[QUOTE="Dangerspouse, post: 780726, member: 46690"] I'm pretty sure this is gonna sound really dumb, but I'm throwing it out here anyway 'cause I figure it can't be any dumber than a lot of the other stuff I ask. I just got my first smart phone. I know nothing about it. I didn't even want it, but my wife, and now my work, both insist I have one. Since I drive to work at 3am, my wife doesn't want me to be without a way of calling for help if I break down along the way. And my work just started some 2-step authentication thing which requires us to answer a text message to get into our work stations. (I did have little flip phone, but it was only 3-G and they recently discontinued service for that many G's - something I learned very abruptly when I tried to call my wife last week. Plus, it didn't do texting so I would have had to replace it anyway for work. Sheesh.) So I went to the smart phone store and got a smart phone. They grandfathered in my old plan, which costs me 20-cents a day, plus 20 cents for every text message sent or received. So it's gonna cost me 40-cents a day Mon-Fri just to work. Bastards. But here's the catch: the phone is wi-fi only. The phone data service is turned off. Which is fine with me. I probably used my old phone 2 or 3 times a month at most, and I don't plan to use this one much more than that outside of work. Except.... I remembered that Nikon has a phone program called "SnapBridge". I went to their website and it looks pretty cool. Apparently you can take pictures with your camera and then look at them on your phone, which has a bigger screen than the back Live View screen. I can see that being an advantage sometimes. Is anyone here familiar with this program? Is it any good? And I guess my biggest question is: is this a wi-fi program, or does it rely on phone service data? If it's the latter, then this question is moot, since I wouldn't be able to use it anyway. But on the chance it's a wi-fi thing, I'm curious if it's a good thing to have. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
