How Reliable are Cell Phones

Cellular phones and pagers are part of the “now” generation, instant contact, anywhere at any time. People are looking for convenience, comfort and security. The question is how instantaneous and reliable is the contact?

Talking with someone is the main use for a cell phone, yet due to poor reception how often do calls not go through, or important calls “dropped” due to flaky coverage? Let us not forget, that in a time of tragedy, lines were congested and the resounding “all circuits busy” messages were heard from coast to coast. There is certainly room for improvement if you want to reach out and touch someone.

The alternative to voice communication is traditional text messaging, enjoyed by the young as SMS, a ‘hip’ communication method, and the older as the tried and true paging, a trustworthy means of communication. A carrier receives pages or text messages via a traditional dial up modem or Internet connection to their terminal, and then broadcasts the messages over their network to the appropriate wireless device. How instant is sending a text message? The answer might surprise you…it depends.

Traditional means of sending text messages is surprisingly reliable and fast. However, many cellular carriers, wishing to merge technologies while keeping costs down, have opted to utilize email technology to send text messages. Why not, an email is nothing more than a text message, using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). On the surface this sounds like a great idea, nearly everyone has email access, and the use of the Internet streamlines the sending of messages.

What is often overlooked, is the fact that email was not designed to be time sensitive. There can be significant delays and an instantaneous receipt can be lost when sending email to a pager or cell phone. Text messages sent via the email protocol SMTP could take a more scenic delivery route. While in many cases, receiving messages in a timely fashion is not critical; some industries require and benefit from the receipt of urgent messages. It is therefore important to realize and make a distinction between the protocols that are designed for instantaneous communication and those that are not.

If sending messages immediately to a cell phone or pager is required, more reliable protocols are available. When sending text messages, via a modem, the Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP) is extremely dependable, albeit slower due to the modem dialing. If sending messages with a high-speed Internet connection use the newer time sensitive Internet protocols: Simple Network Paging Protocol (SNPP) and Wireless Communication Transfer Protocol (WCTP). If your carrier supports these protocols they are the better options for sending important messages.

If carriers understand the “now” generation is about speed and reliability, customer satisfaction will improve. Text messaging is a reliable and useful communication method, especially since voice is not always convenient or possible. With public awareness and urging, carriers will increase their offerings of text messaging protocols. Carriers should offer email or SMTP, but they must also support time sensitive protocols, regardless, of whether the protocols are older such as TAP or newer such as WCTP.

HOW TO AVOID A CAR REPAIR RIPOFF

Every once in a while we actually go off-line and leave the house. And when we go it’s usually in a car… or truck or van or motorcycle … you get the point. The fact is that our vehicles are going to break down some day. When that day comes FOR YOU, here’s how to come out the winner in the great car repair ripoff game.

There are honest and dependable car repair shops in the land. Equally true, however, is that the Federal Trade Commission has stated that there have been over $40,000,000,000 in unnecessary car repair ripoffs.

You read that number right, it’s 40 BILLION dollars. And they want you next.

DO IT YOURSELF IS OVER

In 1980 the car companies started putting computers in car engines to make them more fuel efficient and satisfy the demands of the public for more features. A side effect of this move has been that cars are now so computerized that even if you wanted to do it yourself in many cases you can’t.

WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT

While space won’t allow me to list all you can do here, the following BASICS will get you well on your way.

Absorb the following information for your online business, too. Remember, although I’m specifically talking about the necessities of avoiding car rip-offs, ensure that you take the following procedures to heart when doing business online. As a result, you can truly find the professionals.

ASK QUESTIONS

We often approach the car repair shop like we do a brain doctor. Since they will be doing things we don’t have expertise in, we ask very few questions. YOU ARE THE CUSTOMER. You have a right to a simple explanation.

Or a technical one if you are so inclined. If they can’t or won’t explain the work to your satisfaction, look elsewhere.

GET A REFERRAL

Have you ever noticed that very FEW car repair shops offer you a list of satisfied customers? It’s very important to ask around BEFORE they have your car in their possession. You can call the Better Business Bureau or the local Chamber of Commerce. In most cases they will know who to avoid. If you are at home call your friends and ask them who they use or who NOT to use. Remember, information is power.

WHERE’S THE BEEF?

Here’s a tip that almost all car repair customers miss. Make them SHOW you the parts they replaced. Unless you can see the old, broken or worn parts you will never know if they needed replacing. Protect yourself with this technique and you will avoid the most common ripoff of all; saying parts have been replaced when they simply have not.

By following the advice above you will leave the house with a sense of confidence that if something DOES go wrong, you know what to do. And that is the ultimate weapon to protect yourself against any scam….

Whether it be to your car, or for your online business!

James McCoy KNOWS the car repair business and publishes a FREE ezine with literally HUNDREDS of tips and tricks to help YOU avoid the ripoff trap. These tips can help save you money and give you peace of mind the next time a car repair is needed. To learn more, visit James on the Web at http://www.onlineautotech.com

How Reliable are Cell Phones

Cellular phones and pagers are part of the “now” generation, instant contact, anywhere at any time. People are looking for convenience, comfort and security. The question is how instantaneous and reliable is the contact?

Talking with someone is the main use for a cell phone, yet due to poor reception how often do calls not go through, or important calls “dropped” due to flaky coverage? Let us not forget, that in a time of tragedy, lines were congested and the resounding “all circuits busy” messages were heard from coast to coast. There is certainly room for improvement if you want to reach out and touch someone.

The alternative to voice communication is traditional text messaging, enjoyed by the young as SMS, a ‘hip’ communication method, and the older as the tried and true paging, a trustworthy means of communication. A carrier receives pages or text messages via a traditional dial up modem or Internet connection to their terminal, and then broadcasts the messages over their network to the appropriate wireless device. How instant is sending a text message? The answer might surprise you…it depends.

Traditional means of sending text messages is surprisingly reliable and fast. However, many cellular carriers, wishing to merge technologies while keeping costs down, have opted to utilize email technology to send text messages. Why not, an email is nothing more than a text message, using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). On the surface this sounds like a great idea, nearly everyone has email access, and the use of the Internet streamlines the sending of messages.

What is often overlooked, is the fact that email was not designed to be time sensitive. There can be significant delays and an instantaneous receipt can be lost when sending email to a pager or cell phone. Text messages sent via the email protocol SMTP could take a more scenic delivery route. While in many cases, receiving messages in a timely fashion is not critical; some industries require and benefit from the receipt of urgent messages. It is therefore important to realize and make a distinction between the protocols that are designed for instantaneous communication and those that are not.

If sending messages immediately to a cell phone or pager is required, more reliable protocols are available. When sending text messages, via a modem, the Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP) is extremely dependable, albeit slower due to the modem dialing. If sending messages with a high-speed Internet connection use the newer time sensitive Internet protocols: Simple Network Paging Protocol (SNPP) and Wireless Communication Transfer Protocol (WCTP). If your carrier supports these protocols they are the better options for sending important messages.

If carriers understand the “now” generation is about speed and reliability, customer satisfaction will improve. Text messaging is a reliable and useful communication method, especially since voice is not always convenient or possible. With public awareness and urging, carriers will increase their offerings of text messaging protocols. Carriers should offer email or SMTP, but they must also support time sensitive protocols, regardless, of whether the protocols are older such as TAP or newer such as WCTP.

HOW TO AVOID A CAR REPAIR RIPOFF

Every once in a while we actually go off-line and leave the house. And when we go it’s usually in a car… or truck or van or motorcycle … you get the point. The fact is that our vehicles are going to break down some day. When that day comes FOR YOU, here’s how to come out the winner in the great car repair ripoff game.

There are honest and dependable car repair shops in the land. Equally true, however, is that the Federal Trade Commission has stated that there have been over $40,000,000,000 in unnecessary car repair ripoffs.

You read that number right, it’s 40 BILLION dollars. And they want you next.

DO IT YOURSELF IS OVER

In 1980 the car companies started putting computers in car engines to make them more fuel efficient and satisfy the demands of the public for more features. A side effect of this move has been that cars are now so computerized that even if you wanted to do it yourself in many cases you can’t.

WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT

While space won’t allow me to list all you can do here, the following BASICS will get you well on your way.

Absorb the following information for your online business, too. Remember, although I’m specifically talking about the necessities of avoiding car rip-offs, ensure that you take the following procedures to heart when doing business online. As a result, you can truly find the professionals.

ASK QUESTIONS

We often approach the car repair shop like we do a brain doctor. Since they will be doing things we don’t have expertise in, we ask very few questions. YOU ARE THE CUSTOMER. You have a right to a simple explanation.

Or a technical one if you are so inclined. If they can’t or won’t explain the work to your satisfaction, look elsewhere.

GET A REFERRAL

Have you ever noticed that very FEW car repair shops offer you a list of satisfied customers? It’s very important to ask around BEFORE they have your car in their possession. You can call the Better Business Bureau or the local Chamber of Commerce. In most cases they will know who to avoid. If you are at home call your friends and ask them who they use or who NOT to use. Remember, information is power.

WHERE’S THE BEEF?

Here’s a tip that almost all car repair customers miss. Make them SHOW you the parts they replaced. Unless you can see the old, broken or worn parts you will never know if they needed replacing. Protect yourself with this technique and you will avoid the most common ripoff of all; saying parts have been replaced when they simply have not.

By following the advice above you will leave the house with a sense of confidence that if something DOES go wrong, you know what to do. And that is the ultimate weapon to protect yourself against any scam….

Whether it be to your car, or for your online business!

James McCoy KNOWS the car repair business and publishes a FREE ezine with literally HUNDREDS of tips and tricks to help YOU avoid the ripoff trap. These tips can help save you money and give you peace of mind the next time a car repair is needed. To learn more, visit James on the Web at http://www.onlineautotech.com

How Reliable are Cell Phones

Cellular phones and pagers are part of the “now” generation, instant contact, anywhere at any time. People are looking for convenience, comfort and security. The question is how instantaneous and reliable is the contact?

Talking with someone is the main use for a cell phone, yet due to poor reception how often do calls not go through, or important calls “dropped” due to flaky coverage? Let us not forget, that in a time of tragedy, lines were congested and the resounding “all circuits busy” messages were heard from coast to coast. There is certainly room for improvement if you want to reach out and touch someone.

The alternative to voice communication is traditional text messaging, enjoyed by the young as SMS, a ‘hip’ communication method, and the older as the tried and true paging, a trustworthy means of communication. A carrier receives pages or text messages via a traditional dial up modem or Internet connection to their terminal, and then broadcasts the messages over their network to the appropriate wireless device. How instant is sending a text message? The answer might surprise you…it depends.

Traditional means of sending text messages is surprisingly reliable and fast. However, many cellular carriers, wishing to merge technologies while keeping costs down, have opted to utilize email technology to send text messages. Why not, an email is nothing more than a text message, using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). On the surface this sounds like a great idea, nearly everyone has email access, and the use of the Internet streamlines the sending of messages.

What is often overlooked, is the fact that email was not designed to be time sensitive. There can be significant delays and an instantaneous receipt can be lost when sending email to a pager or cell phone. Text messages sent via the email protocol SMTP could take a more scenic delivery route. While in many cases, receiving messages in a timely fashion is not critical; some industries require and benefit from the receipt of urgent messages. It is therefore important to realize and make a distinction between the protocols that are designed for instantaneous communication and those that are not.

If sending messages immediately to a cell phone or pager is required, more reliable protocols are available. When sending text messages, via a modem, the Telocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP) is extremely dependable, albeit slower due to the modem dialing. If sending messages with a high-speed Internet connection use the newer time sensitive Internet protocols: Simple Network Paging Protocol (SNPP) and Wireless Communication Transfer Protocol (WCTP). If your carrier supports these protocols they are the better options for sending important messages.

If carriers understand the “now” generation is about speed and reliability, customer satisfaction will improve. Text messaging is a reliable and useful communication method, especially since voice is not always convenient or possible. With public awareness and urging, carriers will increase their offerings of text messaging protocols. Carriers should offer email or SMTP, but they must also support time sensitive protocols, regardless, of whether the protocols are older such as TAP or newer such as WCTP.
