Everyone with a smartphone is required to pay $30-$35 smartphone fee. Having said that, the ability to use FaceTime over cellular networks should be included in that price, in my opinion. If the wireless providers decide to charge customers an extra fee to use FaceTime over their networks, I will not pay. Although I do use FaceTime, I use it occasionally and usually when I'm at home so paying to use it over their networks wouldn't be smart on my part. I do not need to see the person I'm talking to so if I'm not near a Wi-Fi network to use FaceTime then I will either call the person or send a text message like I do now. By the way, if i had to to do a video chat of some sort, I could always use ooVoo for free. What about you?
