Cell phones are everywhere. Everyone has one or so it seems. Some people even have multiples. Carriers advertise attractive plans and promise the best networks, companies advertise the latest and most high tech phone technologies on the market. Lots of bling, rings and things can make buying a cell phone confusing to say the least. So how to cut through all the talk and determine which one is right for you. Consider your requirements:

How will you use the phone?

-Emergency use only. You just need the basics.

-Heavy usage, daily or almost constant use. Battery life can be important.

-Occasional. Take it with you but not attached to it or it to you.

-Family. Stay in touch with parents and children.

Make a list of your NEEDS:

-Coverage. Regional, national, or international, satellite.

-Contracts or pre-paid.

-Walkie-talkie type capability. Keep in touch with family, teams, co-workers, individuals or groups with the push of a button walkie-talkie style.

Make a list of your WANTS:

Style – Flip or clam shell, candy bar, slide or swivel and dual face design. A flip can be convenient as it is small and the flip feature provides protection for the keypad and screen and when open is large enough to cradle. The candy bar style is simple and quick to use while the swivel and slider phones are cool to use and can offer the protection features of a flip. The dual face is just that one face is the phone and the opposite face is for video, music etc.

Color and size – Pink, red, copper, silver, black, yellow – thick or thin, short or longer, large screen

Options – Into high tech? Then a phone on the cutting edge is for you. With a built-in Camera-always on hand you can delete, store or send your latest shots and video shots. Use your favorite pic as background. Music MP3, internet capabilities keep you in touch with email and web browsing, touch screen, keyboard, GPS etc.

Emergency use only. Most likely it will be stored in a compartment in your vehicle or on your person when you leave home but not used for casual convenience. Keep it simple.

Students and Children enjoy and you may too, many of the features offered other than simply talking verbally on the cell phone. To text message between friends is almost essential today. Some carriers now have television viewing capability. This can be a wonderful way to keep a child entertained instead of asking “are we there yet?” or “when are we going?” You get the picture.

Hands-free head sets. Choose what style best fits your needs: ear bud (wired or Bluetooth), boom style headset with a microphone at mouth position, installed or portable car kits that allow for conversation through the car stereo or external plug-in speaker. These portable kits are also available with Bluetooth technology.

Durability and reliability are important issues. Read reviews and ask friends about their experiences. Do your homework.

As a final note, read the fine print, understand what you are buying and ask questions. Know the law in your area, when where and how can you legally use a wireless device. Many states require hands-free use while driving.

One of the most important (if not the most important) benefit of a job is the salary. The salary you earn is very important – it’s how you pay your bills and support yourself and your family. When looking for a new job you’ll often have a number in your head that you want to earn. It doesn’t matter if this is an hourly rate or annual salary; it is very important to remain flexible when considering a salary offer for the following reason – you don’t know how much this new position is going to cost you.

Think about it for just a minute. There is a financial cost associated with any job. Many factors play a role in the out of pocket expenses a job will cost you. Many times a potential employer is not going to disclose to you the costs associated with benefits sooner than the offer phase. For this reason it’s critical not to throw out a number too early in the interview process because you just don’t know how much you’ll need to actually make to bring home your desired salary.

So what expenses are associated with a job? Some of them are obvious. Take health insurance, for example. Depending on the size of the company or the insurance carrier selected there can be considerable differences in cost. For example: your current employer requires an out of pocket payment from you of $200 a pay period. The new employer requires $100 a pay period. We’ll assume there are the same number of pays per year. If you’re paid bi-weekly that’s a difference of $2,600 per year in your pocket (before taxes).

What about the accepted dress code of the company, either official or unofficial? If you’re coming from a company where it’s casual dress every day and you’re going to one where suits are the norm you might have to put out several hundred dollars to obtain the necessary wardrobe.

How is the commute? If you’re commuting a long distance now and the new company is just a few minutes away you’re going to save money on gas and automobile maintenance (if you drive) or possibly in public transportation costs.

Are you required to work overtime hours? You might be paid for overtime at your current company, but you new employer might not pay you for overtime. Maybe one job requires you to be “on call” after hours (unpaid) while the other position doesn’t have this requirement. Figure out the actual number of hours you work now or will be required to work in the new position, divided by your annual salary to get a true hourly rate in order to compare the two jobs. If your current employer requires five hours a week of unpaid overtime and the new employer does not have any overtime, on paper a lateral salary move would be in fact a raise based on what you are paid per hour.

Other considerations to include in your comparison include 401(k) contribution, tuition reimbursement, company paid professional registrations and membership, parking, on-site health clubs, vacation and personal days, company provided cell phone and/or laptop, flexible schedules, on-site daycare, pre-tax spending accounts, paid training, and the ability to telecommute. While you might not be able to associate a financial cost with these items, something as simple as a flexible schedule might be more important to you than an extra $1.50 per hour.

Once you are able to determine the out of pocket expenses for both the new company and your current company you can come up with a figure that will allow you to cover your out of pocket expenses while bringing home the salary you desire.

Analog phones operate on an older and less effective technology. This technology doesn’t scale well and is more costly. Analog service is not compatible with numerous new features.

Digital phones support new features like caller ID, text messaging or wireless internet services.

2. What is a Dual Band Phone?

A Dual band phone is a phone that can operate on an analog and digital service.

3. What type of battery has the longest life?

Lithium-Ion or Li-Ion batteries have the longest life. They also happen to be the lightest in weight. The two pluses means there is minus attached, which is price. A li-ion battery will always be the most expensive type of battery available.

4. What’s the difference between the Stand-by time and Talk time?

Your phone is in standby mode when your phone is on but you aren’t talking. The power consumption is minimal and the phone can stay in this mode for a longer period of time. When you are using the phone you are using talk time. This consumes battery power at a much quicker rate. Your battery life will be somewhere between talk time and standby time

5. What is a roaming charge?

A roaming charge is when you make a call from outside of your calling area. Your calling area is defined by plan local, regional or national.

6. What are peak and off peak hours?

Peak hours are during the day when the cellular networks are very busy. These minutes are at premium and your plan will typically include the smallest amount of these. If you use more than your allotted peak minutes they will be billed at a much higher rate than off peak minutes. Off peak is the exact opposite of peak time. Each cellular provider has their own definition of off peak.

7. What are anytime minutes?

Anytime minutes are simply put minutes you can use anytime, peak or off peak. On most plans you will use anytime minutes first.

8. Do I pay for the call when someone calls me?

Usually yes. You are billed for the airtime when you receive a call. However some service providers are offering unlimited in network calls.

9. Should I buy a cell phone or look for a free cellular phone?

Free phones generally speaking don’t have the latest features, they are anywhere from 6 to 12 months behind. Also, free cell phones generally come with longer contracts. But, it is still possible to get a great deal on a free cell phone.

10. What to do if you want to upgrade/downgrade or cancel your service plan?

You can usually upgrade to higher plan without any cost. Some may force you to extend your contract for 1 to 2 years from that point. Downgrading your plan is often times not an option and when it is there is usually a penalty or fine.

No doubt, the cell phones are more popular as compared to the landline services but still the landline phones have an edge over mobile phones in a few aspects. The landline or the fixed line telephone travel through a solid medium which can either be a metal wire or the optical fibre.

The advantages with a landline services are that it costs less and have a better voice quality. In addition to this, it can be used where mobile phones can’t be used and can increase the security of communications that can’t be intercepted by a receiver without the physical line access.

Almost all the major cable companies supply the landlines in the UK. Some of the major landlines providers are Talk Talk, BT, NTL, Telecom Plus, Telewest, cable and wireless, world online and Alpha telecom .You have to pay line rentals and the call charges to such companies. There is a plan called ‘wholesale line rental’ with which you can switch to a new landline supplier. The switching will not involve any work with the phone line and you can also keep the existing number.

The UK landline suppliers often offer special deals for certain services and products like calls to mobile phones, long-distance calls or deals combining a landline with the cable TV and the internet access.

There are various comparison sites on the Internet which can provide you the information regarding the price and the plans for the landline services providers. However, before going for any deals you should prioritise your needs and then look for the deal which can suit your needs in the best possible way.

and you’ll never have to search for a phone number or email
address again! Store it once and forget about it! For those
individuals who are constantly travelling and on the road or in
the sky, a PDA mobile phone makes sense. It’s the perfect gift
and travel companion! Sometimes, it can be difficult to take a
break from your day to find an Internet café or office that will
allow you to connect and check your email and important
messages. Now, imagine being able to access your information
from anywhere in the world! You could be having dinner, in a
car, or in between meetings, and you’ll never miss those
important messages ever again! It’s important to note, your PDA
cell phone contains the Internet, which will allow you to surf
the web. So, now you can book your hotel reservations, find a
phone number for a taxi, look for a restaurant in your area -
it’s all possible without having to exhaust other options! Sync
your phone with your laptop, and access your work, no matter
where you are. Access flight information with the touch of a
button! Get movie listings and find out where some of the best
attractions are when you’re visiting a new town. It’s obvious
that owning a PDA cell phone has its advantages. Remember, PDA
phones are extremely lightweight and portable. So much power for
such a tiny device – and to think, many phones will give you the
option to add more memory if you need it, for additional
storage! It’s also good to know that many companies will also
throw in extra cellular accessories, such as a headset, leather
case, belt clip or hand strap. These always come in handy to
protect and maintain the look of your equipment. They’re also
very suitable when on the road. Having a headset allows you to
use your phone while on the road keeping you safe as you drive
with both hands on the wheel! If you’re going to use your phone
on the road while driving, at least be safe! Be conscious of
yourself and the other drivers around you! It doesn’t stop
there! You can upgrade to a Bluetooth headset, or consider
buying an extra adapter, charger, or magnet mount antenna set.
You could also consider getting a starter kit that comes with
the essentials to make the most out of your PDA cellular phone.
One thing is for sure. The rave about PDA cell phones is
sweeping the nation. Stop and think for a moment. Many people
carry around more than one of the following – a cell phone, an
agenda or journal, a PDA system, a camera, an MP3 player. Well,
all you need is the PDA mobile! It will replace all of these
rather expensive items and provide for its consumers the
convenience of owning the best all-in-one device to ever hit the
market!
