WiFi vs 3G

Why would you use your smartphone when you travel? Seriously you can get free Wi-Fi virtually anywhere, right?

Sure, Wi-Fi is easy to find in the USA. You can get it anywhere you shop, most places that you stay, and even by searching for open Wi-Fi networks in residential areas. Despite the fact that most of people know that Wi-Fi is not truly enough for all over use, people still plan for it when they travel.

When using Wi-Fi only, you are not available when people need you. There is a myriad of VOIP options when trying to call back home over Wi-Fi but none of them are anywhere close to good. The majority of them still have issues with calls cutting out, quality being unsatisfactory, and electronic sounds when speaking.
