A Closer Look at Wireless Communications

Article by Peter Lockett

Wireless communications have developed quite a bit over the years since its introduction as a way to communicate and keep in touch. Even today it continues to advance providing consumers with new ways to communicate. Wireless phones have become excellent tools to keep people connected with other.

Today obtaining a wireless phone is very accessable, and most wireless phone providers even provide free phones as well as free shipping when you select a calling plan. Most stores also offer wireless phones and a good selection as well. The internet also offers an excellent and convenient source for selecting the best wireless phones as well.

There is a large selection of wireless phones and plans to choose from, with each offering unique features. Most offer free minutes and unlimited calling as well. Some consumers even replace their home phone service with their wireless phones and save quite a bit of money as a result. An example of this is what is called the Family SharePlan in which a family is able to consolidate their wireless plans into one calling plan. Family cell phone plans are becoming popular because they allow two or more cell phone subscribers to access a shared pool of minutes and receive a single bill. When coupled with the latest free cell phone deals, a family plan offers maximum value for those who need multiple lines of cell phone service. As a result they save tremendously and also receive unlimited calling.

For those consumers who don?t talk a lot on the phone and who don?t see the need to buy a wireless phone, they can opt for a prepaid phone service. With prepaid phone service you only pay for the minutes used or you pay as you go. Their is no calling plan or contract that you purchase, this has proven to be especially helpful for parents who want to control the phone costs of their children.

Another very popular option and feature with wireless phones is text messaging. Text messaging is a way to send short messages of up to 160 characters using your cell phone. Most cell phones have this feature. Usually you?ll see a ?messaging? option on your menu or ?send text message? choice in your contacts or address book.

According to recent research reports, half of all cell phone subscribers use their phones or mobile devices for something other than just voice services ? this indicates a dramatic upswing in text messaging, IM, wireless web, and email.

Many people text during the work day rather than call to pass along information or ask a question that doesn?t require an immediate answer and because they don?t want to disrupt someone?s day when they might be in a meeting or on another call.

You can send a text message directly to another cell phone number or usually to an email address simply by entering either the number or email address in the to: field. Many phones also offer the option to send messages from the contact list or address book.

Some cell phones have the ability to store pre-set messages for easy and quick sending. If you constantly find yourself sending ?I?m on my way ? I?ll be there in 10 minutes? or ?See you when you get here? then check to see whether your cell phone has that option and save yourself some time and typing.

Text messaging can also be used for entertainment, such as entering competitions, voting on television shows (e.g., American Idol), and interactive games also broadcast through television channels.

Many cell phone plans now include either unlimited text messages or a specific number per month with a cost per message over that allowance (usually ranging from .01 to .25 per message). Costs can vary wildly and it?s easy to lose track of how many messages you are sending and receiving, so you want to check your cell phone plan before you start.

Wireless phones are increasing in popularity with new models being introduced constantly. It is predicted that wireless communication technology will continue to grow as more people continue to include wireless communication in their busy lifestyles.
