Prepaid Cell Phones Around the World

So far I have managed to cover a lot of things on prepaid mobile phones and cell phones plan available around the world. I have also covered few things on where to find the right information or the right tools to be used with your mobile phones. If I have the time, I would have write more things on prepaid mobile phones. I am planning to write on cell phone service providers available in the US as well mobile phone service providers in the UK. I will be writing some reviews on these phone carriers so that can actually help you to decide which one to be subscribed to.

I’m going to recap what I have done in the past in this latest post about prepaid mobile phones around the world. This is to help you guys wander around in my small phone blog. Please excuse my English as one of the main reasons I set this blog up is to improve my English writings. I have started writing and maintaining this blog since February last year and since this blog is almost a year old now (happy birthday!), I think it will be great to make this post so it can be your reference.

My first post is about Mymode prepaid business which can be ventured into by any individual without even have to setup a company. You can reach go here at Make Money From Selling Mymode Prepaid. In fact, all of my posts in February are all about Mymode and the explanation on what the business is all about.

If you are interested in making money from selling prepaid cards in Malaysia, then it is best to go this post at Make Money Selling Prepaid Cards. I have explained in details on how to register for Mymode and how to do the business.

On September 15th, I have written a post on Mymode Prepaid Business review. In this post I have revealed few things about Mymode business that you all should know but they are not revealed by any Mymode agents so far.

If you are already a Mymode agent, then I recommend you to check out this post on Guidelines for New Mymode Members. I have provided guidelines and some FAQ about Mymode.

If you are looking for information about Maxis Hotlink, then perhaps Maxis Hotlink Prepaid post would be a great post to check out. You can also check out this post on how to stop using Maxis Hotlink Caller Ringtones. If you need to know on how to share your credit, you can check it out here at Sharing Maxis Hotlink Credit.

My first article on prepaid mobile phones covered few advantages of using it. You may take a look at it here at Prepaid Mobile Phones. There is also an article where I reasoned why you should switch to prepaid plan. You can also check out another article on wireless prepaid mobile phone plans.

Can you switch your T-Mobile phone and still have the same prepaid plan? You can check out that article for more information. If you need to find out your T-Mobile coverage, you can go to that post to know which tool to be used. You can also learn How to Check Your Airtime Balance here. If you need to know whether your T-Mobile prepaid mobile phone can be configured for MMS or not, you can check it at a full list here at Settings for T-Mobile Cell Phones.

I have also done a review on Nokia N96 Prepaid Mobile Phone. Apart from that, I have done a review on Vodafone mobile phones.

Would you like to call up India from your country using your prepaid mobile phone? Then you may check out this article at Call India From Your Cell Phones.

My online friend has graciously introduced me to Argos Online SuperStore. You can check out this post to get more information on mobile phones at Argos Online Superstore.

I have also covered some facts about Celcom Powertools which is a cell phone service for small businesses and also suitable for medium-size businesses.

Ok, if you like freebies, then Orange has something great for you (but make sure you have a cell phone first!). You can get free sim card from Orange. You can also check out this article if you are looking for a dual sim card cell phone that can be used for two different SIM cards.

I have also covered on mobile phones offered by T-Mobile UK. Not a comprehensive one but still a good reference. I will always revisited the article from time to time to update it.

And well, if you have any trouble setting up your e-mail for your T-Mobile cell phones, you may like to visit my article here at Email Setup for T-Mobile Cell Phones.

I have some interests in posting one or two articles on good cell phone for kids with prepaid plans. However I don't have the time yet LOL. I will certainly do some research first before I can come up with best cell phones for kids. For the moment, you can read my friend's articles at Cell Phone for Kids (sidebar link).

The technology is advancing at a twilight speed but that does not mean we have to forget those in needs like our senior citizens. They are not as fast as the young adults and some of them have troubles with hearing and movements. I have found few places on the web describing about cell phones for senior citizens. I think cell for seniors are a good initiative towards assisting the senior citizens since they need bigger keypad and bigger display screen for the cell phones.

I have managed to list down few of prepaid cell phone stores in California and New York. If you live in San Francisco, you might be more interested to look up for cell phone stores in California. However, the post is not for New York residents, so you guys can check out for the post at Cell Phone Stores in New York.

E-Mail Setup for Your T-Mobile Phones

Previously I have guided you all on how to setup Yahoo Email on your T-Mobile phones directly from the mobile itself. About three hours after I posted it, I have been receiving emails on how to setup other e-mails into T-Mobile phones. For your information, I’m currently working on figuring out how to set them up and I’ll try to answer each email accordingly. In the meantime, I have managed to get my hands on how to setup email for your T-Mobile phone for few email services; AOL, Comcast, AT&T, and other email services as well.

I have to go really quick on this one so I have compiled them into one post to save some time. Therefore please look back at my example of the ID and password to be used in my previous post; prepaidmobilephone123 is the username/ID and password is m081LeP40n3. In all of my examples below, I will use these login information just for your own reference. If you do have any question on how to setup your t-mobile phones for emails, then please leave your comments here or just email me. Allow me some time to dig into my emails as I have thousands of them at these time including unwanted emails. Once I found yours, I will try to answer your question in the best manner as I can.

For the comfort of reading, You can just click on any of these links to bring you straight to where you would like to read:

How to Setup Comcast POP3 email for your T-Mobile Phones

We’ll first go to setting up the incoming messages or emails for your Comcast account. As usual, enter your Comcast email’s username without entering the @comcast.net. In other words, instead of putting prepaidmobilephone123@comcast.net, you have to just enter “prepaidmobilephone123”. Later, put in your case-sensitive email password which is in our case here, m081LeP40n3. Change the POP3 server to “mail.comcast.net” (without the quotes, of course) and then change the port to “995”. When you see the security type, change the setting to “SSL always”.

That's it for setting up the incoming Comcast emails.

Next we have to configure the outgoing Comcast email settings for your T-Mobile Dash phones. You may have to change the SMTP server to “smtp.comcast.net” and then change the port to “465”. Again, change the security type to “SSL always” and checked the box for “Require sign-in”. Then enter again your email login details where the username should be “prepaidmobilephone123” without the @comcast.net and the case-sensitive password should be “m081LeP40n3”.

Congratulations! You have just configured your T-Mobile phone to be able to receive and send Comcast emails. (back to top)

How to Setup AT&T email for your T-Mobile Phones

To setup your AT&T POP3 account in your T-Mobile phones, you should first setup the incoming emails settings by putting your AT&T username. This time you have to enter the username including the @att.net, therefore it should like this – prepaidmobilephone123@att.net. The password should be entered correctly since it is case-sensitive like this - m081LeP40n3. After that please change the POP3 server to “fpostoffice.isp.att.net” and then change the incoming port to “995”. If you see security type settings, change it to “SSL always”.

Once you have setup the incoming settings, go and setup the AT&T outgoing email settings. Enter the SMTP server as “fmailhost.isp.att.net” and then change the outgoing port to “465”. Again you have to change the security type to “SSL always”. Whenever you see “Require sign-in”, check the username or just enter your full username to prepaidmobilephone123@att.net. Finally enter your password (remember, it is case-sensitive) such as m081LeP40n3. (back to top)

How to Setup AOL or AIM email for your T-Mobile Phones

As usual we have to first setup the incoming AOL email settings by entering your username into the field. In this case, your username should be your screen name, for example, “prepaidmobilephone123”. Enter your case-sensitive password and then change the POP3 server to “pop.aol.com” (if your email is prepaidmobilephone123@aol.com) or enter “pop.aim.com” (if your email is prepaidmobilephone123@aim.com ). Change the port to “110” and choose “none” for the security type.

To setup your outgoing AOL email or AIM email for your T-Mobile phones, you must first enter your screen name and the password. Change the SMTP server to “smtp.aol.com” or “smtp.aim.com”. later you have to change the outgoing port to “587”. Check the “Require sign-in” option and leave the security type to “none”. Then you are good to go to read AOL emails or AIM emails in your T-Mobile phones. (back to top)

How to Setup Optimum Online or CableVision POP3 Email for Your T-Mobile Phone

The username to be used should be “prepaidmobilephone123” instead of prepaidmobilephone123@optonline.net. Make sure then you enter your email password correctly as lower and upper case letters matter. Change the POP3 server to “mail.optonline.net” and incoming port to “110”. Later change the security type to “TLS”. To setup the OptimumOnline (OOL) outgoing emails, enter again your username and password and change the SMTP server to “mail.optonline.net”. change the outgoing port to “587”, check the “Require sign-in” option and choose “none” for the security type.

In my next post I will try to guide you on how to setup Hotmail email account in your T-Mobile Phone. There’s a workaround to be done since T-Mobile does not support Hotmail or MSN and what’s more, free Hotmail email does not support POP3. We will discuss on how to let that possible; to receive and send Hotmail emails from your T-Mobile phone. (back to top)

Yahoo Email Setup for T-Mobile Phones

In this post we are going to completely cover on how to setup yahoo email for your T-Mobile phones directly from your T-Mobile phone. I have received a lot of emails inquiring about the same thing therefore I figure out that it is best if I post a whole post in setting your incoming and outgoing yahoo emails on your T-Mobile phones. Depending on your mobile phones, the setting might differ here and there but if you do have any concern with setting up your email, please contact me or leave your comment for further assistance. I’ll try my best to find out how to assist you.

First of all before you can change the configuration to receive or send Yahoo email from your tmobile phone would be to first sign up for Yahoo email. It might sound funny to you but some people are just too eager to setup email account on their T-Mobile phones that they forgot that they don’t have an account with Yahoo yet in the first place. I don’t blame them since these days most new mobile phones have been equipped with the technology to send and receive emails and due to the fact that it is easy to set them up on the mobile phone, no one can resist the temptation to experience the tech on their own.

It might be useful as well if you setup a different Yahoo email account dedicated just for your T-Mobile phones. This is to avoid from downloading existing emails in your account that could sometime take forever. When you download bulk of existing emails, it will also consume a bit of your airtime, so please make a wise decision on this. Setting up a new yahoo email account is not that difficult and we are going to start from that point.

Ok let’s move on.

Registering for Yahoo Email Account

When you go to Yahoo homepage, look for a section that starts with “Check your mail status:”. There are supposed to be two links there; one is “Sign in” which is for existing users and another one is “Sign Up”. Click on the Sign Up link. The next page should be a form where you have to enter your personal details as follows:

1. Tell us about yourself… - this is where you enter your first and last name, your gender, your birthdates, where you live and your residential zip code or postal code. Don’t worry, if you do not feel like sharing your real information, you may make up a fake one to just to protect your online privacy.

2. Select an ID and password – this is where you choose your desired login name or ID which will then be your email address. You can also choose from three different email domains; regular @yahoo.com, @ymail.com, or @rocketmail.com. There is a “Check” button where you can check whether someone else has chosen the login name. This is also where you enter your own unique case-sensitive password. Keep in mind that you should use at least six characters for the password and try to make it as a combination of numbers and letters. Use special characters or symbol if possible. Since it is case-sensitive, you can also mix both lower and upper case. The more unique your password is, the more secure it will be and the harder it is to be cracked.

3. In case you forget your ID or password… - if you have another email address, you can enter it here. This is for the purpose of sending you a password reminder to another email in case you forget your password. Just leave the field blank if you don’t have any and proceed with setting up your security question.

4. Just a couple of more details… - Yahoo has installed this feature to avoid people from spamming or simply want to create fake registrations using auto form-filler application. Thanks to them, now you have to type the code shown on the page. There will also be a radio check box where you have to tick it to confirm that you have read and agree to the Yahoo terms of service and Yahoo privacy policy. Oh yes, please ensure that you really read them..;-)

Once you are done, click on the “Create My Account” button and wait for a few seconds for your Yahoo email account to be setup. You should get a notification on the screen with the summary of your Yahoo email account. Click on the “Continue” button and that should bring you to your Yahoo email homepage.

For the purpose of this guide, let say the account you have setup is prepaidmobilephones123@yahoo.com and the password is m081LeP40n3.

Moving on swiftly…;-)

Configuration for Yahoo Email Account to be put into your T-Mobile Phone

We will first start with setting up the incoming email configuration for T-Mobile phone. The username should be your email address without putting in @yahoo.com. So it should be just prepaidmobilephones123 not prepaidmobilephones123@yahoo.com. Put in your password and make sure you put them exactly like how you entered them previously. In our case here, it should be m081LeP40n3. After that you have to change the IMAP server to “imap.mail.yahoo.com” (without the quotes, of course…). Change the port to “143” and then change the security type to TLS if the option is available. You may then have to set up the IMAP path prefix, but in our case here, you should just leave it blank where it should read as “Optional”. That concludes our incoming Yahoo email configuration for T-Mobile phone.

Now we should set up the outgoing Yahoo email settings for T-Mobile phone. Change the SMTP server to “smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com” and change the port to “25”. Again if the security type option is available, set it to “TLS”. There will be an option to be ticked or checked which is “require to sign-in”. Ensure that you check that option. There will also be fields to fill up for username and password. Again, put in your username “prepaidmobilephones123” without @yahoo.com and enter your case-sensitive password.

That should pretty much sum up on how to setup your Yahoo email account in your T-Mobile phone. I have also found out how to setup your Yahoo email in T-Mobile Wing mobile phone. Below are the steps on how to set it up. Setting up Yahoo email in T-Mobile Wing mobile phone is pretty much the same way but simpler and easier since the T-Mobile Wing has a significantly enhanced interface to help you set up your email accounts.

Steps to Perform to Set Up Yahoo Email in T-Mobile Wing mobile phone

On your mobile phone screen, go to Start>Programs>Set Up E-mail. Select Yahoo Mail and that should bring you to the Yahoo Terms Of Use. Tap on “I Agree” and you should get a page where you have type in your Yahoo ID (username) and password. In our case here, you should type in the email address in full, which is prepaidmobilephones123@yahoo.com and case-sensitive password m081LeP40n3. You can also check the “Save Password” option and then choose your Display Name. It can be anything but I have to remind you that the name you choose here will be displayed to the recipient. You may leave it blank so that your email address will appear on emails you send.

Clicking on the “Next” button should bring you the next page where you will receive a notification informing that the set up process has been completed and the mobile phone should attempt to download your email. Go ahead and click on the “Finish” button to be taken to your Yahoo email inbox.

In my next post, I will guide you on how to set up other e-mail accounts on your T-Mobile phones such as Gmail email account, Outlook email account, AOL or AIM email account, Comcast email accounts, and as well as other email accounts. Trust me, it is easy to set up your email accounts on your T-Mobile phones and we will cover on how to set them up and configure them correctly into your T-Mobile phones.

T Mobile UK Mobile Phones

After so long writing about the advantages of using pay as you go mobile phones I have finally come to a conclusion that it is actually up to individual to decide whether they want to use the usual contract mobile phone plan or pay as you go mobile phone plan. Depending on what your priorities are, I assume that most of the time you will always put your spending budget first to consider on which mobile phone plan you would like to subscribe to. If you have a restricted budget and if you are one of those who don’t spend much time talking on the phone, then I believe the best mobile phone plan would be prepaid plan. If you think that you can stretch the budget a little bit or if you love spending time talking on the mobile phone, then the best plan to be used is contract-based mobile phone plan.

Spending too much money on mobile phone usage might not be the right thing to do these days due to the economic downturn. Many have actually realized about this issue and many have actually taken action on preventing excessive usage of mobile phones. Some have also taken it to next level by shopping for cheap mobile phones. According to Nokia who has recently announced its net profit, people in China have obviously shown that attitude when the Nokia mobile phones sales in the country have dropped significantly.

In the United States and the United Kingdom, mobile phones are still popular. Mobile phone manufacturers such as Apple and Nokia have managed to maintain the sales of their respective mobile phones, Apple iPhone and N-series, across both countries. Though Apple iPhone has received a lot of critics due to its ‘underrated’ capabilities compared to other mobile phone devices, the sales has continued to increased from time to time.

Mobile phone carriers on the other hand continue to show their dedication to provide great service to their clients. They have managed to come up with a lot of packages that are dedicatedly designed to match the needs of their clients. T-Mobile in the UK, for instance, has come up with numerous packages that are worth to be considered. Therefore today we are going to take a quick look at all the packages I have managed to gather here for your reference. Keep in mind though that this time I’ll be talking about contract-based mobile phones from T-Mobile.

If you are a UK resident, then I am pretty sure that you have already known the fact that all pay-monthly or post-pay mobile phones are subject to network credit approval and a minimum of twelve months rental being paid. Same thing applies to T-Mobile pay as you go mobile phones plans. T-Mobile has a good reputation in the UK of providing great mobile phone packages including pay as you go mobile phone plans. I will try my best to compare few mobile phones that are offered together with the plan. However, it’s going to take an epic to write all of those phone plans. Therefore I’ll post this one about t mobile UK mobile phones whenever I have finished reviewing one phone plan and from there I’ll update the post from time to time.

Let’s take a look at one of the t mobile contract mobile phone plan that offers a Nokia 6500 Classic mobile phone. This Nokia 6500 Classic mobile phone is stylish, light and bursting with fun features and can definitely sweep you off your feet. If I were now talking about pay as you go plan, I will definitely suggest you to take the pay as you go plan from the Carphone Warehouse as the mobile phones come in three different colours; Black, Bronze, or Silver.

Philips Mobile Phones

When camera has been integrated into a mobile phone, everyone flocked into mobile phone stores and purchased the device. Unfortunately when the technology was first introduced, it was just a test to see how the market is going to accept this technology. In other words, the first camera mobile phone was not that impressive altogether. However, the mobile phone technology has rapidly improved since then. More and more mobile phone manufacturers are producing camera mobile phones. The industry keeps on blooming with various types of mobile phones but most of them will always include camera as one of the great features integrated into the mobile phone.

One of the mobile phone manufacturers is Philips which is actually one of the largest electronics companies in the world. Philips was originally founded in the Netherlands in 1891 and has managed to dominate at least 20% to 30% of the electronic devices market. Starting with light bulbs and other electronic technical equipment, Philips has developed remarkably and has since then produced many types of electronic products such as Philips vacuum cleaner, Philips audio compact cassette (one of its famous products), and also world’s first Philips home video cassette recorder.

Apart from those products, Philips had successfully introduced many other products such as Philips laser disc player, Philips Compact Disc (partnership with Sony), Philips Super Audio CD (also partnership with Sony), Philips Senseo coffeemaker, Philips Mirror TV, Philips Blue-Ray Disc (again partnership with Sony), and also Philips flatscreen with WOW VX technology. For your information, Philips is receiving a royalty on every single DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) created. If I could just create something like this, or maybe like Sheri Schmelzer who created decorative attachments for the holes in Crocs shoes, I would be happily travelling around the world and brought with me a satellite mobile phone. What a way to make money streaming into your bank accounts endlessly eh?

The Philips Company has also widened its products by venturing into mobile phone business under one of its wings, Philips Consumer Products. So today we are going to take some time to check out how well Philips mobile phones are and how well does the product penetrate the mobile industry. I won’t be discussing on each one of Philips mobile phones. I have nicely selected few mobile phones from Philips ranging from camera mobile phones, standard first generation mobile phones, 3G mobile phones, and also internet enabled mobile phones.
I have to remind you though that I am going to discuss about Philips mobile phones, sometimes I tend to talk about other things. I love to give away information related to mobile phones, and that includes their accessories as well. I will try my best to summarize what does a term mean, such as “MiniSD”, “MP3”, and so on.

All right, let’s take a look at one of Philips candy-bar type mobile phones, Philips Xenium 9A9t. Philips Xenium 9A9t mobile phone comes in two colors; black and silver color mobile phone. It has other siblings like Philips Xenium 9a9d and Philips Xenium 9a9a. The mobile phone supports both GPRS network and GSM network including 900, 1800, and 1900 bands. If you have a chance to see this mobile phone, you would be surprised that the mobile phone is not that attractive in terms of its looks. I guess this "mobile phone" is sorry to say , one of Philips’ ugly mobile phones. The mobile phone however is more than good enough for those who really not into mobile phones and gadgets.

The Philips Xenium 9A9t mobile phone’s main display is a color STN (what the heck does STN mean?) touchscreen. Color STN display basically means each pixel of it is made up of 3 separate colored pixels of red, green, and blue where each of these colors are controlled individually by the graphic controller chip. In other words, a 320 by 240 pixel color STN display actually contains 960 by 240 individually colored pixels giving the image displayed on it to be better in clarity and quality. Well with this mobile phone from Philips, the resolution is 128 by 160 pixels, therefore it is actually displaying 384 by 480 individually colored pixels. I can assure you that image displayed on Philips Xenium 9A9t mobile phone is quite clear but don’t expect too much from such a tiny screen LOL.

The Philips Xenium 9A9t mobile phone is equipped with 20MB of internal memory where you can use it to store your mobile phone ringtones, MP3s, photos, and other media files. Thanks to Philips, the Philips Xenium 9A9t mobile phone also supports external memory card. You can use a MiniSD memory card to increase the mobile phone’s memory capacity.

Do you know what MiniSD is?

MiniSD card is a tiny form factor removable and portable memory device. It was created (introduced by SanDisk Corporation) purposely to be used in cell phones, digital cameras, MP3 players, and many other gadgets. Currently the MiniSD card is produced in capacities ranging from 16MB to 8GB. There is another variation made which is MiniSDHC card where its memory capacity ranging from 4GB to 6GB. The MiniSDHC card however can only be used if the device such as mobile phone has a HC support built in into it. Don't confuse this MiniSD card with your usual SIM card though they share about the same size. There is also another type of mobile phone which is dual sim card mobile phone.

Okay, let’s go back to our discussion on Philips Xenium 9A9t mobile phone. The mobile phone comes with 1.3 megapixels camera built in into the mobile phone where the resolution of the pictures taken by this mobile phone can be set up to 1280 by 1024 pixels. Evaluating from its price, it is not a surprise when I found out that there is no digital zooming or optical zooming though as well as auto focus feature. There is no flash as well. Though the mobile phone is lack of these features, the Philips Xenium 9a9t mobile phone still can be used for recording videos.

Apart from sending text messages and MMS (Multimedia Messaging System), the Philips Xenium 9a9t mobile phone has also enabled a feature where you can send e-mails. T9 text function has been integrated as well. However, the Philips Xenium 9a9t is not an internet enabled mobile phone. So you can’t surf the net with this mobile phone. The Philips Xenium 9a9t mobile phone is Java enabled (hooray! You can play Java games with this mobile phone!) and since it has touchscreen display, Philips has nicely add another great feature which is handwriting recognition. Oh yes, the mobile phone only weighs about 85 grams (3 ounce), so it is quite light, don’t you think so?

Unfortunately, the mobile phone does not support Bluetooth technology let alone Wi-Fi connectivity. Wi-Fi is actually a certification, trademark of the Wi-Fi alliance based on the IEEE 802.11 standards called Wireless LAN (WLAN) which warrants interoperability between different wireless devices. Fortunately, the mobile phone has a USB port so you can connect the mobile phone to other devices such as your PC to download or upload your media files.

Enough said about Philips Xenium 9a9t mobile phone. I am actually so excited to make a review of one mobile phone from Philips which is Philips 588 mobile phone. The Philips 588 mobile phone is a clamshell form factor device and it comes with three different colors; black, purple, and white. Just like Philips Xenium 9a9t mobile phone, Philips 588 also supports both GPRS and GSM network.

I apologize that I have to stop here for a while. Something came up. I'll be back and add more things here...;-)

Dual SIM Card Phones

Unleashing the Power Behind Using a Dual SIM Card Phone

Lately I have been very busy doing some research on mobile phones and I am actually impressed with a lot of new things coming up these days. I just don’t have enough time to catch up with all these new information thus I must apologize if I anything I have posted so far has become obsolete. However, I believe that there are still many of us who are not really into mobile phones and news about mobile phones only matters when you are looking to purchase one. I welcome you to this small mobile phone blog and if you do have any doubt, please do not hesitate to contact me or you can just leave your comment in any post.

I have managed to get my hands on few great news on latest development in mobile phones and I am planning to post them into several posts. This time however, I find it amusing and I just can’t help to discuss a bit on dual SIM card mobile phones. I am pretty sure many of you have no idea at all what does it mean by dual SIM card mobile phones. Some of you might even wonder what could be done with a dual sim card phone. I prefer to take you guys to a little walk by introducing this mobile phone which has this unique feature in order to unleash the power behind using a dual sim card phone.


Dual sim phone is becoming more common in the market as more mobile phone manufacturers produced this type of mobile phone. However, due to the fact that a dual sim card mobile phone has the capability to hold up two different SIM cards, they are usually medium to large mobile phones packed with every single feature you can think of. Therefore it is hard to get people to buy a bulky-sized mobile phonoe these days as people feel that mobile phone is supposed to be trendy and as its name implies, it is supposed to be “mobile” and easy to bring along with anywhere we go. This mobile phone however, the eTouch D6 dual sim card mobile phone, has come up with its D6 which may be one of the smallest dual SIM card phones you can get your hands on.


As I have previously mentioned, the mobile phone supports two SIM cards both of which are on concurrent standby. At its size, you'd think that the eTouch D6 mobile phone would only be able to hold up a single SIM but the mobile phone eTouch D6 has managed to fit dual SIM card functionality into the mobile phone which I found quite interesting. As such you'll get two lines on simultaneously and all in a single mobile phone.


The eTouch D6 dual sim card mobile phone is one handsome mobile device. At first glance you'd probably notice that the metallic strip that runs along both sides of the front panel. This isn't just for decoration though as there are colorful LED lights that runs along the strips when you turn on the mobile phone and while you play MP3s. Of course, as much as I enjoy the lights, I have to warn you though about the speakers. When you switch the mobile phone on, there is this loud intro music that blares out, and I couldn't find any way to lower its volume. So just be sure not to turn on or off your mobile phone if you're in a quiet area or private area, unless you want to be embarrassed.


The dual sim card mobile phone feels smooth and it is really comfortable to be held. It is the rounded curve edges of the mobile phone that is the main contribution to this comfort and to its good looks. It has a simple 12 key keypad design with large keys so there should be no problems for those who have chubbier fingers.


The mobile phone sports a rather small display as the keypad takes up most of the space on the mobile phone. Astonishingly, even though the display is rather small, its 60 5K TFT screen is also a touchscreen display. Normally a mobile phone this size doesn't come with a touchscreen display but it seems that this mobile phone found it prudent to implement touchscreen functions on the D6. As small as the screen was, I found out it was more convenient to scroll using the touch function rather than to use the D-pad.


As I stated before, the eTouch D6 mobile phone comes with some pretty loud speakers. So, to do justice to them, the mobile phone does not only come with an MP3 player but supports an FM radio too. The best thing about the FM radio is that it does not require you to plug in the headsets to get it to work.


When music is played with this dual sim mobile phone, you won't only get colorful dancing lights but the maximum volume of these speakers can be shared to everyone in the regular sized room. Of course you might also irritate some people in the train or bus if you try blaring them out loud in the said transports. It sports a VGA camera that has all the regular functions such as white balance, scene mode and effects.


The eTouch D6 mobile phone is the smallest dual SIM mobile phone you will be able to get your hands on at the moment and surprisingly at quite a reasonable price. With a loud set of speakers, basic multimedia functions, the mobile phone is a pretty good basic and stylish mobile phone with touchscreen to boot. The only thing that you would need to look out for is the microSD card as there is no internal memory in the mobile phone for your multimedia files.

Having a dual sim card phone is beneficial to you especially when you are a businessman and communication is something that is crucial to you. If you think that separating business calls and social calls, then maybe using a dual sim card phone is the ultimate solution. You can find out more about dual sim card phone at this site.

Long Distance Phone Calls

Long time ago Skype had made a breakthrough in turning our computer to a phone (kind of) where we can make long distance calls directly from our computer. This is made possible thanks to hard work and perseverance shown by the Skype team. However, the technology has also ignited more needs from the end users; they need higher quality and low cost long distance calls when making long distance calls from their PC. Users have also demanded to have the ability to send and reply to global text messages at lower rates and the breeze to organize their global contact list.

We all hate hidden costs and hidden charges. I do. I do not like it at all the moment I realize that something is not right and when I can undesirably see my money being sucked out from my account. In other words, I just can’t stand to continuously pay expensive long distance call rates. I want a connection that is cheap; cheaper call rate and cheaper text messages. Perhaps in the future when we can easily send picture messaging (MMS) from our mobile phone using our PC, I want the charges to be really cheap. I want the product to be a cheap one in terms of the price but not the quality of the service. I do not want to sacrifice high call quality for low long distance rates. I want both of them.

The question is – can I get both of them? Can I get a high quality long distance call and at the same time enjoy low call rates?

Yes I can. I found Tabrio.

I can go ahead and straight away tell you guys the benefits of using this software but I rather not doing so. Sure I could be rambling about the product for up to three or four pages. I think that it will be better if you try it on your own first. Don’t listen to anyone cheering for the product anywhere either in forums or blogs. They are selling the product, and as a seller of a long distance call software like Tabrio, you just can’t blame them. You will do the same if you become one of them.

Technically, there is no software involved to use this product to start making long distance calls directly from your computer. The software is in the browser, and I think it will be better if I call it application. You don’t even have to pay for any sign up fee when you register your mobile phone to Tabrio. The best part here is the mobile solution service provider is giving away free ten minutes of long distance calls and that is just somehow a cool way to start using the product. You can also opt not to take the free ten minutes of long distance calling, you can instead take up the other option where you can send five free text messages.

I read somewhere on the net about how mobile phone service providers are gaining silly amount of cash flowing in. Think about it for a minute; a text message is basically a really tiny amount of data where it only contains up to 160 characters per message or maybe fewer. If we convert this data into kilobytes, we will get only a 1KB size of data. Try that using your notepad and just type in 160 characters without any space. Well, just for your information in case you don’t know, actually one character or space equals to one byte.

So if you send a text message (SMS) that is fewer than 160 characters or exactly 160 characters to someone else, you will be charged according to the respected charge imposed by the mobile phone service provider. If you use Maxis Hotlink, one SMS is charged only one cent whenever you send it to any of your Maxis Activ10 numbers. In the US though, the charge to send a short text message can go from ten cents up to twenty five cents. Now, since you have known much about this, would you still be paying a cent for a short text message that is only 160 bytes? If you are from California, would you pay ten cents now to send a text message?

Mobile phone carriers are making billions from this text messaging business without us realizing it. They are making more money than what a post service can get. Snail mail would be a cheaper solution since you can send out pages of letter containing millions of characters and yet you only pay for the stamp and the envelope. SMS? We are paying more than what we deserved. We are being overcharged. It’s like buying an umbrella during rainy season where the price is slightly higher than other seasons.

All right, enough said about all this text messaging cost. No matter what your opinions are, it is again all up to you. It’s your call. It’s your message. Now let’s go back to this Tabrio service. This product is actually a mobile and online web application where you can use it to directly make low cost long distance calls, low-cost text messaging (SMS), and also instant messaging. It is a complete communication platform where you can manage your daily routine, using both desktop and web applications that are mobile-like. From what I understand the product is currently undergoing a serious upgrade where in the future it might also serves as a search engine.

What is so unique about this long distance calling application? I’ll say that it is the rates. The rates are just super-duper low. Either long distance calls or simply a global two-way text messaging, you just can’t deny the low rates offered. What is more important is you will also get a high quality long distance call. No BS. Depending on where you are calling and which destination you are calling to, the standard international dialing rules apply as well as local phone charges.

When you use this long distance calling application, you will only be billed when the call has been initiated. Signing up is a breeze as it only take one single step. Take a while to think about it; have you ever rush out from your house only to realize that you have left out your mobile phone at home? And the worse part is you need to make an important call to someone but the phone number is only available in your very mobile phone? Well, this product simply solve that problem to keep you connected with anyone anytime anywhere without spending hours just because you want to synchronize all of your important contacts.

There are basically five products offered by Tabrio:

- Tabrio desktop – allows you to add, edit, and delete contacts. You can also add more calling locations, make calls as well as sending and receiving global text messages or SMS.

- Tabrio Outlook Sync – you can synchronize all of your Ms Outlook 2007 contacts to Tabrio in only one easy step. You can have the numbers that you need whenever and wherever you need them.

- Tabrio Web Online – this is perhaps the quickest way to make your long distance calls where the application is web-based and you just don’t have to install anything on your computer.

- Tabrio Mobile – this application allows you to text Tabrio to your local Tabrio number. You can start making calls and sending international text messages to anyone at low costs without being near a computer.

- Tabrio Mobile Web – as a mobile web user, you can just hit browse on your cell phone and enter an address given by Tabrio to try access the application.

How does this product work though?

Simple, you can just tell the product what is your mobile phone number and which number that you would like to call or text, and the application will do the rest of the job. This is due to the fact that it uses both the internet and regular phone lines to place calls and send text messages, therefore the low cost of internet calls and at the same time you will still enjoy great and high quality call you expect from a regular phone call. In other words, this product helps you to forget the hassle to make long distance calls and worrying about not hearing anything being said by the other person on the line. You don’t have to worry about the cost as well.

When I say long distance calls, I really am meant it. However, currently the capability of making low cost long distance calls and low cost text messages to or from any country is only available for few countries including Cuba, Egypt, Iraq, and North Korea. Sorry guys, so if you are from the US and wanted to make long distance calls to other countries, you might have to search for other products. Or maybe you can stick with Skype if you already have one.

There’s an exception to this rules though. Let say for instance you are leaving the country where you resided, say the US, and you are traveling for business purposes or maybe just a vacation. You can still use Tabrio for making long distance calls and texting no matter where you are and eventually save a huge sum of money on all your long distance calls. However, keep in mind that roaming charges from your mobile carrier may still be applied.

Using this application is definitely a breeze for you since you can use it for global text messaging or SMS. You can also have the text messages sent via the application replies to be sent directly to your mobile phone. However, since you are sending the text messages using your computer or PC, the text messages replies by default will be received through the application as well. Consider this application as the first service of its kind to offer true, two-way text messaging. Depending on which application you choose, for example if you use Tabrio Mobile, text messages sent will be delivered directly to your mobile phone, just like any other normal SMS. If you Tabrio Desktop, instead of being delivered to your mobile phone, the text messages replies will pop up in the conversation window you used to send the initial message. This is just something like when you use instant messaging.

Have you ever encountered times when you accidently deleted call histories and text messages histories that you wish to keep for future reference? I can see many raised hands out there lol. Well, this apps is surely something that you can use to avoid that circumstances since you can keep details records of your long distance calls and text messages. All these are available for you on your account once login. This ensures that you will never ever lose track again of your calls and you can always look back at all your previous text conversations.

I know for fact that some people are so concern about their privacy and all. I am concern about my privacy too and I wonder whether the mobile phone carriers read our text messages that we sent or received. The same issue arise when using this application; does the company read any of our SMS? Well, they claimed that they save the transcripts of our SMS in our text history and on their secure servers, but these SMSs are not read by any human beings except those you have chose to share them with. That’s a relief, don’t you think so? However, their customer service representatives might read them in rare circumstances when they need to resolve any issue that you raise to them to be resolved.

Same thing applies when it comes to our long distance calls. The company keeps a record of the phone numbers involved for all of our calls on its secure servers; that’s why we can still view our long distance calls history. However, the company does not record or listen to any of our long distance calls conversation. Again, there’s nothing to be worried about and your privacy should be safely guarded.

By now you should have known few good things about this product. I recommend you to try it first at your own risk as my two cents here are is just for educational purposes only. I have no intention to sell the product to you nor do I promote the application. I just feel that this application may be suitable for those who love to try new tech and who knows, if you are among the first users, you might get more benefits from the company in the future. Anything that is as good as this application can go really big if promoted properly and if the service provided is excellent.

Mobile Phones Service for Business

The most important thing about having an efficient business is having a very good and clear communication between each and everyone in the company. If a manager can’t communicate well enough with his or her employees, then the business is most probably not going to last very long. A manager has to know how to communicate with his or her employees to ensure that everything is run the way it is on daily basis. The same manager must also find the best way to communicate with other managers in order to make everyday company errands run as smooth as possible.

Running a business or a company is not something that can be taken for granted. You can’t run a company simply by setting it up and employ a few employees and let them to do the work. For instance, if you are running a company that sells coloring books for kids, you can’t just employ a bunch of sales representatives and let them make sales on their own. To ensure that they can sell the books, you have to provide at least a short-term training for them to provide them with knowledge about what is so good about your product. In order to train them, you need to have a specialist that know just how to train and brainwash these sales representatives. In short, everything needs to be planned accordingly and neatly to ensure that the business will run as you anticipated.

As I mentioned earlier, communication is the foremost and the perhaps the most crucial part in determining the business direction; either going forward or down. If you didn’t make any plan, your business is for certain going to flop almost immediately. Providing a good communication medium for your employees is essential since a business is all about trying to fork out as much as cash as possible every single day. For example, if your company is selling prepaid cards, you have to make sure that the sales representatives can easily contact the storekeepers and vice versa. The team leader must constantly contact his or her reports to check what are their needs and how well is the promotion going.

Either your business is just a small one that comprises from one to ten employees or a medium-size company, don’t ever overlook onto this communication issues and thanks to mobile network service providers, we can now enjoy this wonderful service where everyone in the company can keep in touch almost instantly anywhere anytime without much hassle and difficulties. Now everyone in the company can easily communicate with each other using business mobile phones. And today we are going to take a look at what is offered by Celcom who has just the right tool dedicated for businesses.

Celcom Malaysia offers this wonderful mobile phone network service to businesses ranging from a small one to giant corporate companies. The business mobile plan is called Celcom Powertools and just as the name suggests, the plan is the ultimate solution to your business communication issues. Even if your company has only less than twenty people, subscribing to the plan can certainly enhance your business. Keep in mind that a business will always demand for workforce mobility and connectivity, therefore if you fail to provide a good medium for your employees to communicate with each other, the business might go the wrong direction in no time. Each business is unique though in terms of its requirements and circumstances but I can ensure that the Celcom business mobile plan has been carefully placed and customized to meet your business needs.

The question now is why do you have to use Celcom Powertools for your business?

As usual, I would like you to know that I have nothing to do with Celcom nor do I want to promote the product. I simply want to share my thoughts on this mobile phones service for business and since the plan offered by Celcom is not to be missed by any business; small or big. I will try my best to provide unbiased review on the Celcom Powertools business mobile phones. Make your own decision though after reading my review here.

We all know for fact that Celcom is the first mobile phone service provider in Malaysia which has been founded in Malaysia since 1988. Being the one and only truly Malaysian mobile phone service provider due to the fact that it is owned by local investors and 40% of the shares belong to National Treasury, Celcom has almost all the advantages to be the first in the mobile phone industry. It has the widest GSM network coverage and at present day, it covers about 94% of the population, bringing reliable communication to nearly all Malaysians. With all these reasons, you just can’t deny the fact that when it comes to subscribing to a business mobile phone service in Malaysia, Celcom might be the best choice.

If you want to have a reliable business mobile phone service, you just have to make sure that the service is fast enough and the first thing to check is whether the service is available to be used anywhere in the country. You have to make sure that the network coverage is wide enough to cover almost all areas; either the highest places or even the most remote areas in our country. Celcom promises just that; even their 3G network is available at the peak of Mount Kinabalu (can you think of a business that can be done from the mountain peak?)

Whenever you take a business mobile phone service, you are also required to purchase the mobile phones as well and to some extent, these might cost you a lot. Thanks to Celcom Malaysia, you can now enjoy using new mobile phone devices from Celcom as it offers you monthly installment packages to have them. This is definitely a relief to anyone especially those with a small company when the last thing that they want is to pay thousands to get some mobile phones. Yes, business is all about adapting to any situation instantly, but that does not mean that you have to go extra miles applying something that is not reasonable enough with the nature of your business.

It might take an epic to write all of the advantages you can get when you subscribe to business mobile phone service provides by Celcom. Allow me to shorten our journey by listing down a few of all possible reasons why Celcom Powertools is a good product to be used for your business:

1. Fastest mobile data network – Celcom has constantly increasing its network capacity, and customers commonly experience data speeds of up to 1.2 megabytes per second in HSDPA service areas.
2. Widest 3.5G (HSDPA) network coverage – Celcom’s 3.5G network is already available in all major cities and towns, as part of its continuous investment to improve quality and its customers’ user experience.
3. Only operator with discounted packages specifically for government employees – since Celcom is also a government linked corporation, Celcom has made it affordable for government servants to enjoy the service by introducing discounted packages as well as BlackBerry service packages exclusively for them.
4. 100% full-time employees are Malaysian citizens – not sure why this can be considered as a reason, but Celcom believe that Malaysians have the talent and expertise to compete with the best.
5. Widest global roaming agreements – through Celcom’s global partnership with Vodafone, Celcom services are now available through 347 operators in 133 countries around the world.
6. Fastest SMS delivery – 98% of text messages are delivered within 20 seconds.
7. Widest 3G in-building coverage – around 4% of Celcom’s network investment goes to improving its coverage within buildings, which is why the service are available in all major offices, hotels, and also residential complexes.
8. Official sponsor of Mercy Malaysia and other humanitarian causes – Celcom takes its corporate responsibility seriously, and that is a good sign that it is a reliable company.
9. Largest machine-to-machine (M2M) business provider – more companies trust Celcom to deliver their critical data, and over sixty thousands lines are in use today for remote meter reading, vehicle tracking, and other crucial business applications.
10. First mobile phone service provider that develop MVNOs – Celcom supports the government’s call for Mobile Virtual Network Operators (mobile providers who only use its network resources) to increase competition and drive down prices for consumers.
11. Most affordable mobile broadband data services – at only RM68 a month, the plan can be considered the lowest rate in the market.
12. Best value and quality BlackBerry push email services – Celcom’s BlackBerry from Vodafone has been customized and endorsed by the world’s largest mobile phone service provider, and starting from only RM38 a month, the service is also the most affordable.
13. Best value and quality mobile phone bundles – through Celcom’s global purchasing agreements with Vodafone, Celcom enjoy unmatched economies of scale, and therefore unbeatable prices and only the best mobile phone models.
14. Most flexible price mobile phone plans for companies – depending on the size of your organization and total requirements, Celcom will customize its services as everything is negotiable.
15. The only mobile phone service operator to offer integrated satellite services – you can put your 019 SIM card into a satellite mobile phone and then you will be able to make calls immediately with charges billed to your postpaid line.
16. The only mobile phone service operator to offer satellite data services – you can use your 019 SIM in a data-enable satellite terminal and you will be able to send and receive data, with charges billed directly to your postpaid line.

There are a lot more other reasons why Celcom PowerTools is a such a great business mobile phone plan for your organization. What is important to take note is it is a reliable network system and therefore subscribing to the plan will ensure a smooth communication between your employees and to the extent of communicating with your business partners. To support the growth of local businesses overseas and frequent business travelers, Celcom has teamed up with Vodafone as its exclusive partner in Malaysia to extend its range of products and services.

Now let’s talk about the plan whether it is going to be your choice if your organization comprises of one to ten employees. A small business does not mean your needs are trivial. Do you know that by being multi-tasker by creating business opportunities, attending to customer’s orders and at the same time taking care of administrative work, you can double up if not triple up your revenue? You can do all that on your own while keeping the communication issues at bay by choosing the right business mobile phone plan.

Just for the purpose of this discussion, we’ll take a look into one of the packages which only costs you RM18 per month. The package is called “Business Power 18”. As far as I’m concerned, this package is the most affordable of all Business Postpaid Plans that also offers Office Pax as a value-added option. For your information, Office Pax is a feature that allows free calls between colleagues. With this package, you can enjoy 20 hours of free calls and competitive voice and SMS rates. In other words, this package is the best choice for light users who make frequent calls within the network.

If you take a look at the package call rates, you can see that the monthly fee is only RM18 and calls made within the network will only be charged 15 cents per minute. While calls to other networks will be charged 20 cents, you can send MMS to all networks at only 35 cents per MMS. Apart from that, you can opt to add more value-added services to the package such as Caller ID, call waiting, call hold, voicemail, and also teleconferencing. Pretty much a good business mobile phone plan for a small organization and if you think the package is way too inadequate for your business purposes, you can choose another plan which is called “Business Power 38” where you can enjoy 50 hours of free calls to your business colleagues per month!

I wish I can explain more of the benefits of using this business mobile phone service from Celcom but I’m now not in the best situation to write more about it. I’ll write more about this great mobile phone service in my next post and maybe we can also discuss about using international mobile phones and their advantages. As for now, if you think your company needs a solution to weak communication, then I recommend you to check out the mobile phone for business offered by Celcom.

Mobile Phones Deals at Argos Online Superstore

I was introduced by one of my online friends to Argos which is a huge online catalogue site in the United Kingdom. I just can’t help myself but straight away went to the online store once told about it only to discover that the site REALLY is a good place to shop online. As usual, whenever I go to an online store, the first place I will precede would be the mobile phones deals page and guess what, if you live there in the UK, then you can consider yourself to be lucky enough to have an online store such as great as Argos because there are just so many great offers there at the online store.

All right, let’s do some introduction and get-to-know first about Argos. I think I can safely say that Argos online is the biggest online catalogue site in the UK and they sell just about anything from electric toothbrushes, ladies hair removal, Keira Leather Corner Group Chocolate, to electronic devices such as iPod and internet mobile phones. Honestly you can find yourself stuck inside the Argos online store for hours not because you can’t find what you wanted to buy, but simply because you will be attracted enough to buy and shop for other things!

Now what makes Argos as the best place you should go for shopping online is its exceptional customer service as well as reasonable pricing being given to all of its products. You can virtually choose any product without worrying much about having the products out of stock or sold out. It’s all up to Argos to resolve any ‘behind the scene’ issues. This is certainly a relief to anyone since you don’t have to physically go to the store and look for your items based on the catalogue only to find out that the specific store does not have the stock. No more waiting or trying hard to accept any nonsense given by the dealer why the product is not in the store.

At Argos superstore, you do not have to register or login just because you want to buy anything from the store. No, you don’t have to. You can just browse and look for any of your desired item and if you are interested to purchase it, you can just select it and then clicking on “Buy and Reserve” button will bring you to the page where you can select from the options given whether you want to straight away purchase it or reserve it for later pick-up at your closest Argos store. Once you have made your choice, say that you chose for the item to be delivered to your house, you can checkout and you will be asked to enter the home delivery details and later from there the instructions on the screen are self-explanatory.

Shopping online is becoming a trend and the growth has increased exponentially every year. From purchasing compact disc (CD) online, you can now purchase anything and almost everything online at Argos. I understand that almost half of the UK’s adult population has shopped online at Argos for Christmas in 2005 and the number keeps increasing each year onwards. Why is that? Because shopping online helps to reduce your time and at the same time you do not have to worry about other things such as waiting in line for virtually hours, looking for parking space that is closer to the store or waiting for weeks to get your purchased product which you had spent hours in the store to look and decide whether it is worth it to buy it or not!

Since we have spoken a lot about Argos, let’s take a peek at mobile phones offers at the online store. Simply typing the “mobile phones” keyword in the search box will bring you to the page where the system has magically (lol) return the results into three different categories. One resulting in Financial Services where you can look for mobile phone insurance, two results were given in Buyer Guides category and they are internet mobile phones and mobile phones, and another result is given in Customer Service category where you can check and reserve items that you would like to purchase.

What attracted me was the recommendation given just below all the returned search results. Argos has nicely recommended two different mobile phones. You may get a different result but what I got were Sony Ericsson W580i and T-Mobile Samsung E250. I chose the Sony Ericsson W580i mobile phone to check what is so special about it that is offer by Argos.

The Sony Ericsson W580i offered by Argos is white in colour and just for your information, it is a mobile phone that comes with a built-in 2 megapixel camera up to 4 times digital zooming. The mobile phone has a MP3 player, Bluetooth is supported, and it has a 262k colour screen. Video can be captured easily with this mobile phone and another amazing thing about this mobile phone is can stand up to 540 minutes of talk time and up to 370 standby time. Another great thing about this mobile phone is it only weighs 94g which is so light compared to its size.

What is so special about buying this Sony Ericsson W580i mobile phone from Argos online? Well you can have the mobile phone first for the first three months without paying anything if you purchase it using Argos card. If you are an existing Argos card holder, you can just key in your details when asked and you will be automatically given the best credit plan available. Don’t worry, you can still choose other plans if available at the time of purchase is made.

What will happen then if I’m not an Argos card holder? Will I still get the deal? Yes you can as you can simply apply for the card once you checkout and you can choose the Argos card option. The offer is just so great that the home delivery will be done within two business days and if you feel like reserving it first so you can see the mobile phone for yourself at your nearest Argos store, you can simply choose the option to reserve it first and you pay for it later at the store.

Oh yes I forgot to tell you another special offer when you purchase this Sony Ericsson W580i mobile phone. You can save up about £4.89 when you buy a W580i clear protective case together with the mobile phone. Mind you though that this offer will end on January 16th this year and the original price for the mobile phone protective case is £14.67. The online store also provides review for the mobile phone where it gives star ratings in terms of the mobile phone’s features, design, and also the battery life. The buyer is also allowed the rate the mobile phone based on these criteria.

In conclusion, the Argos online store is definitely a place to go to shop online. Unfortunately it is only available for UK residents as Argos only caters for those who reside in the country. Maybe if one day Argos expands its business abroad, we can all enjoy the same benefits and I’m sure enough that I will take the advantages to shop online with Argos. Well the first thing that I will absolutely purchase from Argos superstore would be a mobile phone!

That's all for now guys, but I must say that I don't gain anything from talking about Argos online superstore. I am not part of the online store nor do I have any association with the company. It just that I personally feel that if you are from the United Kingdom, and you are looking forward to purchase a mobile phone, then buying your mobile phone online with Argos would be the best bet you can get rather than just going to any store and simply making your judgment on the mobile phone based on what the promoter said to you.

When I say shop online and purchase your mobile phone online, that will also mean you have to do some research first about the mobile phone and the best place to look for information about mobile phone would be from the internet. Go to any forum about mobile phones or take your time as long as you want to check out all articles and reviews made on the mobile phone that you are interested in. Remember, wise decision is not made by a wise man; it is made by the depth of your knowledge about the thing. The more you know about the mobile phone, the wiser is your decision and eventually you will get the best deal for your mobile phone.

Cheers,
