mobile phones

Starting October 25 , 2006 " number portability " has been implemented here in Japan. This is good news to those who wants to change cellphone companies but do not because it would mean changing numbers. Imagine if you have many friends, workmates , families and so on to inform that you changed number. Ugggh!

No more of that hassle . Even my husband is now planning to change from NTT Docomo ( the biggest company so far , to either Au or to Softbank ( formerly vodaphone ). Me, nah..I like Docomo, besides almost everybody I know has docomo phones so its cheaper to call or mail them. Although I must admit there are new and trendier phones with more hi-tech functions.

There are so many to choose from. If you are a music lover, Au is best for you. Their phones are like portable audio devices.

If you dont want to miss the news , sports event or your favorite korean drama you might want to change to Softbank. You can now watch TV on your celphones. Cool, huh! Mauubos kaagad ang battery nyan, heheh! Plus, you can now access yahoo. Check your yahoo mail, play yahoo games , listen to music . And you can shop and watch out for yahoo auctions. Very convenient no !

that is my phone above with the docomo mascot as strap, unbalance combination eh!!

Docomo also has many nice features. Aside from colorful emoji ( characters ) , and flashy templates for your mail you can also see on real time who you're talking to. Good thing for wives to check out where the husband is, hhahahahahah!! And much more!

There are also phones with GPS. Usually an added feature to the cute kiddie celphones. Let the parents know where their child is. More and more parents are buying their small kids with this kind of phone, for safety reasons .



kwento ni hubby - his friend works for a sales company and ever since they were using their private celphones for work related calls. ( my hubby has 2 phones, his own and one alloted to him by his office.) Anyway, they complained to their boss that their monthly bills are way up and they requested that the company allot them phones. The president of the company was reluctant at first but he finally agreed. But with one condition...all his salesmen phones must have GPS system. The celphone company set up a page at their boss's computer that he can check or see where a certain employee is.
First the company thought that they added extra expenses but to their surprise..., sales has doubled , tripled or more since .

Guess why?? Because the salesmen haven't really been working earnestly before but since the gps celphones, they know that their boss will be checking their every move. Thats why ! *hahahahhahah*

Hay naku , maraming bagong pakana ang mga phone companies. Marami ang nagpapalit ng phone taon -taon kasi nga palaging may bagong tricks. I know someone na papalit-palit din ng phone. Hi bee , planning to change your phone again?
