That's intended, yes. Cell infrastructure sucks and very little people want it. Those who want enough to write software for it will experience how much it sucks slightly behind the surface and will probably not want it anymore.
cell infrastructure is nice in the states where everyone uses it and it is unlimited, unlike data usage, and reliable, also unlike data.
Define what you mean by "data usage"
it depends on the carrier, but generally anything that uses the internet other than voLTE to their own servers or MMS
I don't get the point of that reply.
the calling and texting is unlimited, but not "mobile data"
mf that's also cell infrastructure
