It has been a month now without AT&T 3G service on my iPhone 4, and I have not missed it even a little bit. The few times I have been out and about and needed to make a call the Clear Wireless mobile hotspot has worked like a champ!
It seems like I get less time to answer a call before it goes to voicemail - sometimes Skype will only ring once before the caller gets ungraciously dispatched to recording land. But I never have any trouble calling them right back - so I am willing to check off that weakness and then think about the massive reduction in my mobile costs! :)
Once I can get my bluetooth headset working with Skype - everything will be perfect.
An additional note on the 4G hotspot - when out and about it works very well, but in the house or in my office it does not do so great. I know they offer a different device for home use (which presumably can handle weaker signals better), but for now we are sticking with Cable for the home internet. That caps our savings at around $80/month for now. And that feels really good!
