has my retired landline number on it. Total cost per year including audio email messages? $10.34 including tax. PER YEAR. Best kept secret in VOIP for pennies a month.

There’d be a lot of cases stopping it slipping out of your hands. The iPhone 4 is bad enough!
Cheers

Maybe some Android entrepreneur will.

i already own a few different gsm devices that would be perfect with a free 500MB or data.

All 4G “mifi” devices that I looked at recently topped at 4 hours. Not good enough for full-day VoIP service.
