at the same time?
能同时用?
-Uh, yeah. -Yeah. Okay, here,
-啊,是啊 -得嘞,好,这个
just hold this a second. Okay, so here’s your issue.
帮我拿一下啊,好的,你们的问题在这儿
When — when you use a phone as a client, what’s it doing?
当——当你把一部手♥机♥作为客户端联网的时候,它在干啥?
It’s just sitting on your network constantly asking
它就在你们的网络上没完没了的问
the same question: Did I get an email?

We engage with your network

maybe a split second, like…

那么多——多长——不好意思,多少——
A month’s worth of traffic would be less bandwidth
一个月的数据用量占的带宽不到
than a local phone call.
