Hi:
Where I live, Montreal Canada, the phone system has been changed use 10 digit dialing only.
Sometimes a call is long distance and sometimes it is not.
I pay extra for long distance minutes.
When I am at home, or anywhere where I can use wifi, I use the 'Google Call Back' app to initiate my call from GV. GV calls me back and connects me. My 'incoming' calls are free so there are no long distance charges. This is fine, if I can use wifi.
If there is no wifi, I can use my data plan to achieve the same result but I have to pay for data usage. I 'turn off' data on my phone because, if I don't, my data usage goes up whether I want it to or not - I think things get updated or synced or something if I leave 'data on'.
What I would like to do is use data only when I need it to call GV to initiate a call when there is no wifi.
I suppose that this could be done by deleting all the other 'data using' apps on my phone but I would like to have them to be used when I need them.
It is not that I am 'cheap', just unemployed.
Rob.
P.S. Apparently, Canada has some of the most expensive cell phone/data plans in the world - Go Canucks!!!
