Sending from the road

Had a thread on this a while back: http://www.sportsjournalists.com/forum/threads/41347/

Seems like Verizon and Sprint got mostly good reviews, but doesn't look like anyone addressed photos...

 

McDonald's charges $2.95, I think. I'll do Panera if I'm filing during the day, but that's not an option at night.

And not only does Starbucks charge, but isn't the only option $10 for the day? Granted I'm always able to expense it, so it's not really a big deal.

 

doesn't that encompass your entire area of circulation?

 

Only if you've got the acoustic couplers connected just right to the phone and your paper has an 800 number to call in on so you don't have to worry about running out of change midway through the call.

 

You can pay $6 if you're pretty sure you'll be done in one hour; if you go longer, you'll get hit with another $6 hour.

 

I think some of the places actually qualify as small dirt-ass towns, like almost 9,000 people. The tiny dirt-ass towns are the ones where the population might reach four figures.

 

I haven't seen that. At the Starbucks I've been to it's T-Mobile for $10. There weren't any other options.

 

Laugh all you want, but I've sent many times by using the wifi signal from outside -- a Piggly Wiggly

 

Another thought, most sit-down restaurant establishments have a WiFi network in them.

Ruby Tuesdays, O'Charleys and Outback have been pretty reliable in the past.

 

one of my guys at my last shop made mcdonalds his internet whore.

 

I've had to file before by rolling through a neighborhood looking for a WiFi signal without a password. (This works pretty good.)

My company won't buy a wireless card. And I'm not paying for one.
