7 Simple Steps to Look After Your Mobile Phone
Posted by 0845 Telephone Numbers in Mobile Cell Phone on March 3rd, 2010
Statistics tell us that around 88% or people don’t leave home these days without their mobile phones. Reliance on these incredibly popular and useful devices means that losing one can result in some serious headaches.
As mobile phones have become increasingly small and lightweight they’ve become easier to lose, drop or misplace. In 2008 around 200,000 mobile phones went into washing machines, around 600,000 were dropped down the loo and 55,000 were left in the back of taxis.
There is also the growing and worrying risk of theft. There are over 2 million mobile phones stolen in the UK every year. This means that 1 mobile phone is stolen around every 12 seconds and this worrying trend is on the increase.
If a mobile phone is lost there is the initial financial headache of replacement. There may be significant call charges amassed during the time between when a phone is stolen and when it eventually gets disabled. Then there is the impact of lost data, especially contacts.
It is estimated that fewer than 2 in 10 mobile phone users keep their phone SIM card data backed up to a separate device. Although most phones come with software that makes it easy to backup data from the phone to a computer few people take advantage of this.
So what steps can we take to help keep hold of our mobile phones?
- The first thing is to make it difficult for a thief to actually steal your mobile phone. Never ever leave your phone unattended in your car and always store it securely.
- Make certain you record the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number of your phone. This is a unique number associated with every mobile phone that can be used to disable the phone if it has been lost or stolen.
- You can set your mobile phone to only operate after a configured PIN has been entered. This can be a bit of a nuisance but it will prevent a thief from running up substantial bills on your account.
- Another simple suggestion is to switch your phone to silent alert or vibrate mode when in busy public places so that no one is alerted if your phone rings.
- You may like to engrave your name and maybe your car registration details onto your phone and its battery. Alternatively you might like to use a system for attaching unique serial number stickers to your phone (as provided by trackitback.com) to your phone which will help identify your phone if it is lost or stolen.
- It is worthwhile getting into the habit of backing up your SIM card data frequently. As a general rule you should back up your phone data as often as possible which should be every day if you are updating your contacts or appointments every day.
- Finally, make certain that you have some mobile phone insurance that provides the protection that you need. Remember that not all mobile phone insurance policies are the same so be certain to read the details and ensure that you get the cover that you want.
By following these steps hopefully you and your phone will not become part of future lost or stolen mobile phone statistics.

My Phone Got Hit With A Chair
Posted by 0845 Telephone Numbers in Mobile Cell Phone on March 1st, 2010
Although this is something that I did not manage to do on purpose it was a complete accident and I am now suffering from it.
I had first dropped my iPhone onto the floor in which I was immediatly called up for a meeting. Once back from the meeting I had forgotten about the phone so i sat on my chair and slid to my desk. After feeling a slight bump I just presumed it was the floor or something like that. it really wasnt the floor.
Once I had remembered the phone was missing I went looking for it to discover it being on the floor and after inspecting it I thought everything was okay until I turned it over. The reason it cannot work is because it has become cracked just where the charger goes in so I cannot charge it. Another problem is that I had no way of getting a new one because I didn’t have iPhone insurance.
Because the iPhone has been my companion over the past few months I do not feel that I could have any other phone to do the job. I am going to have to go out and spend a lot of money to get another one. Perhaps because I am on contract they will give me a bit of a discount but I can’t see much sympathy coming from them when I haven’t for any insurance of any kind, even that gadget insurance would have sorted me out.
I am now going to go out and get I-pod insurance as there is no way I am ever taking this kind of risk again. It is simply impossible to keep paying out to replace all of the things I am breaking.
So there it is

Chinese Baby Sold to buy New Mobile Phone
Posted by 0845 Telephone Numbers in Mobile Cell Phone on February 25th, 2010
A young Chinese couple from the Chongqing Municipality have reportedly sold their newborn baby for 2,500 yuan ($366) and then used the money to buy a new mobile phone.
The story in the Chongqing Economic times tells us that the child’s 19 year old mother, Zhang Yao, met the 21 year old father, Xin, on the internet. Their relationship flourished and Zhang gave birth to a bouncing baby girl in November.
The couple believed that they wouldn’t be able to afford to raise the child and so, only six days after the baby was born, they sold the little girl to a man who gave his name as Li Yong.
Police have said that the child’s parents, Zhang and Xin, were unemployed and spent most of their time on the internet. Their parents were unable to offer any financial support and this led to them deciding to sell their newborn baby girl.
The parents are now reported to have expressed regret that they sold their newborn baby girl and the child’s mother, Zhang, has said that after she was parted from her little girl she kept crying and she would now like to raise a child. The father, Xin, asked police officers if he could now take the baby back from the welfare center where the little girl is currently being cared for.
Welfare center staff have said that the baby is well behaved, has a healthy appetite and is not frightened by strangers.
Police in the Longsha district have said that they hope that the family can be re-united and that the baby will be back with her parents very soon.
Although the selling of children for money is recognized as smuggling, a criminal offence, police are still investigating whether anyone should be held criminally responsible.
This latest shocking story from China is the latest case in which a very young couple have fallen into parenthood without any planning or thought for how they would support their newborn child.

Keep Your Conversation to Yourself
Posted by 0845 Telephone Numbers in Mobile Cell Phone on February 21st, 2010
Do you Practice Proper Mobile Phone Etiquette?
To many of us in the developed western world it would appear that everyone and their dog now has a mobile phone. But we all need to remember that around 50% of the worlds population have never received or made a telephone call.
This fact highlights the technological gap that exists between the developing countries and those lucky enough to have affordable access to modern communication technology.
But many people think that mobile phones are actually more irritating than they are useful. Have you recently used a train or a bus?
I have to take the train to and from London every day and I find myself forced to listen to mobile conversations that I would far rather not hear. Ever evening on my way home from work on the train from London I have to listen to various people calling home to tell their partners that, surprise, surprise, they are on the train. And every evening I have to listen to the same people making the same calls with the same useless message. What did they do before they had a mobile phone?
I’m also forced to listen to teenagers engaged in long drawn out conversations that don’t appear to make any sense. Their conversations seem to be focused on their boring lives, the television programmes they’ve been watching or criticising their boyfriends. In one recent conversation a young lady loudly shared the details of a recent sexual experience with a detailed account of what took place. As she proceeded to describe exactly what had taken place everyone in the train compartment was cringing with embarassment.
Being forced to listen to what should be private conversations is just one aspect of modern mobile phone use that is highly anti-social. Another is those incredibly irritating and often far too loud ringtones that are supposed to sound like a popular tune but don’t.
We all need to be reminded of how lucky we are to even own mobile phones. People who use their mobile phones to describe their sex lives should be banned from owning them.

If you have a mobile phone you will definitely want some affordable mobile phone insurance. Similarly, if you have a laptop computer it would be wise to spend a little on some laptop insurance. You can protect all of your valuable gadgets and gizmos including cameras, iPhones and games consoles with some very affordable gadget insurance.
Life Saving iPhone Apps?
Posted by 0845 Telephone Numbers in Mobile Cell Phone on February 21st, 2010
So here it is, just some of the best apps that you can currently find on the iPhone. Some of them are really very useful indeed whereas the others are just plain strange.
AroundMe
This is something that has become very useful to a lot of iPhone users as it will show you a lot of nearby things that could prove to be very useful to you. This is handy if you are stuck in a location that you are not too sure of as it can give you directions to fuel stations, hotels or even hospitals. As well as all of this it is possible that it can show you movie theatres and bars and other leisure things.
Fake Call
This is something that could be very useful for people who have to attend a lot of dull meetings in which they need an excuse to get out of. The great thing about this is that it stays on your mobile and will not use up any credit or minutes so you just need to to install it and your set. For the meetings that you simply must get out of this is really good as it will look like there is actually someone calling you on the other end.
Red Laser
This app is very handy indeed as it saves a lot of time looking around for the best deals and prices. No more will you walk into a shop and see that the thing you have just purchases is cheaper. It allows you to scan any barcode to check on cheaper prices elsewhere. I have found that with this it is best to keep it to the entertainment things such as games and music as you can really see some price drops.
Of course this is not going to help you if you drop the phone which is when you are going to need mobile phone insurance or perhaps even gadget insurance as this will cover you from other things too. It is also good to remember that you could be getting insurance on another important gadget so look into getting something like laptop insurance

Consider if you have all of these vital details stored safely elsewhere?
These days I don’t take any risks and backup my telephone data every day. This is a new routine for me that only began after I’d lost my last mobile phone while hiking. The impact of this loss was enormous. I’d accumulated numerous contacts whose details were held solely on my mobile phone. The cost to my business of my losing these was immense. These days I backup my phone data every day. And I have my phone covered with mobile phone insurance to pay for a replacement the next time I lose it, which is bound to happen sooner or later.
If you are now worried about how to back up your phone data it should simply be a matter of taking a look at the applications that came with your phone. If it’s a Sony, Nokia or similar then you will have been provided with a disk full of applications that will include the facility to copy all of your telephone data to your computer.
