The Mobile Takes On The Landline (2)

January 29th, 2010 No comments

So onwards with the debate on whether or not the mobile phone is actually a better thing to use than the landline is the final part of the argument.

Charging

So the mobile phone is always dying because of the short battery it has right? It would seem that the landline can do this a lot too. This is really due to the fact that many people now have landlines that are very similar to the mobile as you can have two or more wireless phones that act like the mobile. These phones are of course a big help to the people that are always having to run downstairs to get the phone but they have very little life in them. Surely if you are currently using one of these phones in your home then you may as well just use a mobile?

Landline Advances

So as you can see the landline is being forced to switch into an almost mobile device however there are many landline features that are currently unique to the landline that actually make it something worthwhile. One of the best inventions you can get for the home is the fax machine cross phone which is actually a great combo of the two meaning you do not have to spend a lot of money on both.

Although not technically something the landline has, fax to email is certainly a great invention as it will turn all of the incoming faxes into emails and send them off to whoever needs to have them.

The Truth

The mobile is used more than the landline because it has so many really good features to it that is impossible for the landline to ever have. The other thing is that you can get things like premium rate phone numbers and 0800 numbers on your mobile phone which is why a lot of businesses are choosing to give out mobiles rather than spend money on landlines.

However the choice in which you make is really yours!

Why the 118 800 Number is Getting Everyone Scared

September 20th, 2009 No comments

For years we have had phone directories which you would be able to call up and they would give you the number of any business or service in the UK. It has been a very valuable service and one that people have been happy with for years, but people have been left shocked at the new announcement that a new service will be launching that actually puts you in touch with peoples mobile numbers.

The service called 118 800, has collected around 42 million tele phone numbers. The service will work the same way as traditional directories, but the numbers will not be given out to anyone, they will only be able to be put through to the folk.

But a huge amount of people of people have caused uproar and they believe there is still a huge amount of issues left. A huge amount of people will be on the database without them even realising it and they will be getting a vast amount of calls.

Could you even imagine if there were famous people in the directory, people would constantly be trying to get through to them on a daily basis. People can also opt for their mobiles to become ex directory, by either sending an SMS or calling a standard rate network.Even then it could take upto a month to get the changes updated.

There are a couple of ways in which the service works, first and foremost you can call the directory and ask to be put through to a specific person. The operator then talks to the person and asks whether it is ok to connect the call, or you have the option of trying to use the online site.
