After going through the semi-regular review of our mobile phone plans, the coincidental semi-regular Canadian frustration also set in. My phone-service provider has a decent plan system, however, the basic services of caller ID and voicemail are ridiculously expensive. Here is the math: $7.00 for one of those services and for a great bundled price of $10.00 per month you can have both. Considering that I once paid $18.99 not so long ago for a physical answering machine. This is a complete rip-off. I know the phone companies will never-ever make these features inexpensive. By refusing to pay their insane prices, I know that I am in the minority
There must be an application that can do some of this for you.
- Who are you: This is billed as a free caller ID. It really is not. It provides valuable enhanced caller ID information, but cannot substitute for not having caller ID service from your phone company.
- You Mail Visual VoiceMail: Doesn't seem to be available for my phone/country
There are ways of getting around some of the locked features of Android Market to try things like YouMail, which holds great promise.
Market Unlocker, is an application that promises to break those pesky geographic blocks. The problem is, that it needs a rooted phone, which I have yet to attempt.
Getting root access will be my next project.
