1and1.com is increasing their rates so I’m off the air as of 8/21/09 or so. Haven’t broke even for many years, although 2001 was a very good year. One cent click rates and easy money. It’s probably still out there somewhere. Need to find that kind of excitement somewhere else now.
Not one day after I switched from Verizon to ATT did I discover PagePlus Cellular. 12 cents a minute with a 50 cent monthly fee and 120 day life per refill. They use the Verizon network so any old Verizon phone works. I’m transfering Gina’s phone right now. I think I could get by with about $30 a year on PagePlus with 83 minutes for $10 every fourth month. ATT will cost me at least $100. I think after my current $25/three month refill goes up I may switch to PagePlus if Gina’s usage goes well. I did want to try ATT since I may be getting an iPhone in July when the new ones are out. At over $800 difference a year that’s less likely to happen now…
This free wireless antenna booster solved a marginal reception problem I was having with using my iPod Touch on our new deck. It’s called the “Ez-12 Parabolic Reflector Template”. Print it out, affix it to some card stock, or a Wheat Thins box in my case. Add some foil, cut, bend and slip over your WiFi antenna. Easy to make and use. Particularly helpful if your wireless sits at one end of your house and you need asymmetrical coverage.
