How Smart Is Your Mobile Phone?

Today we expect to have a phone that can go anywhere with us, bringing a level of safety and communication along as previous generations never would have believed possible. Our cellular or mobile telephone is like an appendage we can’t seem to live without. From a basic phone that gives users the opportunity to phone home or call emergency numbers to the “smart phones” that provide games, online shopping and surfing, and viewing movies or TV programs there is a phone just right for nearly everyone today. Kids can have their very own phone with their own number if parents OK it.

Cheap mobile phones are basic and disposable

Looking for a basic phone that you can carry along in case of emergencies? Look no farther than the prepaid mobile that costs very little over a year’s time yet provides a means of calling locally or in emergency situations. The users of this little phone generally do not want to “gab” on the phone all day but rather just have a safety harness in case their car breaks down on the highway or they get lost in a strange town. When this phone runs out of minutes it can either be refilled or simply tossed out. The selection among mobile phones is amazing. Choose from a small one to a really small one that is ultra thin. Service providers usually carry a wide variety of name brands as well as some low end models that save you money. The basic mobile phone makes calls as well as receives plus usually can be texted on and will store hundreds of numbers in your own “phone book”. Call forward and call waiting are normal functions you won’t need a “smart” phone to provide, so go for the basic unless you want one to ‘surf the net’ with.

Service plans make the difference in mobile phone priorities

You can get the latest and most expensive smart phone for free on some service plans. You will need to sign up for a one or two year contract and that means you are beholden to them and must remain with that plan for the allotted time but that’s often considered beneficial when it’s with the service provider of your choice. Choose a basic plan or add in family members affordably and share the minutes among your entire family and friends. Long distance need not be expensive any longer either because flat rates have brought the service down to match basic rates worldwide. Read the rest of this entry »

Using Your Mobile Phone When Driving

There has recently been a lot of press associated with the push to stop people using their mobile phones while driving. Even the press have joined the chorus, asking to have people classify their cars as ‘no-phone zones’. One celebrity has asked people to sign a pledge stating that they will not use their phone whilst driving. There are currently over 400,000 pledges signed and this is growing every day. Wow!

The accident statistics in America show that approximately 16,000 deaths between 2001 and 2007 were caused by drivers texting on their mobile phones. Pretty astounding figures. There have also been videos of people, including bus drivers, texting on their mobile phones whilst driving with passengers in the vehicle.

The risk of collision jumps 23 times if you are using a mobile phone whilst driving. If you have an accident whilst using your mobile phone you may also lose your car insurance privileges as your phone records can state that you were on the phone at the time of the accident.

The main offenders in this epidemic of mobile phone use while driving are young adults. This is no surprise, not so much because they find it almost impossible to resist the call of the mobile phone (as do most of us), but because they are very inexperienced drivers and have the impregnability of youth against them.
