Two Biggest Issues If Wireless411 Has To Be Created



by Henry T. Townsend


Many mobile users are keen to know whether the information regarding talk for creation of a national directory for wireless users is true or not.

The answer is in the negative. It will naturally disappoint those who want it and give joy to people who are against it. The government after studying all the pros and cons of the move and also the privacy concerns has come to the conclusion that it may become a problem for subscribers to get listed in the directory.

The directory was to be called wireless 411. Of the many issues involved, two are given below:

Subscribers will have to spend more. Subscribers may get unwanted calls for which they will be charged.

Unwanted calls will not normally be from telemarketers, as the directory cannot be purchased, nor is it in print. However, any person can get the number from the database.

Mobile users who are listed in the database will be charged a fee, every time they make or receive calls. This is applicable to both local and calls for long distance and also for texts.

Some mobile users avail of unlimited calling plans. But the majority goes for plans with limited talk time and text every month. For exceeding the limit they are charged. In addition there are plans for making payment every time the phone is used.

2. There was a fear that the directory may not get sufficient members, making it not of much use to many users. If the directory, or any directory is formed, but no one uses it, does it matter? The estimate was that a limited number of subscribers after 50% or even less were showing interest to join the directory. At least 50% was needed to make it useful.
