Internet on smartphone | Page 2 | Telecom Consumer Discussion Forums

I agree with Costin. Smartphone use, just like the internet itself, has to build up a following and now that smartphones are so much more affordable, people will begin using them for more. I think that most students and younger people generally don’t spend as much time on traditional social media as they used to. It seems that ‘personal interaction’ is through chat apps and texting more than through the media pages themselves. I know very few people under the age of 30 who actually “publicly” post on their media pages, most of them just chat individually or in groups via apps like snap chat. Sometimes they may post something like “I’m going to be at a certain place this evening – who wants to come along?” But for the most part they’re not publicly social.

I would always use my internet on phone via wifi. UK charges are quite expensive and I would only use mobile data unless I really need to check something important. It’s quite amazing that in the past, all the mobile users just want plenty of free texts and minutes. Now, the consumers prefer to have a good deal when it comes to data too.

Has anyone here signed up for the iPhone 6 with unlimited data plan from Sprint? I have to admit that’s even tempting for me — and I intentionally avoid Apple products.
