Data Usage WarningBefore you start using Escarpod, check your data rates with your access provider. Many charge exorbitant fees, and downloading large files such as podcasts may force you to sell your house to pay the bills. We're not kidding! Many providers offer flat rate fees that allow you unlimited data for a more reasonable charge. If your phone supports it, using your own wireless LAN or Bluetooth PAN are great options. Escarpod allows you to specify a connection. ReleasesTo download binaries of Escarpod to use on your phone, visit our Downloads page.
