How do wireless companies know when you are using a Smartphone?
My husband gave me his old phone — a Smartphone. I have a very basic plan, but I liked the QWERTY keyboard and GPS. Somehow our wireless provider "knew" that I switched to a Smartphone and automatically billed me more for a data plan. How did they know? I assume the phone sends out some kind of signal. Do "quick messaging" phones (like the LG neon) do the same thing? Thanks
