#23Can I have no voicemail ? That's a feature I really want and it's not easy to do. If you configure a mobile phone line without voicemail, it will not just ring and ring and ring (as I hoped it would) - instead, the caller gets a message that "the number you have dialed is not accepting calls at this time" ... or some other message (depending on the carrier) that makes it sound like you don't pay your phonebill or som…
I think you can do this with Ting, but I am unable to verify at the moment.

#24Looks interesting, but perhaps 'stanleydrew' aka Andrew Benton could disclose that this is his company? https://charge.co/team http://benton.io
There's nothing wrong with submitting stories about your own company on HN. Extra-special disclosure of that is not a norm here.

#26Free (or, no premium) international roaming and wi-fi calling on T-Mobile are now essential features for me.
One thing I've always wished for was for my phone to have a routable IP address and not be behind NAT. A&A offers this in the UK: http://aaisp.net/telecoms-mobile-data.html

It's currently in the user profile.
I also think it's totally fine for people to post their own stuff without any sort of disclaimer.
Obviously they shouldn't post it repeatedly and obnoxiously and so on, but those are the problems, not being involved with the thing being posted.

#28I'd like to see cell plans targeted at remote "Internet of Things" usage. Say you have some sensor that you want to transmit X bytes back to the server every hour. Instead of paying for a bulk set of gigabytes you pay for the bandwidth and frequency you use the network.

Might be interesting for you. $2.99/month for 1MB, $0.99 for each additional MB. There is no information about billing unit though.

#29Funny to see them market themselves as a "phone company" as opposed to wireless service.
