I’m back!
Practical use for your cell phone as it relates to a PC…
Went on a vacation to Tennessee. Got a chance to use my new cell phone and get email on there.
I have www.verizonwireless.com. I took a month free trial of Vcast so I would have a small version of Internet with me at all times. Now granted it isn’t going to be able to load a page with too wide of bandwidth, but for email, you just push the corresponding menu # button and away you go.
Then, you select what type of web-based email you have. For example, Yahoo, AOL or Hotmail. There are others, but those are the main three. Since I have Yahoo & Hotmail accounts, it was not a problem. The first time you type in your username and password it is cumbersome.
I did not reply to many of them on my phone, as it takes too long to type in all the characters. Pay attention to the lower corners, they tell you whether or not you’re in ABC, 123 or symbol mode. If you do the @ sign, then you are in symbol mode.
I also sent photos from my phone to my computer and emailed others photos as they happened. It’s a great way to keep in touch, but be warned, if you are going to do this, it will cost $5/month for a package of photo email or .25 each. So, if you are a texter and a photo emailer, then I would suggest the package.
The packages are great for tweens and 20s. I am still looking for a device (I think bluetooth will do it) to transfer photos from this new bluetooth phone (LG8300) to my computers in the office and at home. I eventually want to drop the photo package as I won’t be using it for awhile.
You can always pick it up at some other point again.
Good luck! Keep your comments coming and visit often. Let me know if there’s a topic you’d like covered.
