In these modern times of communication people are becoming more and more dependant on the use of cell phones. There are literally hundreds of different plans that all offer completely unique incentives. Unfortunately it is starting to become a little too complicated for most people, therefore if you are one of these people, your best option would be to go with prepaid cell phone plan instead of a monthly contracted plan. This article will discuss the major differences between prepaid cellular phone plans and monthly plans.
Prepaid Cell Phones
So what exactly are prepaid cell phones and how are they beneficial. Well they are essentially this, a phone plan that you pay for when you need more credit. Basically once you run out of credit, all you have to do is go down to the local 7 eleven or anywhere that offers prepaid credit and top up your account. The benefits of such a plan are that you aren't locked into any fixed contract so if you decide that you want to change providers you can do so without having to pay any sort of fee.
When people think of prepaid, they think that it will work out to be more expensive then if you were on a plan of some sort, especially if you are someone who uses their cell phone a lot. This of course is not true as there is the option of purchasing a cap plan where you are given a certain amount of credit for the price you pay, however you will only have one month to use the credit. Basically you get about 5 times as much credit as what you paid for. So if you paid $50, you should get around $250 worth of calls, depending on the service provider.
Monthly Plans
The next choice you have to make is whether or not you are best going with a plan or not. Basically the advantage of going with a plan is that you will normally get a free phone when you sign the contract. Prepaid phones require you to purchase your own phone and we all know how expensive they can be! Therefore if you want to get a good phone that is worth a few hundred dollars, you are more than likely going to get it for free on a plan, if not free then for a lot cheaper.
So in summary you need to make the choice of whether having a good phone is important to you and if it is you are better off going with monthly plan, if not then you can buy yourself a cheap phone and get yourself a prepaid sim card and in the end you are going to save a little more money and have the added bonus of not being locked into a contract.

Soul Mate Or Cell Mate - Cellmate Soulmate Connection
Friends: Lunch on weekends, sometimes stretches till the cocktail hour.
Family: A Few hour on weekends.
Colleagues: About eight to 10 hours a day.
Cellphone: 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Must be next to the pillow to ensure a sound sleep too.
At first read, this may sound like the schedule of socially inept people, but do a quick calculation and your life can also be divided into roughly the same time schedule. You can manage your typical helter-skelter home-office-party-home day without family, friends and colleagues, but try leaving the cell behind and hey... it's the end of the world.
Especially if you are a single woman in the city, says a recent research by the London School of Economics. The researchers feel the cell has today turned into a replacement for the significant other, a bodyguard and friend for women. We find out how...
Your personal bodyguard
Uhh, it's him again... the guy who doesn't seem to get it when you say 'no'. So rather than make another excuse about why you don't want go out with him or talk to him... just pick up your cell and... talk away to glory. So what if there's no one at the other end? After all, your cell is a physical barrier as well and the best way to tell someone to lay off. "Sometimes, when I want to avoid someone, I just pretend to call, or may be scroll the messages. Laugh if you will, but no one dares to disturb me while I am doing that," says actress Lisa Carey. But maybe you want to heed this advice: Don't try this on your boss even if his diatribes on your falling standards are sending you into a coma!
For the fix of gossip
The women respondents to the survey have termed the cell as "the new village green". The idea is to pass notes about the 'Ms-know-it-all' colleague, the siren who is giving your guy a once over or that hunk who's just joined your office today. No woman can resist the temptation of telling her buddy about this ASAP - so the SMS! "Aren't there times when someone or something is so irritating you that you need to tell your friends about it? Waiting till the weekend or evening would be too long. While I haven't done it often, it is a lot of fun," says VJ Kirstin.
Your personal companion
You are again stuck in a party where you know just one person, who coincidentally knows everybody else. Rather than merge with the wallpaper and be tagged as a loser with a capital L, women would prefer to have a tete-a-tete with their ol' friend - the cell. "There have been times I have checked out even the toll options in my cell to seem busy at a party. Believe me, it seems like manna from heaven then," feels design student Carolyn Barger.
Oh, that feeling of safety
Respondents to the LSE study say they feel safe with a cell around because according to them, "there are real people in there". "Whether I am out of the city for work or at my apartment or travelling late at night, my cell keeps me safe. It is some semblance of sanity in my life," says entrepreneur Tania Dally. And have they used this 'safety valve'? "Numerous times. When you're caught in a downpour with the car tyre punctured, just listening to a friend telling you to relax, it is going to be fine, is such a relief," adds Lamba.

How Can I Find Someone's Cell Phone Number
Have you ever had this happen to you? You meet someone, know their name, but for whatever reason you didn't get their mobile phone number. You know they have a cell phone because they showed it to you but when you try to look them up using a phone book or online "Yellow Pages" their name is no where to be found. And there you are asking "how can I find someone's cell phone number?"
As you have found out, if you did what was said above, there is no phone book of cellular numbers. Because of various federal regulations concerning privacy all cell phone numbers are unlisted to prevent data mining by telemarketers and their ilk. While this keeps cell phone spam to a minimum it makes it increasingly hard to lookup someone's cell phone number.
So what do you do when you are faced with this problem? Fortunately there are several options available to you when it comes to looking up mobile phone numbers.
Your first two options won't cost you anything other then some time, patience, and a less ideal return on those two things. In other words free doesn't necessarily translate into a high success rate. On the other hand it doesn't hurt to try because you just never know when you'll get lucky.
The quickest of the free cell phone number search methods is to "Google" the person. It really can be that simple if they have happened to leave some personal information about themselves on a website somewhere. Social networking sites such as MySpace, online classified ad sites, and message boards are the most likely spots to return someone's name, address, and phone number.
Your second choice when it comes to free cell phone number searches is using one of the no cost cellular directories that can be found on the internet. There is a catch to using one of these free sites. In order to join you will have to help them populate their name and number database by entering your own cell phone information into it before they will allow you access. This method is slowly gaining the acceptance of cell phone users but these databases are far from complete.
In most cases the best way to find that unknown cell phone number is through a national registry of cellular numbers. These websites do charge a small membership fee but it can be well worth the cost in time savings alone. You will also get you unlimited searches for the lifetime of your membership and if you have a web enabled phone you can access the site from your phone. It's like having a portable phone book where ever you go.
So the next time you are wondering "how can I find someone's cell phone number", here are three ways which should be able to help you. Just remember there are over a billion cell numbers out there and the method you choose will have a direct bearing on how successful you are.

It’s raining mobiles at Jagdish Market – Cell Phones in Hyderabad
There isn’t a better place in Hyderabad than Jagdish Market at Chirag Ali Lane in Abids to pick up a mobile phone. The market is choc-a-block with stores selling cell phones and everything related to it. What began as a hub for watches and electronics is now the single largest mobile phone market in Asia.
Phones Galore…
Where else in the world will you find stores for spectacle frames and lens having a separate counter for mobile phones? All the stores here sell some type of mobile product or offer some mobile-related service regardless of their actual business. That is Jagdish Market for you. Also known as Abids Shopping Centre, you will find both original and fake products here. The place is filled with second-hand cell phones, "box pieces" (new ones) and Chinese phones too.
Accessories and Repairs…
You can pick up accessories like scratch proof screens, tags and fancy pouches at nominal prices here. The place also has many "unlocking" centres for phones bought outside India and are therefore "locked" to a certain service provider or SIM card. There are a few mobile phone servicing centres where one can get their phones repaired. There is no fixed rate for servicing mobile phones as it depends on the phone’s model and the type of problem. It could be anything ranging from a simple component problem to software hassles.
Sale of Seconds…
You can also sell your old mobile phones here. Most store keepers buy them depending on the phone’s condition. There is a market here for used phones and it is pretty big. Used phones are checked for glitches and undergo servicing before being sold again. Prices depend on brand and condition of the phone.
Our Tips…
• Visit the market anytime between 10 AM and 9 PM from Monday to Saturday. The market is closed on Sundays and public holidays.
• Parking is a big hassle especially for cars. So better to go by autorickshaw. Otherwise you will have to park near Little Flower School and walk down. Beware of signs for one ways as they get changed often.
• Look for "box pieces" (new phones) and get the seal broken in front of you just to be sure of the quality. Ask for a warranty stamp and repair details.
• For repairs, look for authorised service centres (Sony and Nokia have authorised service centres there). Other places are cheaper but are best avoided unless they are known. Phone cloning, defective parts and overcharging are rampant here so discretion is advised.
• Ask around at different stores for the best price (it helps) and bargaining is encouraged. Vakil’s offers some good deals and so does Shubham.
• Do stick to known brands like Sony, Samsung, Nokia, Sagem, Siemens and Motorola. Chinese phones are feature loaded and cheap but have very limited warranty and might not last for more than a year.
• This is one of the best places to get your mobile loaded with the latest songs, video clips and handy software. Try and get this included in your purchase price.
• Be careful with your current phone as this is also one of the biggest markets for second hand and stolen phones. Do not be disappointed with low prices you get for your phone in exchange. Trends change too quickly to get more than half the value.

Cell Phones That Promote Weight Loss
By Pamela Mortimer
As with most of the world, cell phones are, like it or not, a permanent fixture in Japan. Unfortunately, expanding waistlines are also a trend – one that public officials don’t want to become a permanent fixture. In marrying the two, health officials have devised a plan to help those who need help with their health and weight by using their cell phones. The gist of the program is that people will use the cameras in their cell phones to take pictures of their food and send them off to nutritionists for an analysis and recommendations.
Asahi Kasei Corp., a Tokyo-based chemical and medical equipment manufacturer, has developed the system which is currently operating with about 150 health care providers and local governments around the country. The program was launched on a trial basis throughout public health insurance offices in the Osaka prefecture in western Japan. Approximately 100 cardiac patients signed up in the first year, closely followed by diabetics and those with obesity issues.
"Japanese have been getting fatter, especially men in their 20s and 30s, and there is concern over what they learned about nutrition when they were younger," said Satomi Onishi, an Osaka official. "We're hoping that this program can help us to get a handle on the problem."
Dr. Yutaka Kimura has developed a similar program at Kansai Medical University's Hirakata Hospital, also in Osaka. Program participants pay 4,500 yen ($37) to join and a monthly fee of 2,500 yen ($21) thereafter. Currently there are five participants who photograph their meals for three to seven days, then submit the photos to a nutritionist for review. In return, they receive an e-mail from the nutritionist containing analysis and advice.
"Patients used to fill out meal logs, but people tend to forget things or underestimate their portions," Kimura said. "Photographing meals and e-mailing them in is easier and gets more accurate results."
Japan’s Health Ministry released a report last year that estimated that nearly 20 million of its citizens - approximately one in five women and more than half of men between 40 and 70 years of age - were at risk for many health conditions associated with obesity, such as heart disease, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes. Through the program, the Health Ministry hopes to see a 25% decrease in obesity. There are also hopes that other countries will follow suit.

The Mobile Mania
Trends with Necessity
Most often, after much after thought when we do purchase a cell phone, after the initial jubilation, it’s quite likely that you might feel, that even here, it’s the same fundamentals that are at play as it is in life, in general. That the grass is greener at the other side! Much like marriage, where the longer you wait, its likely that you might get an even better deal (what with an even more understanding partner), so it is the case with mobile phones. After having purchased one, in all likely hood, you’ll find yourself admiring the cell phone that your colleague might possess!
In today’s corporate world, your sense of professionalism, is; believe it or not; measured (amongst other things), by the cell phone that you carry! Actually this makes sense to me! Imagine if you and your secretary had the same cell phone, possibly in a different color than your’s, you’d probably think even though it is for a second that there’s hardly a difference in both your statuses! I am not saying that you will, but the thought will cross your mind.
There are very few who understand, or let me place it this way, that there are very few geeks who understand that you cannot have both; either you have functionality, or you have the outer appearance of the cell phone that you may choose to purchase. You cannot say the case to be the same today of course, but then like I said earlier you only have to be a geek to identify that! Of course like it is with clothes and shoes, the color of your mobile phone (read as the most boring hues!) equally reflect the person you are.
Some Tips that may be useful for Cell Phone Users
These are a few pointers that you need to bear in mind while dealing with cell phones!
Firstly its not only the choice of phone, but how you use it that is important when you want to control the amount of radiation you are exposed to. Its important to note that along with style if you’d adhere to simple pointers that help you deal with technology in the best possible manner. The tips that follow help you to considerably reduce radiation and therefore health risks.
A simple fact is that the further away from your body the phone is, the less radiation you are exposed to. Therefore using a hands-free set is the easiest way to radically reduce the amount of radiation you are exposed to if you use a mobile phone.
Also by covering large areas of the phone with your hand, you can reduce its ability to send and receive signals. The phone thereby can increase its power and transmits stronger radiation to compensate this. You’d also find that at times, your ear suddenly throbs and you feel as if your heart is beating rapidly in your ear. That’s when your phone, thanks to the manner of your handling it, works harder to receive signals from its nearest station.
There are many people who make use of a particular beaded cap to the antenna of the phone under the pretext to preventing the radiation from reaching your brain. Its been proven that although it might cut the amount of radiation, there’s still no getting away from it!So the next time you pick up a call, please hold the phone as far down as possible, so it can operate at a low power.
The signal reception strength is always on display, irrespective of the model of your cell phone. When reception is good, the phone reduces power and radiation and uses maximum power and radiation if reception is poor, so please beware. Try making calls from your regular phone as far as possible, as the amount of radiation is directly connected to the length of time you talk on the mobile phone.
The radiation you are exposed to is directly related to the time you spend talking on your phone. For longer calls it is safer (and cheaper) to call from a regular phone. And please do not use a mobile phone when driving a car. Stop at a safe place and talk. It doesn’t matter how great you are at multi-tasking, you’re providing a great risk to your life!
Its best if you don’t use your mobile phone in places where there is a lot of electrical equipment, such as hospitals and aircraft. Do not bathe with your mobile phone. If large droplets of water come in contact with the machinery inside, it would take a while before it dries up, thereby increasing the radiation. Another intelligent tip would be not to let small children talk on your mobile phone for long periods. They are more susceptible than adults.
Show consideration to those around you when you have your phone with you. It’s not so much of the status as it may be the trying patience that you may experiment with your colleagues, as they may not be as keen on your phone as you are. And lastly, don’t forget to turn off your phone when you are in public places such as movie theatres and cafe. Making a habit of turning the cell phone off will be the best boon you would do for yourself!

Cell Phone Takes a Bullet, Saves Amputee’s Life
It seems like cell phones can be programmed to do just about anything these days. Add taking a bullet for the team to the list. Roger Baxter, a Colorado Vietnam veteran who lost his lower right leg in a traffic accident last year, had just programmed his cell phone when it saved his life.
Last October Baxter was working for the Colorado Department of Transportation when a semi truck traveling at 70 mph hit him. He spent nearly a month in a coma, had 13 surgeries, and had his lower right leg amputated. Not one to be deterred by adversity, Baxter told reporters that when he saw his leg was gone, "I looked down and saw I had a leg missing and thought ‘Oh well, I’ll deal with it.’"
He has spent the last seven months learning to live with a wheelchair while undergoing intensive physical therapy to learn to walk with crutches.
Baxter and his wife arrived at their home at about 11:00 in the morning on Tuesday, after getting a haircut to get ready for a physical therapy session. They found an armed man inside their house attempting to break into their safe.
Instead of panicking, Baxter told the press, "I got mad." When the robber threatened him, "I told him to get the gun out of my face. I thought it was pretty low of him trying to rob somebody that’s disabled."
When the intruder got close enough, Baxter told reporters, "He kept coming toward me and he got within 5 foot of me and that’s when I hauled off and hit him with one of my crutches." The man responded by shooting Baxter in the chest. His cell phone was in his shirt pocket over his chest, and it deflected the bullet.
Baxter told local television reporters, "…he shot me. Hit me in my cell phone and ricocheted off of that, gave me a big gouge along the side here."
His wife, Deb, told TV station KUSA, "I thought he was dead after I heard the shot. [But] there he is trying to call 911, he says, ‘Get me a towel, I’m bleeding.’ It’s like, Oh, my God." She joked that they were planning to buy Baxter a titanium suit, "so nothing happens to him."
Baxter sees it this way: "It’s not my time. It wasn’t my time when I got hit by that semi in October. I’m destined to do something I haven’t done yet. Hopefully I can take and do something that’s gonna save someone else’s life," he told reporters. "I’m just a tough old bird."
Before two suspects (the intruder had an accomplice) were found and taken into custody, local schools were locked down while police looked for them. Two young men were later arrested in connection with the shooting and the break-in.
Baxter was treated and released by a local hospital.
Despite the fact that he’ll have to program a new cell phone, Baxter is taking it all in stride. Adds his wife, "He’s just a very lucky person. And he’s not done on this earth yet. That’s the way we see it."

This man in the process developed the cell phone, in the year 1865. The first person to come up with the idea of transmitting and receiving messages was Doctor Mahlon Loomis. He was the first person to communicate through the wireless atmosphere.
The first cell phone project was for Motorola in 1973 by Martin Copper. He was the one responsible to let the people of New York see it. The first cell phone was made in Chicago in 1977.

The good news is that you can find many options to help keep you safe even when you are in some of the most far away locations out there. A satellite-phone is a great way to stay connected no matter where you may be.
The satellite-phone looks quite a bit like an old style mobile phone that is form the late 1980’s. They are larger phones and they normally have a large antenna on them. They need this antenna and design because of how they work. These phones work by communicating with satellites that orbit the Earth. Yes, far into space they can make connections to Earth. The great thing about the satellite-phone is that it is often able to be used throughout the world. And, that is something that most mobile phones can not yet do.
The satellite-phone was mainly used for people who would get into these remote locations. But, now, they are becoming more and more popular. As technology advances, you can find more and more of them available to you. You will even find them offered in that slimmed down version of a mobile phone soon.
While not all of them offer world wide coverage, many of them now do. This is a great service as it allows people to stay connected throughout the word. If you feel that you will benefit from the use of a satellite-phone, take a minute to find the locations on the web that offer them. The best technology is that which is located on the web. You will find great opportunities in pricing plans as well. The satellite-phone offers many benefits including great service!

Dual, Tri, or Quad Band GSM Cell Phone for International Traveling
Everyone is asking what kind of GSM phone to get: Dual, Tri, or Quad band? Since there are two frequency bands that are used by GSM services in the United States, and also two different frequency bands are used in the rest of the world, ideally, one would want a quad- band phone – one that works on all four bands. This should be your first choice when seeking a phone. However, since some of the best phones can still be expensive and hard to find, many gravitate toward the second best choice, the tri band phone. When doing this, be mindful which three bands your phone has, as some bands are more useful than others.
The United States originally only used 1900 MHz for its GSM service, but more recently, there has been a growing amount of GSM service on the 850 MHz band. When choosing a phone, it’s important to know how you will be using it. For example, if you are in the United States and operate with in the major metropolitan areas, you won’t really miss the 850 MHz bank. On the other hand, if you regularly travel to secondary areas, you will benefit from the extra coverage that the 850 MHz band provides. Basically, if you travel outside of the big cities, you’ll want a phone that supports 850 MHZ and 1900 MHz.
Internationally, things are a little different. In the beginning, all countries with GSM service used the 900 MHz band, but due to congestion, service providers have been adding 1800 MHz coverage. When GSM became available in the United States, a few other countries chose to used the same frequencies the U.S. used – 1900 MHz, and in some cases, 850 MHz. Most international countries that use the non U.S. international frequency banks have 900 MHZ service. Many also have 1800 MHz service. All international countries that have the U.S. frequency bands have 1900 MHz service. A few may also have 850 MHz service. So, which frequencies do you need when traveling internationally? That depends on where you’re going. Generally, 900 MHz is the most common band used internationally. 1800 MHz will give you expanded coverage in countries that also use 900MHz.
Ideally, your phone should support all four bands. In the real world, not everyone is going to have a quad band phone, so here are some guidelines:
If you’re only using your phone in the United States, and you get a dual band phone, make sure it has both 850 MHz and 1900 MHz. If you must get a single band phone, one with 1900 MHz only will give about the same amount of coverage.
If you’re going international, and your countries have international frequencies, get a dual band phone with 900 and 1800 MHz. If you must go single band, one with 900MHz will be almost as good. If your countries have U.S, frequencies, get a tri band phone with 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz. This type of phone is excellent internationally, and very good in the United States. Another type of tri band is 850-1800-1900. This one is great for the United States, but not very good internationally.

How To Find Cell Phone Numbers
There are many options when you want to find cell phone numbers on the Internet. Although none of them are guaranteed, with a little bit of work, and a lot of luck, you might find the cell number that you're looking for.
These Internet-based services for finding cell phone numbers are broken into three major categories.
The first category is Reverse Cell Phone Number Lookup. This service attempts to give you the name of the cell phone subscriber when you provide the cell phone number.
The second category is the Cell Phone Directory service which works a lot like the white page telephone number lookup services. These sites will look for a cell phone number when you provide them with a name.
Although many of these services look like they are free, you often have to pay a fee once the site determines that they might have a match. "Might" is the key word here because, due to the fact that many people have the same name, the service might find a cell phone number but it could be for a different person that you were looking for.
The third category use investigators to attempt to find the cell phone number. These investigators will usually call the person's regular phone number, or the phone numbers of the person's friends, neighbors, or employees, and make up a pretense for trying to find the cell phone number. While this method does have some successes, make sure that you know what the fee is if they fail to find the cell phone number. You might end up paying the same price either way.
Some companies will tell you that they have access to a special "cell phone number" database that they use to find cell phone numbers but, as far as anyone in the cell phone industry knows, there is no such database that's available to the public.
Prices for paid services that find cell phone numbers range from $25 to $100 and up. $75 seems to be the average. Some of the "Instant Investigator Software" web sites look like they are a bargain because they offer do-it-yourself software for around $30, but there's a catch. This software acts like a search portal into paid information sites. So, although you pay $29 for the software, all it lets you do is access web sites that charge even more money to find a cell phone number. So you're not getting much for your money in this case.
Start your search to find cell phone numbers on Google. Use the search term" "find cell phone numbers" and you'll be off to a good start.

Cell phone cameras
A lot of myths exist regarding as to whether the cell phone cameras are any good or not. The fact that people require to admit that these cameras are also digital cameras and they exhibit the same facilities irrespective of the fact that their sizes are much smaller and their functionalities are curtailed due to this particular reason. Hence some introspection needs to be done regarding the digital cameras and cell phones in their joint venture together in the technological world!
Looking back into the initial stages of development the availability of low-cost, low-power CMOS imaging modules helped to charge up the popular craze camera enabled cell phones in today's world that primitively began in Japan. That proved to be contagious for the rest of the world. From young students to even busy business people avidly annals photos of colleagues and whatever else passes in front of their phones. The popularity has touched sky high and the reason being the good quality that people seek at grass root level endeavors of photography. Americans have the urge to seek betterment in these areas also. They go about to seek cool new digital camera phones that all have VGA resolution 640 x 480 pixels. This is considered a safe bet that this phone is the most expensive model.
Much of a kind of ignorance exists apart from all this regarding the cell phones cameras and it crops from the fact that no benchmarks exist for objectively comparing picture quality in image sensors, camera modules, or end products. The helpless consumers thus have to rely upon advertisements to tell them much. Yet this is not a correct way to knowing a technical device. Considering the technological portion it can be said here that in the cell phone cameras some of the VGA handsets offer fairly good image quality. When you consider that the resolution comes from an imaging module that measures only 6 mm square, its actually pretty amazing quality. That square includes an imaging chip, a digital signal processor (DSP) that supports the VGA format, and a double lens that's packaged in a light-tight module. Finding room for this module is easy. Plus, power consumption is low because the imaging chip is CMOS.
Considering the further improvements in the cell phone camera technology it can be stated here that some cell phones have incorporated conventional CCD imaging units that are still used in most digital cameras today. These devices require high voltage and a bigger a battery. As a result, CMOS has taken over in VGA-resolution applications. It provides increasingly good image quality. All this discussion shows the various achievements in the technology. However it must be stated here that the cell phone cameras are really good but they are nothing compared to the actual digital cameras. The sole reason being that they are much larger and contain far more features. It must be admitted here that such comparison is irrelevant because they are definitely two separate areas of work in spite of the fact that they are both digital cameras. Yet they are diverse in 100% of all their aspects. Hence the comparison is irrelevant.
Considering all the important points discussed in the above lines regarding the various areas of the cell phone digital cameras it comes out to be something that is worth appreciation. Leaving aside all comparisons they cell phone cameras are digital cameras that are certainly good in their areas of applications and mass acceptance and popularity would some day make them as advanced as their pioneer professional digital cameras.

M-commerce (mobile commerce) is the buying and selling of goods and services through wireless handheld devices such as cellular telephone and personal digital assistants (PDAs). Known as next-generation e-commerce, m-commerce enables users to access the Internet without needing to find a place to plug in. The emerging technology behind m-commerce, which is based on the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), has made far greater strides in Europe, where mobile devices equipped with Web-ready micro-browsers are much more common than in the United States. But now, with Free SelfBank Mobile Banking and Payments, M-commerce is going to a whole new level, not requiring special software or hardware and can work on any phone or carrier and POS system.
In order to fully exploit the m-commerce market potential, handset manufacturers such as Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola, and Qualcomm are working with carriers such as AT&T Wireless and Sprint to develop WAP-enabled smart phones, the industry's answer to the Swiss Army Knife, and ways to reach them. Using Bluetooth technology, smart phones offer fax, e-mail, and phone capabilities all in one, paving the way for m-commerce to be accepted by an increasingly mobile workforce.
As content delivery over wireless devices becomes faster, more secure, and scalable, there is wide speculation that m-commerce will surpass wireline e-commerce as the method of choice for digital commerce transactions. Were talking about alot of people!
Financial services, which includes mobile cell phone banking (when customers use their handheld devices to access their accounts and pay their bills) as well as brokerage services, in which stock quotes can be displayed and trading conducted from the same handheld device.
Telecommunications, in which service changes, bill payment and account reviews can all be conducted from the same handheld device Service/retail, as consumers are given the ability to place and pay for orders on the spot.
Information services, which include the delivery of financial news, sports figures and traffic updates to a single mobile phone device IBM and other companies are experimenting with speech recognition software as a way to ensure greater security for m-commerce transactions.

Mobile Phone Number LookUp
By Pauline Stradlen
About the Author:
A cellphone number lookup service provides an easy way to find information on a cellphone number that called your work, home, or mobile phone. You might like to check on your partner in case they are cheating, or you may have missed an important business call. Cellphone number lookups can get you the information you need, without leaving your computer.
Mobile Phone Number Lookups - Your Options
To do a cell phone number lookup, you'll need to go to a site which provides such a service. Of course, you are probably already familiar with the countless sites on the Internet that offer free reverse lookup services.
These free sites will do a good job of getting information for a landline number that is not unlisted. However, there are an increasing number of phone numbers which aren't from landlines. These free services will not be able to help you if you're looking for information on a mobile number, or an unlisted one.
In those cases, you'll need to turn to a paid service. That's not such a bad thing, usually because you'll end up with more accurate, up-to-date information and, you'll learn more about the individual who owns the number than you probably imagined possible, like family members, relatives, and background information.
For any paid service you should only need to register once and this process is relatively simple. With most of these paid services your membership will entitle you to an unlimited number of phone number searches, so from then on you only need to log in to get the information you need.
After you've registered, you'll be able to do your cell phone number lookup. Simply enter the area code and seven digits of the phone number in question. After you hit "Search," the system will make a match using the number and its extensive database of records. While most reverse lookup services contain hardly any records, some have wide coverage across the U.S., so you'll get your results within seconds.
If the information is available, you will find out the name of the owner of the number, their address, as well as a large amount of other background details that you would not find with a free service.
If you want information on a certain cell phone number, then you're better off going straight to the site below. You will quickly find out what you need to know, and the service is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Find Out How To Trace A Cell Phone Number
By Paul Turner Marketing.com
About the Author:
The need to trace a cell phone number usually comes from some degree of pain caused by receiving anonymous phone calls or text messages from people you don't know or don't want contacting you. This is a growing problem all over the world in these challenging times.
You can trace or find landline numbers easily because these phone numbers are already in the public domain - ever heard of the phone book? But cell phone numbers don't have the same books. Phone networks such as Verizon and sprint don't make it easy for us. There are now some good, websites that make it easy to find cell phone numbers by compiling their on cell phone directories.
A cell phone number directory is the answer. These will allow you to do what is known as a reverse cell phone number look up. This sounds rather grand but basically you enter a cell phone number and the directory uses this as its search field and follows the line of information back to the owner of the phone.
First of all try and find the number for free by simply typing it into Google. Perhaps the owner of the number has entered it somewhere where you may find it. It is a long shot but worth a try.
How a reverse cell phone number works is simple. Some sites let you enter the cell phone, or landline number into the directory before you part with money, so you know if there is information before you before you hve to part with the modest fee. Some sites expect you to pay before you know if they have any information and you should avoid these. You will then be given the information concerning that number, which will include a name and sometimes an address.
People are using cell phones to make more prank calls,sales calls and threatening intimidating calls and text messages because cell phone numbers aren't that easy to trace back. They think they are protected but this now not the case with the growing number of reverse cell phone directory websites.
