			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When looking to purchase a new mobile phone, or mobile phone contract, or anything for that matter these days, I always read the independent consumer reviews. I have recently been looking for a pay as you go mobile phone for my girlfriend for Christmas and as a result, I spent some time read the virgin mobile consumer reviews. Now, I must stress, I have been a Virgin Mobile user since around 2005 / 2006 and can count on one hand how many times my call has dropped or I&#8217;ve lost service. For the most part, it&#8217;s been fantastic. Even when I&#8217;ve had to call customer support to register my debit card or reset my security information, they&#8217;ve always been great. So, it was to my surprise that there are so many bad virgin mobile consumer reviews? I guess these guys are just seriously, seriously unluck as I would consider Virgin one of the better networks out there.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re considering purchasing a pay as you go mobile. I seriously recommend giving Virgin a try. You certainly won&#8217;t spend hours waiting for support like you do with O2 and the handsets they offer are pretty neat too!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re anything like me, as soon as you buy a new mobile phone you&#8217;ll want to change your laptop in order to get something to match. You can&#8217;t have one new piece of mobile hardware without the other after all. As a result of recently changing my mobile phone, I have decided to delve into the world of notebooks, <a href="http://www.broadband-expert.co.uk/laptops/">laptops</a> and other portable computers. Now, it must be said that I am no expert on laptops and often just simply go for the cheapest ones out there, which is wrong I know. From experience, the best place to find <a href="http://www.broadband-expert.co.uk/laptops/cheap-laptops.php">cheap laptops</a> is the Internet. That might sound obvious, but the last time I was in PC World I noticed a string of people buying machines at horrendous prices! There a lot of good laptops out there at the minute with my favourite easily being the new MacbookPro although it is a little large for my needs. I am also considering purchasing a netbook. We all know that <a href="http://www.broadband-expert.co.uk/netbooks/">netbooks</a> will be the next big thing in 2009 so I am thinking I should buy one now to beat the crowds. I have got my eye on a Macbook Air which is small enough to be considered a netbook but big enough to do some work on also. I&#8217;ll keep you posted.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all know that cell phones make absolutely fantastic Christmas presents and from experience, the first thing we want to do when we get a new cell phone is get some great ringtones. Then we take photos of the family! Ringtones have been popular for many years and especially at Christmas time with most mobile phone ringtones providers doing some of their best business on Christmas day and the days following. Whichever network you&#8217;re on you&#8217;ll be able to find and download some great tunes such as <a href="http://www.mobayou.com/Ringtones/ATT-Ringtones/">ATT Ringtones</a> or even <a href="http://www.mobayou.com/Ringtones/TMobile-Ringtones/">TMobile Ringtones</a> within minutes. There is nothing better than annoying your family with a new ringtone during the Christmas dinner either. Whether you&#8217;re looking to download the ever popular classics such as the tubular bells or the great escape or you simple want to download some <a href="http://www.mobayou.com/Ringtones/Flycell-Ringtones/">flycell</a> ringtones - Christmas is the time to do it.</p>
<p>I can never understand with so many great cell and mobile phones out there with so many different manufacturers, why can they never, ever include some decent ringtones straight out of the box. The standard ringtones which comes with most cell phones these days seem to be getting worse and worse so getting yourself a new ringtone is almost compulsory! Have fun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>VoIP communication is proving extremely popular these days,<a href=""></a> especially within the gaming community, in particular, via the Ventrilo software application. Ventrilo is a client / server system that operates using the VoIP (voice over internet protocol) platform and allows users to communicate using Voice, for free, real time. It is because of this that Ventrilo has become particularly popular within the gaming community with many clans / gamer groups opting to take out a private server to host the Ventrilo application and then each user connect in turn via their clients to allow for communication.</p>
<p>Of course, due to the popularity of Ventrilo these days, there are a number of hosts offering hosting for such a service. A particularly favourite host of mine, especially for <a href="http://ugt-servers.com/">Guild Ventrilo Servers</a> is UGT. These guys offer a wide range of packages and options to suit any user / clan or guild and the features on offer are second to none with their feature rich control panel and multiple location options just a couple of what is on offer.</p>
<p>The UGT website also offers you the opportunity to <a href="https://ugt-servers.com/download-ventrilo.php">Download Ventrilo</a> for your Windows based computer or Mac so you can connect to your Ventrilo server after setup.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Touch screen phones are becoming so popular since the introduction of the iPhone that we thought we&#8217;d better jump on the bandwagon and offer a quick review of the <a href="http://www.phones2udirect.co.uk/details/All/988/All/Samsung_F480_Tocco.html">Samsung F480 Tocco</a>. It was only a matter of time before Samsung jumped in on the action with all the major players now offering touch screen models. Even Nokia, although at least they&#8217;re offering the option of buttons in tandem!</p>
<p>The phone itself has many features including the usual array of icons but our personally favourite feature of this handset lies in its construction. In particular, the brushed metal finish which really sets it apart from its plastic look and feel counterparts. This feature is seldom seem in other <a href="http://www.phones2udirect.co.uk/">Cheap Mobile Phones</a>.</p>
<p>Of course, the phone looks good and on the surface, the software looks usable and on par with its competitors, however there have been reports of dropped calls and overall poor quality when using this particular model from Samsung which might put off some buyers who want the phone as a phone and not simply a gadget to impress friends with.</p>
<p>Still, overall, it&#8217;s a good little phone and would make a great Christmas present. You can find many great <a href="http://www.phones2udirect.co.uk/details/All/988/All/Samsung_F480_Tocco.html">Samsung F480 deals</a> online.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.starconferencing.com/">Conference calling</a> has really took off over the past few years, mainly due to the technology available to businesses and the costs involved. Hosting <a href="http://www.starconferencing.com/">conference calls</a> used to only be possible if you had a large, complex and often expensive phone system but that is no longer the case. There are numerous third party providers popping up on the market that allow you to host a full <a href="http://www.starconferencing.com/">conference call</a> via their own system. The way this works is quite simple. You either pre-pay for a set amount of minutes (in a similar way you would with a pay as you go mobile phone) or you take out a contract which includes free monthly usage minutes. You can simply arrange a time with the other participants of the call and all dial into the system. Obviously you will not always have a dedicated call number to yourself, so the meeting will be assigned a pin code which when entered, places all participants of the call in the same group.</p>
<p>Due to the amount of calls that the third party providers are hosting, the costs involved are legible as they effectively have one complex system and resell a portion of it on a month to month basis. This also opens up doors to companies who wants to appear professional and hold conference calls but have been previously unable to do so.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my day job, we have to support a large amount of clients using our software and have been considering outsourcing our telephone support to a third party for some time now. The <a href="http://www.techteam.com/">help desk</a> of any company is the after sales front line and should always be of the highest quality. There is nothing worse than calling a company for support and not getting the answers you desire to your technical queries. This can be extremely stressful. We feel that by outsourcing our <a href="http://www.techteam.com/">help desk services</a> we can provide customers with support of the highest quality as and when they need it.</p>
<p>There are several companies that offer excellent <a href="http://www.techteam.com/">help desk outsourcing</a> solutions that enable companies to move their entire support operation to a third party that have the necessary training in your product and service, but not only that, they have the training on how to deal with customers / clients in a relaxing, stress free way to convey the information they desire.</p>
<p>We all need to use a help desk from time to time, we&#8217;re not all experts at everything and if you&#8217;re anything like me, you&#8217;ll want to speak with someone who knows what they&#8217;re doing at the end of the line.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having just purchased an iPhone 3G (unlocked, sorry Apple), I am almost starting to regret it. I was a Blackberry user for many years and kinda liked using the QWERTY keyboard - even if it did look stupid. Now, I am not a serial texter, nor do I use my iPhone 3G as an &#8220;Internet Communication Device&#8221; often - but I just can&#8217;t get used to this touch screen keyboard. I almost find myself impressed when it matches the letter I want when I press it as opposed to it actually being practical. I mean, say you&#8217;re writing a sentence. Do you guys with iPhones write the sentence, as you would say as on your computer (or Blackberry) or do you find yourself spending twice the time writing sentence only to be happy that it has matched your key presses / touches as opposed to actually completing what you want to say?</p>
<p>I must say, I think the reason that the networks are charging such a high price for the iPhone is because they know that it is going to wipe out text messaging / SMS globally, well, not quite, the geeks will still use it but I know my girlfriend with her nails has no chance. I think the networks are losing / going to lose a vast amount of money in the SMS market with these devices. I know I personally put off doing a text to someone if I am in two minds, purely because I don&#8217;t have the time to key / delete / key / delete / key / key space <img src='http://www.phoneid.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Sorry, bit of a rant! I love my iPhone 3G, I just look at it on my desk looking all pretty - hoping nobody texts me wanting a reply.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From time to time, we call have to call different countries. I personally have a lot of contacts in different countries and I am always looking for ways to call them, cheaper than I am doing currently - which sometimes proves difficult! One method I have been trying recently is using <a href="http://www.nobelcom.com/nobelcom/html/international-phone-cards.html">International Phone Cards</a>. Whilst I have never been the biggest fan of using phone cards, the savings these days are unreal and with the features included from the newer / more popular phone card providers, it&#8217;s so much easier.</p>
<p>One of the better providers I have found is <a href="http://www.nobelcom.com/">nobelcom calling cards</a>. These guys have some of the best international calling card rates on the Internet allowing anyone to call any country for a fraction of the price compared to their mobile or home/office landline fone. There is also great support available with all of their packages and options.</p>
<p>I expect some of you may be skeptical, as I was, about trying out calling cards for the first time but it really is simple. NobelCom offer <a href="http://www.nobelcom.com/nobelcom/jsp/freetrial/free_trial_registration.jsp">free phone cards</a> so you can try out the services before purchasing your own calling cards, so if you&#8217;ve been considering giving them a go, now is your chance, and for free!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We here at Phone ID have recently started using calling cards to call our friends and family back home and have saved a vast amount of money in doing so. You can <a href="http://www.enjoyprepaid.com/">enjoy prepaid phone cards</a> too as there are now a large amount of companies offering <a href="http://www.enjoyprepaid.com/enjoyprepaid/jsp/free_trial/free_trial_signup.jsp">free calling cards</a>! Yes, you heard us correctly, you can now get FREE! calling cards. You will be able to call certain destinations, for free, for 15 minutes. We appreciate that you will probably want to talk for longer than 15 minutes, but if you&#8217;re not familiar with phone cards or calling cards, it&#8217;s worth trying it out, just for the experience so you can see how easy it really is. We think the main reason that people are not already saving money is because they don&#8217;t have the knowledge of how to make use of such services. The various free trials around enable you to do this and speak with your friends at the same time!</p>
<p>Calling cards are not just for individuals wanting to call their partners or children, there are also a wide range of <a href="http://www.enjoyprepaid.com/enjoyprepaid/jsp/account/corporate_introduction.jsp">corporate calling cards</a> on the market that are specifically aimed at the business user. The corporate accounts available for calling cards offer unbelievable discounts making calling friends, family and business contacts even cheaper. Corporate accounts also contain the usual features such as pinless dialing, auto recharge and 24/7 customer service.</p>
<p>Anyway, if you often have to call long distances, give the 15 minute trial ago and we guarantee you will be using calling cards here on in.</p>
