(Yes, the organizers were angry and should be asking for a refund.) Lots of people had netbooks, and I had my laptop, but without good consistent wifi, it was pretty slow.<br /><br />Which is why access to a 3G phone was needed so badly.

Or...Oh crap...wish I'd read this before I left. Or maybe I don't. I relied on twitter from my Rogers blackberry to find people all weekend. Don't think I could have done without it and at least this way I didn't spend the weekend stressing about it.

I had to add the US phone plan to my manager's BB when he was in the US for a week. Ours is a corporate account as well. They told me that it was based on billing cycle, so if I called today and our billing cycle was the 30th of the month, we would be billed for 7 days and then a new month would start on the 30th. They told me as long as we cancelled before the start of the billing period we'd only pay the pro-rated amount. Check it out. But meanwhile, try and have fun. :)Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03154636161249104743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30651776.post-21051558478585598182009-07-23T14:36:16.586-04:002009-07-23T14:36:16.586-04:00Yup, the cellphone companies suck ass, and municip...Yup, the cellphone companies suck ass, and municipal garbage collection is nonexsistent ;-P<br /><br />Have a great time at BlogHer.
