Tips For Buying Mobile Phone Insurance

Do you really need mobile phone insurance? The answer depends, of course, on a number of different factors including which mobile you have and how likely you are to lose or damage your mobile – not to mention how many mobiles you’re talking about.

If you favor top of the line trendy models, or have children who do, mobile phone insurance could be a worthwhile investment. That doesn’t mean, however, that you need to pay over the odds for it. There are many reasonably priced options for mobile phone insurance cover.

Why insure my mobile phone?

“I’m always careful”, you might be thinking. “I won’t leave it behind anywhere.” According to last year’s crime statistics, there are over 10,000 mobile phones stolen in the UK each month. Another 3,500 or so get left behind on buses and trains or in cafes, and an astounding 1,200 are dropped down toilets or knocked into sinks. In all, about 15,000 mobile phones are reported lost, stolen or damaged each and every month.

And the cost can put quite a dent in your budget. While you may have got your mobile free with your phone plan, the phone companies won’t replace your mobile for free or for £29.95. If you want to continue using your contract minutes – and you will be responsible for paying out the remainder of your contract – you’ll need to fork out the full price for a replacement phone. In addition, you could be liable for any call charges if your mobile was used before it’s loss is discovered. The cost of losing your mobile phone can easily top £500. Have you got a spare £500 sitting around?

Do I really need mobile phone insurance?

Perhaps not. Mobile phone insurance can cost you anywhere from £25 to £150 annually, depending on the insurance carrier that you choose. If you can reasonably replace your mobile phone for less than that, then mobile phone insurance is probably not a worthwhile expense for you. If you hae a replacement phone – perhaps left since your last upgrade – and your mobile provider still supports it, you may be fine without mobile insurance. In most cases, though, you’ll find that it can be worth the expense – especially if you shop around for competitively priced mobile phone insurance.

Tips for getting the best value mobile phone insurance

1. Don’t automatically accept mobile phone insurance when you buy your mobile. Those tend to be the priciest premiums of all.

2. If the salesperson or web site promises “Free Mobile Insurance” with all phones or with selected phones, be sure to check the details. In many cases, the cover is free for the first month. After the first month of cover, the regular premium will be tacked onto your mobile account charges, where you may not even realize you’re paying it.

3. Speaking of not realizing – are you already covered? If you’ve had the phone a bit and are just now thinking of insuring it, check the itemized details for your last account statement to be sure you’re not already paying for insurance.

4. Shop around the independent insurers. You can get economy cover for a mobile worth up to £150 for as little as £2.49 per month – less than half what most of the major insurers are charging.

5. Consider an increase to your home and contents cover if you have many electronic and mobile devices that you carry with you. You can extend your contents insurance to cover your mobile devices, including your phone, PDA, PSP and other electronics when you take them out of your home.

6. Got a family of mobiles? Nearly 80% of the phones reported stolen or lost belong to teens. If you’re insuring more than one phone, look for a company that will cover multiple mobiles on one policy.

Mobile Search – The Next Big Thing?

Annual mobile phone sales are predicted to hit 1 billion by 2009 and there are already 4 times as many internet-enabled phones in the world than there are PC’s.

According to Dotmobi (www.dotmobi.net), one third of the global population are connected via mobile phones today and approximately half are expected to be using a mobile Internet phone by 2008. An IPSOS survey suggests that 29% of mobile phone users in the UK searched for news and information on their handset during 2005.

The statistics are impressive and will get any marketers pulse racing. But it does seem as if we’ve been hearing about the potential of mobile search market for some time, and yet very few travel companies appear to be active in the mobile search space and mobile e-commerce revenues are still modest.

Up until now most advertisers have been ignoring mobile as a marketing channel, according to a new report by Forrester Research called “Interactive Marketing Channels to Watch in 2007.” It suggests that only 13 percent of marketers use mobile text message ads and only 11 percent bother advertising on wireless application protocol (WAP) sites. It seems clear that advertisers are waiting for evidence that the market is there before deciding to jump in themselves.

Barrier and limitations to growth

Despite the huge number of people that have access to the mobile internet there are a number of barriers to mobile web adoption. For example;

1. Cost and clarity – carrier data plans can be expensive and confusing compared to normal internet access plans.

2. Screen Size – the limited screen size of many hand sets negatively impacts the user’s browsing experience.

3. Ease of use – due to the limited screen size there is an increased number of clicks needed to get to content.

4. Lack of content – there is a ‘walled garden’ approach to the content offered by many mobile network operators which means that not all mobile users get full access to content.

Competition – the WiFi explosion

Another factor that may have impacted on the growth of mobile internet usage is the increasing availability of high-speed WiFi internet access in many public areas. Airports, hotels, bars, libraries and commercial shopping centres are increasingly offering WiFi, and it’s often free. This has encouraged users to use laptops and PDA’s to access the internet while on the move rather than through mobile phones.

Mobile is the perfect advertising platform

Despite these barriers to growth travel companies cannot afford to ignore the e-commerce and marketing potential of this platform. All of the barriers to growth outlined above will be overcome over time as technology improves and network and content providers adapt their services to facilitate the growth. The issue is not really whether the mobile search market will make an impact, but how it will make an impact.

In many ways mobile is the perfect advertising platform. It’s always with the consumer, it’s always on, it provides personal profiling data, it provides location data, it’s interactive and it has multiple billing options already built in.

At present the major bulk of mobile searches are related to ring tones, news, entertainment, maps and directions, directory listings, local restaurants and other local services. As many as 60,000 UK users a day are checking train times on their mobile phones.

Local search is clearly the natural mobile advertising opportunity. Going forward, more complex searches and bigger transactions will become viable as technology advances and users become more comfortable with using their handsets for searching.

In a recent Travelmole interview, Nancy Lyndhurst, the product manager for O2, said some of the larger travel brands like Cathay Pacific, Accor Hotels and KLM are already successfully marketing with mobile technology. She also cites the example of Lastminute who received a £3,000 holiday booking online from a customer using their mobile telephone.

Mobile marketing spend to reach $11 billion by 2011

A recent report by the telecom division of Informa Group stated that advertisers are expected to spend a massive $11 billion on mobile marketing by 2011. Optimistic predictions like this have compelled the major search engines to start making significant investment in the future of mobile search themselves.

Google have predicted that their own mobile division, based in London, will “become the biggest driver of new business” for the company.

Google has developed its own mobile search engine and has signed a number of deals to provide mobile search services to major operator portals. Motorola have even agreed to add a dedicated “Google” button to some of its hand sets. LG, one of the top 5 mobile firms in the world, have announced that they will start to ship handsets pre-loaded with Google services from this month.

Yahoo has unveiled a new application called Yahoo Go Mobile which makes its various services available on certain phones. Not to be outdone, Microsoft launched Live Search for Mobile in February at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona.

There are also a number of start ups like Jumptap and Medio who will be bringing services to the new mobile search space.

It’s clear that the major search properties, in partnership with the phone manufacturers and network services, are intent on driving the mobile search sector forward. With this kind of momentum there’s no doubt that mobile search marketing will eventually become a major part of online marketing, it’s just a question of when. Could 2007 be the year of mobile search?

Using Mobile Marketing To Increase Business And Sales

Technology allows us to do many things. We can go anywhere at top speed, see anything as instantly as it happens, and buy anything from any location. Technology also allows us to advertise on anything. Mobile marketing uses technology to advertise on mobile devices, such as cell phones and tablets. The advice in this article will get you started with mobile marketing.

Keep your material clean in order to keep your brand clean. Sending out raw, unfiltered material, even if you think it’s worthy of attention, can be detrimental to your mobile marketing efforts. Things don’t have to be outlandish to draw attention. They just have to be worthy of someone’s time.

A key tip to a mobile marketing campaign is to stay focused on what your customers want and need. In order to do this you have to get inside your customers head and think about what they are looking for in contrast to what you want to provide. You only have a few seconds to grab their attention so use it wisely.

Build exclusivity and status into your mobile marketing. Mobile devices themselves have become aspirational. Phones, tablets and even some mobile apps have become symbols of status. Follow suit with your mobile marketing by offering exclusive content to your mobile readers or downloads only available to those who have subscribed for mobile messaging.

Don’t forget email when you are building your mobile marketing strategy. Modern smart phones have rich email clients or the ability to open web-based email clients like Gmail or Yahoo. If you are targeting mobile users with your email campaign, be sure to optimize you email creative to make sure it is effective on a smaller screen.

Make sure that your website is mobile-friendly. Your mobile-friendly site should not be cluttered with graphics, and should only include basic but important information about your business that a mobile user can quickly get to. Mobile users do things quickly, and your site must display efficiently on their mobile devices if you want them to visit you often.

Use mobile marketing to get more personal with your reader. Telling a story about your company or giving a testimonial, creates an emotional reaction within the reader, which can endear him or her to your sales pitch. The more that your readers feel they know your company and what you represent, the more likely they are to be proud to buy from you.

Do not use text abbreviations in your mobile marketing message. While it is acceptable for person to person communication, it looks unprofessional coming from a business. Also avoid using all caps in your message. Your consumers will feel like they are being yelled at. However, it is acceptable to use all caps in your call to action.

As stated before in the article above, we can do many things with technology. We can go anywhere, see anything, and even advertise on anything. With mobile marketing, anyone can advertise on any mobile platform, whether it is a cell phone or tablet. Using the advice from this article, you can use mobile marketing to advertise anything.

Mobile Poker from Ongame. Part two.

Very important feature at the mobile poker room is statistics option. You can view best hands (online or offline mode), game statistics (real money, play money, or offline tournaments) and hand history. The game statistics can be reset at any time – this will then reset all the previously saved details.

I wouldn’t specially review the network as a whole or a particular mobile pokerroom, it has been already done briefly in the “Mobile poker room reviews”.

Here I shall turn our attention to the problem of selection a certain mobile poker room to play. As for me, I played in mobile PokerRoom, because I have an account there, plus I wanted to have a look at their mobile casino games. I would rather put it like this: if you are interested only in poker as such, and you don’t need a mobile casino or sportsbook then play in EuroPoker, they specialize in this game; they have bonuses and various poker promotions. BWin is not that generous in respect to the mobile casino bonuses, but from one account you can play at their mobile casino as well as place a bet the sportsbook.

PokerRoom besides poker has also a casino (you can use a joint account), but worth mentioning, the mobile CasinoRoom offers now only one game – blackjack. The game weighs a bit less comparing to the other mobile casinos, – only 95 Kb, graphics is good, but a bit too fine, maybe because of the fact that they offer a game up to five boxes. I personally gave it a try and played simalteneously at two. The table limite is wide enough – $1-$300, I played at $3. The game was relatively smooth, though rather often there were series of 3-5 wins or 3-5 losses. I got a record win series – 12 wins in a row (and 5 losses at maximum)! Easy to guess, I finished my play session with not bad winnings. It resulted in 50 wins, 45 losses and 5 ties. The blackjacks let me down only ones, but with a double downs was OK: won 8 out of 10. As you can imagine, I enjoyed that! One of the most distinctive features of the mobile poker room is the ability for users to make deposits and withdrawals to and from a real money account via their mobile phone, as well as depositing via Moneybookers.

Other mobile poker rooms.
As I have already mentioned, there are not many mobile poker rooms yet. Factually, I could find the info on the mobile poker at PartyPoker web site, but they only have mobile Poker Trainer with a simple poker bot to sharpen your poker skills.

Also, it is necessary to mention Ultimate Bet mobile poker room, with software developed by Phantom Fiber. The problem with this mobile poker room is that comparing the room with Ongame, mobile poker players have no access to the online poker tables. Ongame has some limits, but the player is able to have access from the phone to the same tables, as online player. With Ultimate Bet, access is given only to special tables for a mobile poker version.

Mobile casinos as well as mobile poker companies definitely would be adding more games selection to the Mobile Gaming software, so keep an eye out for new additions.

Mobile Homes And Property Taxes In Wisconsin

In Wisconsin the assessment of a mobile home only has to be done from the point of view meaning the outside can be used to assess the mobile home, however an inside assessment does help. Mobile homes only have to be assessed every five years, therefore the assessed value and the market value are with in ten percent of each other. Mobile homes in Wisconsin can be assessed for taxes as personal or real property. This also means a mobile home may be subject to no property taxes.

If you have a mobile home that is on a foundation, it is considered a real property. If it is on wheels or no foundation, it is considered personal property. It also has to be on land owned by the mobile home owner. Therefore, if you do not own the land and there is no foundation to say, it is personal property and not subject to property taxes. Recreational vehicles and campers are not subject to property taxes as well as personal tax liabilities as well. Just because a mobile home has wheels, does not always make it exempt from property taxes.

Property tax laws governing mobile homes are difficult to understand whether you live in Wisconsin or any other state. Many things are considered before you are liable for property taxes. You might think your mobile home should be subject to property taxes, but the taxing authority may consider it a personal tax issue. A mobile home is also measured for the length and width, which helps an assessor determine if it qualifies for property taxes. This will give the square footage of the mobile home, which has to be a minimum of so many square feet to be considered a dwelling with potential property tax liability.

If your mobile home is subject to a fee for parking that is common with mobile parks, your mobile home is not charged property taxes. This is because you do not own the property and you are paying rent to park your mobile home in the park. Therefore, you owe no property taxes. You are however required to pay the parking fee that can be a nice size amount of money. This is besides your monthly payment owed to a lender who holds the lien on the mobile home. You will however have to claim the mobile home as a personal tax.

Property taxes in Wisconsin for mobile homes are as follows, mobile homes subject to property taxes are any size on a foundation with utilities hooked up on land that is owned by the mobile home owner, but they are subject to personal tax but only if there is no parking fee paid. Exempt from property taxes are recreational mobile homes and campers as well as vans and buses. Units that are on wheels and transported to a site for assembly of sections are subject to property taxes, this would be a twin section unit. Mobile homes for sale on a dealer’s lot are not subject to property taxes in Wisconsin as well.

Gone are the days when people used bulky and large mobile phone devices which in the contrary to its size, only incorporated the basic and simple features. With the technology and trend, mobile phones have become sleek, slim, fashionable and sophisticated.

What Exactly is an Intel Centrino Mobile Notebook?

There has been a lot of confusion over the use of the term Intel Centrino and what it actually means. An Intel Centrino mobile notebook is actually a combination of Intel products, including what is marked as the Intel Centrino mobile laptop processor, put together to create a wireless networking, high performance Intel Centrino mobile notebook.

When wireless networking became popular, Intel introduced the Intel Centrino mobile notebook concept to make it easier for people to get a wireless networking computer. Instead of fishing around for the right parts and the like, Intel effectively made a package that would give them these things they were looking for. The specifications for an Intel Centrino Mobile Notebook cover an Intel chipset, a Pentium M Processor (often referred to as an Intel Centrino mobile laptop processor) and Intel PRO/Wireless Network Connection. In fact, any Intel Centrino Mobile Notebook is basically an all Intel machine. Practically all of the internal parts will be Intel parts.

The Intel Centrino Mobile Laptop processor is an Intel Pentium M Processor. Confusion between the Pentium M processor and Centrino is common, but the Pentium M is part of the Centrino package. This processor is a variant on the Pentium processors from their desktop range, but with lots of different technologies and additions, making them quite different from the desktop versions. There are a number of Intel Centrino mobile laptop processors offered with the Sonoma revision of Intel Centrino mobile laptop technology. Intel Pentium M processors 780, 770, 760, 750, 740 and 730. They also offer Low voltage models in the 778 and 758 as well as two Ultra Low voltage models, the 753 and 733J. All of the Intel Centrino mobile laptop processors use 90nm manufacturing process, 2MB of L2 cache and various other technologies, including the Execute Disable Bit with the models that have a J at the end.

The Intel Centrino mobile laptop processors have some specific benefits which make them suitable for the mobile environment. One of the most obvious of the Intel Centrino mobile laptop processor is the low volatage design. Low voltages allow Intel Centrino mobile notebooks to have lower power consumption, lengthening running time. As well as this there is technology to raise of drop the voltage of an Intel Centrino mobile notebook as necessary, further saving power.

Intel Centrino mobile notebooks also come with the Mobile Intel 915 Express Chipset. This chipset specifically designed for Intel Centrino mobile notebooks provides many new features that the older Intel Centrino mobile notebooks did not offer. Some of the most notable are the addition of SATA, PCI Express X16 for graphics, PCIe for the other cards internally and DDR2 400/533MHz. It is desgined specifically with the Intel Centrino mobile laptop processor in mind.

For Intel Centrino mobile laptops SATA provides an increase in the performance of hard drives and DVD drives. This technology allows for faster transfer of information which speeds up all applications. PCI Express X16 is a breath of fresh air for those who are looking to get better graphics from their system and in particular, those who would like to play 3D games, which using the more recent Intel Centrino mobile notebooks has become more feasible. The internal PCI Express should also allow for speed increases for parts, and helps to pass more strain away from the Intel Centrino mobile laptop processor.

Most beneficial for the Intel Centrino mobile laptop is the addition of DDR2 400/533MHz memory. DDR2 not only offers speed increases over the older DDR, but most importantly for mobile technology is that it consumes less power, just like the Intel Centrino mobile laptop processor. Power saving is an everpresent concern for laptop users who have to work with limited battery life.

Intel Centrino mobile notebooks also include technology for wireless networking. Although this is nothing new, the technology has been improved and updated, supporting the latest technologies. There is much increased security from the newer Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG and 2200BG which increase security, have higher performance, better ease-of-use and better power management, allowing power saving. In short it is a fully featured card that gives everything you could need. It is specifically aimed at meeting the stringent needs of the business user who chooses an Intel Centrino mobile notebook.

The benefits of the Intel Centrino mobile laptop processor and Intel Centrino mobile laptop technology are clear and although you can get the same things from other combinations of parts there is a certain comfort in the combination. It allows you to be fairly certain of what to expect from your laptop and how much it will perform. Intel Centrino mobile notebooks have been around for a while now and on the whole there is a good reason they are so popular. The Intel Centrino mobile laptop processor in an Intel Centrino mobile laptop has become almost synonymous with mobile networking for laptops.

The technologies like telephone and wireless communication been invented more or less in the same period (actually in late 1870’s), soon after these two combined to give us the model for today’s mobile phone. People later started using these radio phones fitted inside their cars and its antennas been mounted on the top. However, because of lesser channels available, more people were not able to use these radiophones. To add, you can compare that day mobile phone to a CB radio or a walkie-talkie to understand it better.

The Malcontent of the Term “Mobile Content”

The following article discusses how to better convert a web user to a mobile user and the challenges that lie within.
We all know the immutable laws of web site conversion can be summarized as follows:
1. You have less than eight seconds to capture a web page visitor
2. Once captured, the next click must be obvious
3. Once clicking, minimize the steps needed to complete the desired action
The difficulty lies in maximizing information in a minimized process. You must be able to present what the majority need to see to complete your desired action. There will always be those who seek more information and tangents can be provided for them. Now, add another dimension to the “desired action” by making that action something that you wish for them to do offline. That, my friends, is largely the challenge that we have at www.4INFO.net. Not to take anything away from our web search service, because it does try to do something that the other engines do not by actually giving you an answer and not pointing you to one elsewhere (see 4INFO Blog: 4INFO’s Bond. James Bond & Focused Search). But, getting a user to make the leap from, “I can get all of this info from my computer,” to, “I have access to all this info when I am NOT in front of my computer,” can be challenging. Especially, when dealing with an industry that hasn’t quite settled on what to call the segments within it. Mobile search’s popularity is increasing every day, yet there is still an opportunity to sanity check the terms we use to describe the industry.
There are four terms that we use on a regular basis in the world of 4INFO mobile. These are, Mobile Content, Mobile Download, Mobile Information, and Mobile Search.
Before we get into how these terms apply in the mobile sense, let’s first look at what they mean in a general (and very simplified) sense:
Content
Something contained. The proportion of a specified substance present in something else.
Download
To transfer a file or program from a one computer to another computer.
Information
Knowledge derived from study, experience, or instruction. Knowledge of specific events or situations that has been gathered or received by communication
Search
To make a thorough examination of; look over carefully in order to find something; explore.
Now that we have these definitions in front of us, let’s look at the industry’s current definition of Mobile Content. [per Wikipedia] Mobile content is any type of media formatted for mobile phones, like ringtones, graphics, games and movies. The use of mobile content has grown dramatically. Ringtones, for instance, are currently (2005) the most widely used mobile media forms. A mobile game is a piece of content that is installed on mobile phones so that the user can play the video game right no their mobile handset. A wallpaper is simply a graphic that is formatted to fit the screen of hand held devices, mainly cell phones.
At 4INFO, we define the remaining terms as follows:
A mobile download is a piece of content (ringtone, wallpaper, game, audio, video, etc.) that is transferred from a host location to a mobile device.
Mobile information is comprised of the categories of services that we provide via our suite of search channels, such as local directory, sports scores, fantasy stats, weather, flight schedules, movie times, and stock quote searches, to name a few. These impart knowledge through communication with our servers.
Therefore, mobile search is the process of locating mobile downloads and mobile information via a mobile device.
So, where does this term “mobile content” come into play? I believe that you can shorten the above statement to read, “Mobile search is the process of locating mobile content via a mobile device.” For this case, the definition of “mobile content” must add “mobile information” to its list of attributes.
But, that is not what I would do.
What does the consumer think? I took a quick poll of 10 non-mobile search types, where I simply asked them to define the four phrases that we’ve been discussing. I realize this technique will not go down in the annals of mobile research, but if there is one thing to take from it – every single person defined a “mobile download” the same way, while fewer than half stated a definition of “mobile content” similar to that in Wikipedia.
I am not content with the term Mobile Content. Let’s get rid of it.
I have been dealing with these terms over the past several months as we have been redesigning the 4INFO web site in an effort to address these types of issues. It didn’t occur to me to write this post until I read a statement by the Pondering Primate earlier this week where he said, “Every time we hear the phrase ‘mobile search’ let’s replace it with ‘mobile info.’”
At first, I whole-heartedly agreed with him. Then, I turned around to resume testing 4INFO’s new Mobile Downloads Search service and realized that “mobile search” is more than just locating “mobile information.” It is also the location of “mobile downloads” now that 4INFO has this service in beta.
Mobile search is the process of locating mobile downloads and mobile information via a mobile device.
That’s my stake in the ground and I am here to defend it.
