admin — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 06:36:00 +0000

Car drivers across the UK will be gifted thousands of pounds, disguised as parking fines, today as teams of phoney traffic wardens take to the streets in a countrywide stunt being pulled by T-Mobile.

Famous for featuring unsuspecting members of the public in its TV ads, T-Mobile is turning its attention to motorists and traffic wardens to give them an unexpected surprise in the stunt. Teams of actors and comedians, dressed as traffic wardens, have been employed by the leading mobile communications brand to place reverse-fines on hundreds of legally parked cars across England, Scotland and Wales.

Streets and car parks around the country have been rigged with hidden cameras to capture the reactions of unsuspecting drivers returning to their cars. Millions of people are expected to witness the funniest reactions when they are featured in a new TV ad airing this Friday night at 9.15pm on Channel 5.

In a twist to be captured by the cameras, the imitation parking tickets will, instead of a fine, contain a £5, £10, £20 or £50 note and a good day message from T-Mobile in celebration of the launch of the new You Fix plan. The brand will be giving away thousands of pounds throughout the course of today as it films its Parking Ticket advert.

Drivers parking in and around the surrounding areas of Newcastle, Cardiff, Edinburgh, London, Bristol, Brighton, Birmingham and Manchester are expected to be most likely to receive the special fines. Over £300 million has already been handed out by traffic wardens across the UK in the last 12 months, with these regions some of the worst hit in the UK.

RFID

Radio Frequency Identification tags is the up and coming technology that was created to replace bar codes. These tags will have product information and will be included in packaging so check-out lines will be a faster process.
This is a technology that is still in the future but the cell phone manufacturers are already working on how to include this in the phones. The thought here is that along with the Internet, consumers will be buying things in new ways. This is how it will work.
Every product that is for sale will contain a RFID tag and that tag stays active after you have paid and gone home. A friend likes what you bought and wants one too. All he does is point his cell phone at the tag, he is connected to the Internet and his order is placed. The product is then shipped to his house. Who knows what else this tag will be connected to in the future of our lives, but till then, the bar codes stay and we must be happy with out camera cell phones.

So Many Accessories

There are so many accessories available today for cell phones, you just cannot count them all. Whatever model you now own, it is possible that you have a few accessory manufacturers from which to choose. You can find generic accessories, original equipment and aftermarket manufacturers although the generic ones will generally not be approved by some manufacturers.
A new battery can lengthen you talking time or even the amount of time for stand-by. You can customize you phone with a new faceplate and devices for hands free will at another function to your cell phone. Safety is another consideration to the hands free system as you are driving.
There are phone cases that will protect your phone should you have butter fingers and drop it often and the car charger keeps the battery fully charged so you are never out of service. There are belt clips for those who don’t carry a purse or just want easier access to their phone no matter where they go.

Landlines? Keep or Not

We all use out cell phones for every call we get and make and so we wonder about that landline that never seems to ring anymore. Should it be kept or let it go? This is the questions plaguing many of us today when cutting back anywhere possible is the best thing to do.
The International Telecommunication Union tells us that almost 43% of all phones in America are our faithful companion, the cell phone. Since the year 2000, the FCC has found that the use of landlines has dropped by 37%. With the plan today that have free weekends and nights, why keep that old landline and without this little feature, the cell phone bill would be astronomically high. But there are always pros and cons to everything.
Letting go of the landline will: give you one less bill each month and if you move you phone number stays the same. The cons are: some areas still have no reception, you are not listed in the phone book, and you could use more minutes than you plan allows. If you love your cell phone and are rarely home anyway, go ahead and loose that landline.

Two-Way Talking

Remember when you were a kid and played with two-way radios with your friends? This is something that some wireless companies are bringing out. Push-to-talk works the same way as the radios did and may now be the newest way to talk with others.
Although not new, Nextel has offered this feature for years, and it was used on constructions sites and in large factories where that quick call was efficient. It was called iDen technology by Motorola and these phones were ugly and large. As interest grows, PTT service will be available on more networks and some new phones will have this ability.
It is a very simple process, choose who you want to talk to and press a button. The difference between PTT and a typical cell phone call is that the two people cannot talk at the same time. As time passes, consumers want new things and faster service with ease of use and PTT seems to fit all these requirements. Push a button and contact another, how much easier can it get? So be ready for this to start popping up everywhere and it will be the talk of the town.

Free Cell Phones

There are many deals out there today that will give you a free cell phone. This is done as an incentive by the marketing campaigns to attract new customers. With all the deals going on, it is rare to see someone paying full price for a phone today.
But does free really mean free? Sometimes it is free after you get the rebate in the mail, and that can take months. You still pay for the phone the day you get it, so you still must cough up the cash, but in the long run, yea, it’s free. This is seen as a hassle to many people so they will then look for a phone with an instant rebate.
But even then, is it really free? Notice how some service providers will slip in that activation fee and that can run between $25 and $50. Then you first statement arrives and there is a long list of other fees. State taxes, local taxes, a fee for the 911 connection and other that you just don’t understand. In the end, it’s not really free at all so all you can do is shop around and at least find the lowest activation fee you can. And mail that rebate, no one will be doing that for you.
