Technology and Cell Phone Dating
by: Jay Jackson
Just when I thought technology had finally outdone itself with online dating, it goes one better with cell phone dating.
Does it get any easier than this?
Cell phones are not just for calling anymore.
They went from talking and voice mail, to text messaging, to taking pictures, to tracking our location via GPS (not always necessarily in that order), and now to dating.
Cell phone dating is so popular in some countries, like Japan, that it's overtaken online dating.
Now the phenomenon has spread to the USA to the tune of six million mobile-daters, and more coming onboard everyday.
How many might be waiting to "hear" from you?
A web search will turn up mobile dating services like Webdate Mobile, Dodgeball, Zogo, Match Mobil, and SMS Flirt.
You still have to go online to register, post profiles and/or pictures, etc., but then it's all cell phone.
As with most anything online you'll want to check several companies to find the one that's right for you.
It's important to look for a service that's compatible with your cell phone model, as well as your carrier.
Webdate's service requires a web-ready camera phone (more about these at nextel-i930-phone.com).
With Dodgeball you can make a list of "crushes" while cruising through the photos, then while out cruising you can "check in" to see if one of your "crushes" has checked in also.
If they happen to be nearby, you can text message each other and possibly get together.
Zogo works something like online dating, but instead of e-mailing a potential date anonymously, you can speak to them by cell phone through Zogo's anonymous phone service.
If your current cell phone isn't equipped with all the required features, you can still date by phone by using SMS.
It's quite simple in that no profiles or photos are involved.
Text is just sent to and received from random suitors.
Each mobile dating service works slightly differently, and each has different requirements and costs.
Most have a combination of some free features along with a monthly fee.
With all that's available, and more coming, you're sure to find one that suits your needs and your budget.

Ringtones are Red Hot
Ringtones are Red Hot
by: Amit Laufer
Ringtones are like hot cakes for the youngsters, the market is huge, estimated world wide sales of $ 2.5 Billion per year. The cost of a ringtone is ranging from $0.99 - $2.99. Survey shows that about 26% of cell phone owners downloaded at least once a ringtone. Many downloading more than one as you can customize and set the phone to play different ringtones per specific caller.
For instance if mom is calling the cell phone will play a certain ringtone and another one for dad and for your girl friend a different one so you don't have to guess who is calling you, it is totally personalized per caller.
There are four types of ringtones:
* Monophonic ringtones play a melody of a song one note at a time, with no harmonies.
* Polyphonic tones add harmonies to the song.
* Real-life ringtones include voices, quotes, or other strange, real sounds.
* Master tones are compressed clips...

Homecall Broadband
Homecall Broadband
by: Neil Shevlin
Caudwell Communications, telephony business from the Caudwell Group and owners of mobile phone company Phones4u announced in October their new phone line and broadband internet package. The broadband home service is known as Homecall.
The main advantage of Homecall over other services is that they can combine all your needs. A single bill every month includes your phone bill and internet bill. Because of their ties with Phones4u they often provide mobile phone promotions and their standard package includes free international and local calls, and cheap mobile phone calls!
Homecall don?t provide their ADSL themselves though, they do it through Tiscali Broadband. Although they offer they own services and support, Tiscali have a bad reputation when it comes to customer experience and also use the unpopular Datastream method of connection as opposed to IPstream.
With BT being forced to open up their...

How To Program An Avaya Partner Phone
by: Al Martinovic
It is very easy to program an Avaya Partner phone, but only if you know how. First lets get to the basics. In order to program the phone you have to be at extension 10 or 11. That is where all of the programming must be done. A programming overlay is also placed over the phone to guide you through the programming functions.
A display phone is also needed for programming. Also take note that if you have a 34 button phone in your Avaya Partner phone system then you must use a 34 button phone for programming as an 18 button phone cannot be used to program a 34 button phone.
There are two types of programming in the Avaya Partner phone system: there is System Programming and Centralized Telephone Programming.
When using System Programming all of the phones in the system will be programmed for the feature that is being programmed. When using Centralized Telephone Programming an individual...

Local Search Marketing Makes The Phone Ring!
Local Search Marketing Makes The Phone Ring!
by: Monte Huebsch
Local Search Marketing provides you, the business owner, with the most targeted and cost effective customer acquisition opportunity.
Your customers are more and more often searching for businesses like yours on the Internet.
Studies show that these customers have a serious buying intent.
As a local business you need to figure out how to cost effectively reach out to these customers and start the business relationship.
You need to do this even if you don't have a web site and don't want one!
The Internet has changed the way that customers are looking for your business.
The days of pulling out 2 kilos of two or more volumes of phone books are coming to an end.
People are still letting their fingers do the walking but it's on a computer keyboard.

Data On The Road With Your Cell Phone
Data On The Road With Your Cell Phone
by: Sam Michelson
Finally you're spending the weekend at your friend's cabin up at the lake. You managed to sneak your laptop up there because you know you'll need to check your e-mail at least once or twice while you're out of town.
If there happens to be Ethernet or Wifi available you'll be in luck - just plug in and you'll be ready to go! But what if you are in a secluded area? How should you get online?
Sometimes the best solution is to either have a cell phone or cell phone/PDA that acts as a modem, my favorites are the T-Mobile Sidekick, Treo 650, and the new Verizon Treo700W.If you have a way to dial in to your ISP this can be a solution.
AOL has local numbers around the US for example. The speed will be slow and you may need to pay roaming charges if you happen to be roaming on a different network, but you will be online!
Keep in mind that some but not all phones can be used as...

Death, Taxes and the Non-Automated Phone Systems
by: Kingston Amadan
There are only three things I am certain of in life. The first is that we will all eventually die. The second is that if you earn money, you will inevitably end up paying taxes at some point. The third is that I will get at least five phone calls during the course of my workday that were transferred to me in error.
If you are anything like me, your workday is full to capacity the moment you walk through the office door. I would say that it's not that I don't have a minute to spare, but in truth, I often really don't. For this reason, and the annoyance factor of someone else's mistake interrupting my work, I absolutely hate having calls transferred to me that are not meant for my ears. Of course, I am polite and courteous to the caller, as through no fault of their own they are now faced with yet another, "let me get you someone in accounting", but it really makes me want to...
