Compared to java apps for cellphones – calling cards work everywhere
Every month it seems there is a great deal of excitement about the latest Smartphone release. One company is always trying to outdo another: that's the way the competitive market place works of course. You would think though, that with all of the different Smartphone's in the market place, that java application developers would start making applications that worked across all phone's regardless of whom the manufacturer is. But it's not as simple as that! Neather an iphone app would work on a Nokia nore an Nokia app on the iphone for example.
It is similar with international calling plans. There are so many plans but each provider has their own set of rules and rates. Trying to choose the right calling plan is like trying to choose the right Smartphone, there are just too many variables that make it difficult to know what the right decision is. That's why I like calling cards so much.
If you want to call India, for example, you just pull out your India calling card and dial. It doesn't matter which phone you are using because calling cards work across the board on all phones. If they can make applications like that for cards to call India from any phone, why can't other applications work on any phone?
