How are customers billed for wireless service?
Customers want to know how much they will be spending. At SprintPCS, “Wireless Web Services are billed by the usage time, the same as voice services, or by number of messages/updates in the case of Wireless Web Messaging ” AT&T is the same, except they charge additional monthly fees for additional services. Details are available on AT&T’s Digital PocketNet Service Data Plans page. 10. How long does it take to establish a wireless internet connection? AT&T uses circuit-switched data on their TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) network. What this means to the user is that they must establish a connection to begin wireless service. With AT&T, one can wait 30 seconds or more for a wireless internet connection. Customers should be made aware of this limitation. SprintPCS uses a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) network but also uses circuit-switched data. Even though both networks use circuit-switched data, the SprintPCS connection time is much less, at least in the Chicago area. 11. Wh
