The internet can be a great place to buy your next cell phone.
How many times have you been in the mall and were harassed by some pushy wireless telephone dealer?
The internet store is a sharp contrast to this type of environment.
On the internet, you can take your time, research a particular phone, and search for the best deals.
In addition to this, internet dealers generally have better cell phone deals than their brick and mortar competitors.
But how do you take advantage of these better deals?
In 2004, the government approved number portability.
Number portability allows you to keep your cell phone number, even if you switch carriers.
The implications of this are crucial for taking advantage of internet cell phone deals.
Internet dealers often offer some very innovative and high end cell phones for free after rebate.
However, to receive these offers, you must also sign up for a new cell phone plan.
If you want to stay with your current carrier, you must sign up for a new phone number along with the new phone plan.
This is because number portability is carrier to carrier (not inter-carrier).
Although you could upgrade your phone and keep your number and carrier, this would not qualify you for most internet offers.
The alternative is to keep your cell phone number (through number portability) and switch carriers.
However, if you choose this option, make sure that you are not under contract with your current provider or you could stand to face a hefty termination charge.
Nevertheless, there are many quality carriers in the marketplace.
Switching carriers should not be that troublesome.
Therefore, these internet cell phone deals have great value for the consumer.
Often, these phones that you can get free after rebate would cost you more than $200 as an upgrade.
As a savvy cell phone consumer, you could select two carriers that you are comfortable with and switch between the two every one or two years (and receive a high quality cell phone free after rebate) in the process.
The internet marketplace holds great value for the cell phone consumer.
Take advantage of these great internet cell phone deals.

Mobile Phone Batteries. What Are Your Options?
by: Will Koh
There are a range of different mobile phone, video camera/camcorder and digital camera batteries out there with varying capacities and battery chemistry. We will explain what the differences are for each battery chemistry and try to clear up the jargon used on the labels of mobile phone batteries. There have been several developments in battery technology and below, we will outline each battery chemistry's features, pros and cons and their applications to mobile phones today.
"Memory Effect" in Batteries
Memory affect refers to the need for certain batteries to be "serviced" by regularly discharging the battery completely before recharging. Ni-Cad batteries are the main type of battery chemistry that requires this cycling and newer types of batteries such as Li-Ion and NiMH do not suffer from memory affect.

Conference Call Etiquette You Need To Know
Conference Call Etiquette You Need To Know
by: D Ruplinger
I have worked for large company for several years and have been on more conference calls, tele-seminars, and tele-training calls than I can remember. Those experiences have led me to develop a list of ?Conference Call Tips and Etiquette? that can help make conference calls more pleasant, run smoother, and help avoid embarrassment. I?m sure the list I?ve put together isn?t all inclusive but it does cover the major things I have experienced or learned about during the course of all those calls I?ve been on.
-- Find a quiet place. Background noise will be heard on the call and it can be very distracting to other participants. If you are at home and have small children playing nearby or have a noisy dog, try to find the quietest part of your house. The other participants on the call will appreciate it. If it is not possible to be away from the noise, mute your phone whenever you are not...
