The Difference between Smartphones and Cell Phones

admin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0000

To make this distinction easier for people who aren’t quite in the know, one popular example of each will be used. For the smartphones, the example will be the Apple iPhone and for the cell phones, we’ll use the Motorolla Razr.

Believe it or not there is quite a difference between the smartphone and the cell phone and it isn’t just limited to the look, the size or the weight. Much of what defines these two are the features and options, or lack thereof.

With iPhone, you have a touch-screen interface with hundreds of apps and access to clear wireless internet, 4G or any other mobile broadband service. This allows you to accomplish more on your phone without having to fire up the home computer – shopping, downloading music, watching television episodes, etc.

The Razr, while advancing and improving over the years, still doesn’t have the same capacity, potential or level of convenience and functionality that smartphones have. There’s less to do on a cell phone which makes them less comfortable to use.

What it all comes down to is convenience. People want convenience. The iPhone and most smartphones like it are simply more convenient than most cell phones on the market, and that’s the big different.

Three Things You Should Look For In A Cellphone

Shopping for a cellphone is a daunting task, whether you already own a cellphone or want to upgrade or replace your existing phone. Cellphones come in numerous styles, designs and with different features, making the selection process more difficult because there’s so many out there to choose from. With all the choices, ads and deals available for cellphones on the market today, it’s easy to overlook the three main things you must consider before buying any cellphone.

Service Area

Different service providers offer different cellphones for use on their networks. You might find the perfect phone for your price range and with your desired features, but if the carrier doesn’t provide adequate coverage for your area, the phone will be useless. Check with each provider before buying a phone to make sure the phone will work correctly in the places you need to use it. Many providers have coverage maps by zip code available online; the maps will show you exactly where phone coverage will be weak and strong.

The Plan

Promotional cellphone plans offer many discounts to new customers, but make sure you read all fine print and understand what you’re signing up for before you buy a plan phone. Check out all plans for the cellphones you are considering. Terminating a cellphone contract early will cost you money in fees.

Features and Functions

Once you’ve confirmed coverage and plan details, you’ll need to decide on a cellphone. Focus on phones with features that meet your specific needs. For example, if you don’t plan to take a lot of photos but will be text messaging, you should look at phones that have text messaging features, such as keypad shortcuts or a virtual or physical keyboard, without focusing on the camera quality. Avoid being distracted by features and functions you’ll never really need.

Cellphones That Work Within Your Budget

Prepaid plans are simply plans that keep you out of being locked into a cell phone contract. A lot of people pay a high monthy bill for minutes that they really don’t use. Paying for minutes as you need them allows you more control.
I had a contract cell phone that costed me over 80.00 a month. I only made around 1,100 each month, and my rent and other bills came out to over half of that. Being a low income worker I have to make every penny in my budget work for me and try to save at the same time.I found some more information here. Paying a cell phone bill that costed that much was just not smart.
I went out and got a prepaid phone that costs 1.99 to talk unlimited every day. The minimum amount you can buy is a 15.00 card. When I need to get online I go to the library for a few hours and send Facebook messages instead of texting. The internet shouldn’t control your life to the point that you are looking at your phone all day. I only talk on the phone every other day, and in a month’s time my bill is only 30.00.
