Data or Regular Phone
Nov 28th, 2008 by Alan Yu
One thing I have been debating about is to get a data phone as from time to time it seems like it would be very useful to browse through listings such as from the casting workbook through my phone. I have always avoided a data phone before as the cost of it doesn’t really seem to be worth it. I know in the US the data plans are generally good, but here in Canada they are almost highway robbery.
Interesting thing too is that I noticed that most of the time I go on sets people often have iPhones and they don’t even seem like they really use all of the features as it is more about having one. I know people with blackberry’s always say that they can’t live without I afterwards and I’m pretty sure it will be the same if I opted to go wit a data phone.
At this point I have always said that once I land my first big role I would get one as I’m sure I will have to keep updated remotely whether it is learning about call times or get notices of new opportunities. For now, I’ll try to survive without one.
