Tip of the Week

Remember the cell phones of yesteryear with six-inch antennas and handsets larger than toasters? Thankfully those monsters are a thing of the past.

With today’s modern technology, cell phones come in many shapes and sizes that offer comfort and style. There are traditional ones that look like pint-size cordless phones, flip phones with easy-access features, and phones that slide or twist open for talking and gaming. As you can see, phones come in many colors and styles to fit just about anyone's taste.

When shopping for a phone, one should think about how it will be carried. Will it stay inside a purse most of the time, be hand-held, used in a car, or hooked to a waist belt? For those who want to clip their phone to a belt or purse, flip phones are ideal because they are compact, are not uncomfortable to lug around, and offer a large display area with easy-to-read caller id. However, people who plan to use email, text messaging, instant messaging, etc. might rather slide phones that offer mini-keyboards for typing (these phones are also terrific for gamers although they are a bit more pricey than most phones).

The phone chosen will depend on the user but it will likely be with them all the time and therefore should be chosen wisely. Also, the phone should have the ability to perform all of the functions the user wants and needs on a daily basis.
