Vote: Radio Sure (a Windows app... best streaming radio player ever made, in fact)

Vote: Tune-in Radio (a website, and also an Android app... and an iPhone app, too, I think)

The problem of a dead phone (or PDA, or whatever similar) keeping one from accessing one's important numbers has been among my chief reasons for not ever actually relying on them for such. Or, if one does, be sure to have a print-out of all the phone numbers somewhere in one's briefcase.

@AnxiousLogic is a contrarian: Mark Zuckerberg, et al, at facebook, have shown themselves to not be above flat-out lying to its users, and flat-out violating — usually egregiously — their privacy. One would have to have spent the past few years living under a rock — and also unconscious — not to be painfully aware

Either of these...

There are actually several apps, now, which do one form or another of this sort of thing. There are even, as the article states (and to which it links) some creative methods which don't involve apps at all.

AT&T, for whatever it's worth, also warns the heck out of the user as s/he nears his/her monthly data usage total...

The freeware ZDBox all-in-one toolbox app...

@hotscot: I also use an Infuse (SGH-i997)... and my wife has it's little brother, the Captivate (SGH-i897)... both on AT&T (as, no doubt, unless you're in Canada, and on Rogers, is your wife). And neither of our phones are the first Android devices we've used. Plus, I've been in IT for 35+ years; and my consulting

In my ministry of agency/advocacy to/for the homeless, disabled (and, what the heck, even enabled, if they need the help) vets, the indigent elderly, the prostituted, recent parolees, and others similarly in need...

@adamlamore: Please tell me that yours is sarcasm...

@bobkoure: Indeed. Excellent!

@Mragin: I feel for ya' on the thing about receiving all the jokes, and urban legends, etc. The difference between you and me, though (at least on this matter) is that I am zero-tolerant of it...

Not everyone's situations fits so easily into Morrison's ideal universe. Some of us get literally hundreds and hundreds of emails per day, perhaps only some of which are actually desired (many of them, of course, subscriptions); and all that, despite that we've not misconfigured anything, or have been derelict about

I love LifeHacker...

With high-quality TPU cases costing under $5 (certainly no more than $7) on Amazon...

ZDBox

It's not really possible to be a very serious socio-political activist without fairly frequetly writing the watch list words in emails and other places. If that's all it takes, then... well... I'm just sayin'.

@tcaruth: Yeah... I was just thinking the same thing about AutomateIT Pro (Tasker's direct competitor). Either one could easily do it... and, yes, a ton more, besides!

@Ozonethegreat206: Ahhhh. Someone who actually GETS it. Thank you.
