Yes , Googlewants to be a wireless toter . Not to take the whole world by storm ( yet ) , but to push the limit of what wireless carriers do . The latest potential perquisite ? Service outside the US at no extra cost .
According toreports from The Telegraph , Google ’s in talk with the UK carrier Three so that its upcoming service will be capable to offer voice , text , and data point to Americans travel abroad at no additional electric charge and without the trouble of switching SIMs or getting a local plan .
Sounds great , correct ? You bet , but there are a few potential catches . Who have it away if these talks are any more far-flung than with just one attack aircraft carrier in the UK . And besides , Google ’s already been pretty cleared this is just a teeny midget pilot project , andit could even be constrained to Nexus 6 owners only . You might be hard - press to get in on the fun .
Still , one of the bounteous , most pestering , and most unavoidable annoyances of traveling is figure out what stupid contractual basketball game you ’ll have to skip through to control that your all - knowing pocket supercomputer will keep on to allow you access to the entirety of recorded human knowledge without charging you like a bajillion dollars on the sly . And if Google can show that it ’s possible , that could put press on other , bigger provider to step up their secret plan . After all , Google Fiber pose Comcast to ( at least promise that it ’s going to)roll out 2 Gbps internet . Here ’s to hoping SIM - swapping days could be over soon . [ The TelegraphviaMashable ]
