Europe to Ban Roaming Charges in 2017

30/06/2015 by admin

2017 is the year Pacific Rim—that jacked up giant-robots-versus-aliens blockbuster—will finally get a well-deserved sequel, all the remaining sealed files on JFK’s assassination will have seen the light of day and Europe will ban all roaming charges across the European Union. As much as we’d like to cover all of the upcoming events for that year, we’re gonna focus on the third one. Let’s hear it: hip hip hooray, in two years’ time we will no longer have to fret about kilometre-long phone bills while on vacation! At long last.

Travel Across Europe, Make Calls As If You’re Home

Namely, the European Union has agreed to scrap roaming charges across the Old Continent altogether. While this agreement is still in its preliminary stages and waiting for the approval of other EU governments and the European Parliament, according to predictions the process should carry on without any hiccups.

What does this mean in a nutshell? Essentially, once the law’s passed, phone users who are travelling through any of the EU countries will be paying the same as they would at home. Phone calls, text messages, data—none of it would cost more than usual. Still, certain fair use policy clauses will need to be added, e.g. you most definitely won’t be able to register and pay for a phone in a country you don’t reside in just so you could save money back home. Fair’s fair.

Equal Net Rights for All

Additionally, the subject of net neutrality has cropped up and the European Parliament has agreed that networks need to treat all Internet traffic equally.

A “Digital Single Market” has been in the works for years and this is definitely not the first time the abolition of roaming charges has been in the spotlight. We might not be breaking out the champagne just yet, but, nevertheless, 2017 seems like it’ll be bringing some good news overall.

The Light Phone Only Lets You Make and Receive Calls

14/05/2015 by admin

The positive side of smartphones? We can use them for almost anything: calling, texting, Web browsing, taking photos and videos, reading books, listening to music, etc. The negative side? You see more and more people walking around with their faces buried in their phones. Remember the time when you could only use your phone for basic functions, a.k.a texting and calling? Or when you couldn’t be reached by anyone? Well, the creators of the Light Phone do.

Light Phone KickStarter

Calls Only: Simple and Easy

The Light Phone is a device the size of a credit card that you can use to either make or receive calls. That’s all. Not even texting. The folks behind the Light Phone wanted to create a device which does not distract phone users from their daily lives, but only serves as a communications tool.

The Light Phone

The Light Phone can be connected to your regular handset, meaning that you can forward calls to it, and in case your smartphone dies out on you, the Light Phone will provide you with 500 mintues of talktime.

“Prior to having a phone, I loved the excuse of being unreachable by my parents when I would be out. I found solitude incredibly therapeutic. And when I did go out for the day, my phone would usually die and I loved that. I used to joke about how freeing it was: no idea what time it was, no guilt of not answering or waiting for a reply,” says Joe Hollier, one of the Light Phone’s creators.

The Light Phone might appear funny to you, but the idea behind it is great: leave your personal computers for a while (i.e. phones), and start interacting more with others or devote more time to yourself. If you like this project, you can head over to its official KickStarter page.
