Yeah, paying is probably going to be part of this. What I was hoping was that I could piggyback on my existing cell phone access. It would also provide a backup in case I lost my phone, or it went wonky. The 5G thing I mentioned in another email spurred me to examine whether I am organizing my access to internet and phone properly. So, I'm looking at the alternatives. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
