3G 4G what’s next for cell phones?
Major cell phone service providers like Sprint and Verizon are now changing over to 4G technology throughout the United States and other countries but what does that mean to us who use our cellular phones every day? This means SPEED baby! more and more speed and faster downloads! You can now download movies directly onto your cell phone, then transfer them to a computer.
The forth generation is fastest so far
Forth Generation (4G) is only the latest upgrade to mobile broadband devices that include wireless modems for laptop computers, smart phones, as well as other devices that are considered mobile, portable, or wireless. Where will this race for speed end? How far can the technology go? Only time and constant research and development will tell. And who knows what may come along to replace all this, making it as dated and redundant as land line phones now seem to us? The technology currently in use include HSPA, WiMAX, and LTE or long term evolution and they are constantly upgrading competitively so we can only benefit from their “speed wars”!
Choose a service provider that gives you what you want!
Among all the choices to be had in cellular phone service providers there are a few that stand out and they include Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T. These giants in the industry have broad coverage which means you can make calls to virtually anywhere in the continental U.S. plus you can most likely call Aunt Emma in Pocatello Idaho as well as Grandma Giovanni in Italy. They have much to offer in choices on service plans and the cell phones themselves. Check out web sites for either service providers or cell phone manufacturers to get all the information you can handle, or go by a store for first hand information.
Cell phones can be simple or “smart” depending on what you want
The basic cellular phone offers portability to make phone calls from your home or the local grocery store. You can call from your car (not recommended while driving) or in a restaurant (also not recommended). The basic phone may only work as a means of communication and for emergency situations and that’s about all many people want theirs for. The rest of the world however, wants a game machine that also delivers movies, music, and photos or videos to them from anywhere and at any time. The new “smart” phones provide a lot for very little in return. All they ask for is good reception, high speed communications, and a well charged battery.
So many choices and free phones too!
The service provider users choose will help determine just how much can be available in any given location. The major providers like Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon have plenty to offer and prices will go up accordingly. For instance a new 4G phone from Sprint will cost $49.99 with free shipping and with the addition of a family plan you can get lots of phone time minutes plus all the text messaging and web or e-mail time thrown in for around $70 a month. Additional sprint promo coupon codes may help to curb the cost even further. Verizon is also one of the best providers around. Verizon coupons when available can help trim costs even more. Other major providers have similar offers, some even throw in the cell phone for free when you sign on for a two year contract!
