If our smartphones are like supercomputers in our pockets, why do we still end up paying for things by accident?
Google, Samsung, and Apple have all been spending a lot of time talking about AI lately. If you believe the hype, we’re on the verge of an intelligence revolution that will make our lives easier than we’ve ever dreamed.
On my phone, I made the eSIM the primary method for data, but I needed to keep my normal SIM active for voice and texts . Since inbound calls and texts carry no extra fees when traveling, there’s zero risk … until you forget you’re not at home. Pricey long-distance phone calls Story No. 2: My kids usually text and call each other via iMessage, which means that as long as they’re on a Wi-Fi network, it’s free; they don’t even use up their data plans. But sometimes, instead of hitting the button for a FaceTime audio call, they make a regular voice call. And when one kid is in Toronto, and the other is in Copenhagen, that can be a costly mistake. Specifically, an extra $75 charge on my bill for a 35-minute long-distance call.
Then, our phones should present us with some options. You could go full nanny mode and be prevented from taking any actions that would incur extra fees. You could go sidekick mode and get a pop-up dialog anytime it looks like you’re about to do something that would cost money: “It looks like you’re about to make a long-distance call that isn’t covered by your mobile plan. Proceed?”
