One more question, TMs still need a commlink for image feeds and messages from other mundanes correct?

They shouldn't. A tm should still be able to im and chat with people on their brainlinks.
They may want a way to save data, though. The easiest, in terms of cost and essence, is a Fingernail Datachip(arsenal 63), which as a plus is wi-fi enabled. A signal range of 0, encrpytion, and slaving it to your bionode pretty much solves that downside entirely. |

QUOTE (Raiden @ Jul 9 2013, 03:43 PM)  One more question, TMs still need a commlink for image feeds and messages from other mundanes correct? Conditional. The TM's biological PAN can call out, network, and everything like a commlink does, except save and store data. The catch is receiving calls. A Matrix Service Provider's system cannot identify a TM's biological PAN directly for connecting a call & messages. In short, you can call out but no one can call in.Now you can go cheap on a low end commlink and slave it to your biological PAN. A MSP can find said commlink and route calls to you that way. Reference Unwired, page 135 in general. Besides, you don't want to run without any commlinks in general. One random sweep that finds you have RF signals and you obviously don't have the hardware for it and you're made as a TM. Then there's the ability of being able to collect and spend nuyen; not everyone has readers for credsticks. |

Oh, that. No, you can do that straight away with your TM abilities.
