Models. "Those who [switch carriers] will need to buy new phones.
That's because even carriers that use the same network technologies
employ different encryption." This is not the case with GSM, because
(ahem) it was designed to foster interoperability from the beginning.
Now, what will you give me for a Motorola Timeport P280? Do I hear $2?

03/31/2005 08:57 AMThe ability to make an emergency call has been given as the top reason
for taking a cell phone when traveling, according to a survey by
Mobal, the international phone company. Mobal conducted the survey of
its customers after reporting an 80% increase in international cell
phone purchase during 2004, and believe the results show that US
citizens, although still concerned with global instabilities, are
increasingly confident to travel internationally. [PRWEB Mar 31, 2005]

07/02/2004 01:22 AMKim Komando did a nice article on buying camera phones recently. She
discusses the importance of checking out the quality of the phone by
reading reviews and being selective when choosing a wireless carrier.
She then goes on to advise that you “try it before you buy
it”. Snap some photos to see how the images turn out. Her
message is clear as she explains that you need to know what to expect
from your carrier and what features you are wanting from your phone.

"Textual @traction is a new film about text messaging which has
been selected to compete for Best Short Film, Best Foreign Film and
Best Drama, at this year's Los
Angeles International Short Film Festival, reports icWales.
The film centres on a young man who finds a lost mobile phone and
starts replying to text messages from a mystery stranger.
What makes the film unique is that the audience does not actually
get to see the messages on screen. Instead, by pre-registering, they
receive the texts to their own phones at the same time as the
characters on screen." [textually.org]

Everyone's Jamming Cell Phones
Everyone's Jamming Cell Phones
12/08/2003 04:42 AMMobile phone signal jammers are illegal in the US, but that doesn't
mean they're not used. They're apparently
increasingly common, and are
expected to spread quite a bit in the near future. The FCC says
that using a jammer is considered "theft" of airwaves, because that
spectrum has been allocated as property to a commercial entity. The
writer of the article wonders, though, about "passive jamming" - such
as putting up buildings made of material that block out cell phone
signals. While some don't like the idea of having their signals
blocked - others think it may become a lot more popular in the future,
if only to have areas to "disconnect". The article points to the rise
of camera phones as a "bottom up surveillance society" as a reason why
we might want areas that have no signal. That makes little sense to
me, since anyone using a camera phone can still snap the picture, and
then just upload it later when they're in range of a signal. Still,
it will be interesting to see if anti-jamming equipment becomes
popular. Most people have no idea if a jammer is being used, since it
just looks like there's no service. This makes it very difficult to
figure out if someone is using a jammer, and means that no one's
getting caught using these things right now.

"New research from Mobile Youth - a mobile telecoms consultancy -
found that 700,000 (20%) of primary school children own mobile phones
and that the under 10s "represent the fastest-growing segment of
mobile phone ownership within Britain".
'They are the key fashion accessory which no self respecting child
can do without,' says the report. It predicts that by 2006, more than
one million primary school kids (a third of all five-to-nine year
olds) will own mobiles." [The

09/17/2004 12:24 PMA new service in the UK lets Wi-Fi users find nearby hotspots with
their cell phones: By sending a text message to a certain mailbox,
users will receive a list of the nearest Wi-Fi hotspots. The service
offers up hotspots that are near the cell site that the user's phone
is communicating with. This is a fantastic offering for finding
hotspots in an area users may not be familiar with. There are plenty
of hotspot locators online, but they require users to investigate
hotspots in the area in advance. For all the procrastinators out there
or for folks who may find themselves unexpectedly in need of a
hotspot, the cell phone locator service is great. Now this company
just needs to start offering the service in the United States…...
