NPR Mobile Web
- Brings text, audio, and pictures directly to users through a Web site optimized for delivery to mobile phones and other mobile devices.
Requirements: Phone/PDA with a mobile Web browser and subscription to a data plan through your carrier
Cost: Neither NPR nor WITF charges for this service. Data usage charges depend on the calling/data plan you have with your carrier, and listening to audio via click-to-call links uses voice/calling plan minutes. Any SMS charges are at your standard text messaging rate.
- Allows listeners to make a simple phone call, access a menu of listening choices including NPR and NPR station programming, and listen to the audio from any phone (landline or mobile).
Requirements: Any mobile device that can make phone calls (including land line phones).
Cost: Neither NPR nor WITF charges for this service. Your carrier will count minutes used against your monthly voice/calling plan minutes.
