<a name="should_not"><H4>Who should NOT install this app?</h4></a>
|
|
|
|
<p>Only people with unlimited text messaging plans should install cWords-SMS.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Do the math: The typical cWords-SMS game will mean 40 SMS messages
|
|
sent and another 40 received. (They'll be sent directly between the cWords-SMS on the
|
|
two devices, so you'll never see them!) Let's say your carrier charges you $0.25 for
|
|
each of the 80 messages, a figure at the low end these days. You'll get charged $20 for
|
|
a single game. Imagine you play a game every day for a month: $600!</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Just don't do it! Stick with Crosswords, which uses your data plan,
|
|
unless you have unlimited SMS.</p>

<a name="advantages"><h4>What are the advantages of playing via SMS instead of the internet?</h4></a>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Uses less battery: SMS messages take less power to send and receive than network data.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Better responsiveness: unless an app maintains a constant
|
|
connection to a server (which would make it a huge battery hog) it
|
|
will usually receive SMS messages more quickly than other types of
|
|
data. So you'll see a move right after your opponent makes it.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Doesn't use your data plan (but per-message costs will kill you
|
|
if you don't have unlimited texting!)</li>
