yes, i know... you send and receive packets...
i type in
www.google.com on my computer, and it sends packets to the router telling it what to access, and the router sends packets to my computer with the information
thank you very much for internets 101
while you are correct in your basics of how transmitting wireless data signals works....however, YOU are wrong in the rest
i should have been more clear... your phone, yes, will be both sending and receiving packets...but it will only act as a receiver for data packets... if it connects to a router to do this , so what? is your phone going to become the router, and the actual router is going to start displaying received information????? that is absurd, your "model" makes no sense
they cannot limit the use of your wifi antenna...it is hardware...it is always there.... if i turn off my iphones 3g and EDGE connection, i can still use my wifi...just like said before... if you buy the device and do not activate it, you will still be able to use the wifi ... it has nothing to do with network service or data service -- NOTHING
now... the hotspotting is an actual service...the same as how cell signal is a service, so is hotspotting...
dont believe me? go get a no frills phone, with a cell plan...and then go get a clearwire subscription for wireless computing... you have two plans... doing two different things
this phone allows the two to merge, so if you wish to activate the hotspotting service, you pay extra
please dont tell me i am wrong... youre in far far left field.
