Gadgets, Business and Technology

It is interesting that the approach that vendors and carriers continue to tout to users is that they need ALL their emails on the mobile phones. Users can either register for a “push” email for mobile phones service such as the Blackberry and receive every annoying desktop email they get in its full glory with its hundreds of lines and threads. Or they can sign-up to other vendor offerings such as Google or Yahoo! with their “pull” offerings for Smart Phones which download your desktop email view to your 2×2 inch micro screen! Both types of services force you into expensive plans of $50-100 per month and you have to buy a Smart Phone. This is even the model for the more innovative devices such as the iPhone from Apple. So, what is a poor overwhelmed user to do?
Users need to look at reducing the volume and hence expense of the “all” or “nothing” model. The enterprise can look at buying a product that only forwards the critical emails to users with the option to reduce the content of those emails down to the key content. Consumers can similarly sign-up to Smart Email-to-SMS portals that automatically reduce the number of packets (and hence cost) based on salient content and then decide if that email should go mobile or not.
The carriers and the vendors would have us believe there are no such services! All you have to do is look at innovative solutions like the Email to SMS solution of Amika Mobile to know that there are great alternatives out there!!

Mobile Phone Deal? Choose Your Own

Let’s be honest: How many times have you been shopping for mobile phones and had that annoying sales advisor trying to sell the the latest and greatest mobile phone deal with that phone he’s had in the back cupboard for the last 6 months? … and you know he’s only trying to sell you that one because no-one wants it?

Well, we have decided that it’s your turn to tell us which mobile phone you want!

We have created a unique mobile phone deal creator where you can choose a mobile phone and create the deal you want on the network you want and at the price you want to pay! – No more annoying salesmen, just the deal you want, selected by you. There are three drop down lists which allow you to select the exact mobile phone you want. See our three step guide below:

Step One:

Choose the brand / make and model of the mobile phone you are looking for. We offer a really handy drop-down list full of all the brands and models of all the mobile phones that we stock.

Step Two:

Choose the contract length & price. Some people feel that a 24 month mobile phone contract is a little too long. So therefore we allow you to choose the contract length you want to take. Once you have selected the contract length we display the available tariffs, their inclusive’s and their prices below for you to select. You can also filter these results by network.

Step Three:

You can now select a free gift. Mobile phones with free gifts are becoming very popular and we have a huge selection of free gifts to choose from including games consoles and laptops.

You’re Done!

Have fun and hopefully you will find the contract mobile phone deal that’s right for you.
