Some of you may recall I had planed on upgrading my wife's LGenv3 semidumb phone to an iphone5. Well, yesterday I received an email alert from Verizon that they are offering me an early upgrade on the new every 2 plan. I still have 6 months to go but they are offering the upgrade on about 20 different LTE smartphones for the new every two sale price. The iphone5 16gb is $199.
So, I decided it may be a good time for her upgrade. She does OK with the LG as she is not a power user but I think an iphone would be a good tool for her to expand her smart phone horizons. She has a Blackberry too that she uses owned by her employer so she isn't totally unfamiliar with e-mail on a phone.
But, considering our daughter has an iphone 4s and is somewhat a power user, I can see them using "facetime" more. My daughter is on AT&T, however.
So my question is, does Facetime have any extra charges or is it just a hit on your data allotment. I'm pretty sure we have plenty of spare data on our plan.
The other thing is, I want to shut off one of our devices which is a mobile hotspot and just use her iphone5 as a hotspot for her ipad1 wifi only. As it is a 64b ipad, I think the photos she will take with the iphone could be easily downloaded to the ipad when the 16gb iphone gets to the limit.
Is there a way to connect the ipad1 old connector to the new iphone5 new connector or would I just connect the two for picture transfer using BluTooth or wifi?
Is there anything else I might consider?
PS- I probably won't make the move until after CES so I'm in no rush.

Yes, I know Verizon allows tethering now for share everything plan and have been using that on my ipad3 when I travel. It also extended to my Thunderbolt which Verizon used to charge a ton of money $29.95 a month for tethering on top of data charge. Glad that went away. Thanks for the info on ios6 as allowing LTE facetime now. I knew that Apple only had FT for wifi before.
So the conclusion is, for now, that my daughter may have the toughest time using facetime on her AT&T iphone 4s unless she is at home and connects via her home wifi. I'm not sure how she does that. Her one brother in law is an Apple certified whatever but when I asked him these questions he wasn't much help. You guys were more help!
He did set up her iphone, though. I know here at the house, my ipad3 connects to wifi until I take it away from the house and then it uses the LTE or 3G connection. Having both turned on does suck down the battery faster. Lately, Verizon's coverage of LTE is so widespread here that it is rare to see 3G in our travels around the state.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.

Yup, I agree, I'd rather be 2 or 3 till the last few weeks.They get cruel sometimes, very very cruel.
Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
