JAG Communications PORTSWOOD SOUTHAMPTON - Mobile Phone Contracts

Advantages: Staff who know what they're talking about, good selection of phones, discretion used by the staff.
Disadvantages: Small store (not really a criticism)

...AUGUST 2007 When my mobile phone contract ended, I decided to find a better contract. A new JAG store had opened up in Southampton, and had only been open a week so I decided I would go there. In the City Centre there had been loads of people publicising it and I had picked up loads of leaflets that promised really good deals. With that in mind, I set off to find the best phone/contract deal I could! When I first went in to the store, I was immediately asked what I wanted and the staff were very friendly and helped me to choose a phone and contract. As the store had only been open for a week, it was very clean and new, which is always good! I havent been to any other JAG stores though so I cannot compare. The phone I originally wanted was not in stock, so I asked which other phones were as good, if not better. I really...

Review of Jag Communications

A great device for mobile communications

Advantages: Small compact but infinitely useable, beating smart phones such as Blackberry or iphone.
Disadvantages: Not many, I just wish it would work with my router.

...I've carried laptops around, and found them cumbersome and time consuming - the temptation is to carry your full desktop around with you, and eventually this takes a toll on the boot up and close down time which can be frustrating when time is limited. Laptops and motorcycles are not natural partners either, and my personal lappy soon displayed clearly that it was not intended to be carried in a pannier where it was shaken contantly. I've tried a smart phone, but couldn't get along with the tiny keyboard and tiny screen. Fine for people under 40 years, but frustrating when your eyesight begins to deteriorate. Enter the ultra mobile laptop range. The Eee is the size of a paperback, with a real keyboard and touch pad. Mine has an 8gb solid state disc, and 512mb of memory. It runs Linux, but also ships with drivers should I wish to...

Bulky Communicator

Advantages: All features
Disadvantages: Bulky heavy

...Last month when one of my friend bought this phone than i got to get my hands on this new communicator. I was really excited to have it in my hands. The communicator in your hand is always a good feeling for one who understands the its importance. the main things i noticed about the phone are - * Phone is exceptionally bulky and big. its dimensions are unusually large. The phone has exceptionally strong built. The phone feels in your hand like you are holding a piece of iron bar in your hand. Though the dimensions are same than earlier peers but the phone feels really bulky in your hand. * When opened the cover of the phone to see whats inside the phone i was surprised again to find that the smooth moment of the cover is now replaced with the jacks that control the moment of the phone and are strong solid and uneasy * From...

Communication heaven

Advantages: presence, phone conferences, video chats, easy to use, cost savings, IM
Disadvantages: None

...way, everyone gets to focus on whoever?s speaking. Another great feature is simultaneous calling. I?ve set up Communicator to automatically ring my mobile whenever someone calls me. When someone calls my work landline number, the call comes up on my computer and I can answer it there, using my computer?s speakers and microphone (or, more usually, a headset) but my mobile phone also rings. So If I?m not at my computer, I get the phone calls I would otherwise have missed. It doesn?t matter whether I?m at my desk, somewhere else in the office, out visiting a partner or working from home ? a single number will reach me. If I lost my mobile phone, I can set up the simultaneous calling to call a different number. I can get Communicator to put all my calls straight through to voice mail if I?m busy. If I go away on holiday, I can set it up...

Review of Microsoft Office Communicator 2007

Mobile communication as it should be

Advantages: Everything you need - especially when you upgrade to WAP
Disadvantages: Size and weight

...Imagine sitting under a palm tree, surrounded by sea and sand. The temperature is in the 80’s, and you’re just wearing a cropped shirt and shorts. You’re holding in your hand a mobile phone. Not the slimmest model on the market but reasonably light and small enough to fit in a jacket pocket, were you wearing one. You’ve just used the phone to check some share prices real-time on your favourite website back in England, and you’re now reading your latest email messages. The last email requires a response so you type away for a few seconds and send it on its way. As the message is uploading the phone beeps to inform you that an SMS message has arrived. Reading the SMS you find you have a voicemail waiting. You dial in and listen to the message that is from a panicked colleague back home telling you that...

Review of Nokia 9110 Communicator

XBL COMMUNICATION HEADSET FTW!

Advantages: Value for money.
Disadvantages: Some problems.

...The Xbox live communicator headset is an accessory that comes with Xbox Premium Console and Xbox elite controller and is one method of using the voice messaging services on Xbox live, The headset itself connects to the Xbox 360 wireless controller via a cable only. During this review I will discuss several concerns that affect the usage of this headset. Usability The headset itself connects easily to the XBOX Wireless controller and the connecter itself never disconnects whilst using, this is a perfect design feature as a lot of other headsets use basic audio input sockets(like on a cd player) which aren?t very reliable. The connecter has a switch on it that allows you to turn of the Microphone which is useful if some come in real life is talking to you whilst playing the game. The cable itself you would think be annoying being...

"Internal Communications? What's that then?"

Advantages: It's rewarding, it gives you an excuse to be nosy about stuff in the name of good communications
Disadvantages: Can be a dumping ground for work people can't pigeonhole, have to be very careful re confidentiality

..."Internal Communications? What's that then?" is a phrase I hear all too often when I explain what I do for a living. I'm a communications consultant, events organiser, project manager, statistics expert and sometime writer. Amongst other things. How should that be summed up?! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So, What Is Internal Communications Then? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Internal Communications (let's call it IC for ease of typing!) is, basically, something a company does when it shares information with or collects information from its employees. This can include all sorts of things, from staff magazines, intranets (websites that are only accessible from within a company network), conferences and other live events, videos, business TV, surveys, question and answer sessions with senior management, and many...

Review of Internal Communications

My Supermarket Mobile

Advantages: Cheap, easy to get started, good coverage, clubcard points
Disadvantages: None so far

...So here we go again another review brought about by the fact I had to move to keep my job (long story and will be covered when I write the review of my employers when and if Ciao list them). Sadly for Orange their network doesn't cover Lydd camp - just the area outside it but no signal penerates the camp fence oddly enough. So while on my hunt for a working network I checked the O2 website and found they claim to have full coverage across the camp, not long after this I remembered the handset and SIM I was given by the nightclub I used to work for but was on Tesco mobile. Dont worry I've not lost it, Tesco mobile and O2 are pretty much the same thing because Tesco buy the 'spare' satellite time from O2 to operate their network. Which means that while the Tesco sell the SIM's and the handsets its O2 that owns and operates...

Review of Tesco Mobile

nokia 9500 communicator

Advantages: have wifi
Disadvantages: large model

...Nokia 9500 mobile phone that I think is very good shape despite big but mobile phone equipped with a camera, mp3, wifi, and the most easy to use internet via wifi result is the same as the computer and the key to its easy to use, this phone is also equipped with a memory card . I have been using the mobile phone is almost 1 year because I like the most is the complete mobile phone with wifi for mp3 sound good and we can make the documents in applications such as add the word and adobe rider that often we know the computer. But not only the 9500 mobile phone is also equipped with Bluetooth and infrared to connect to the computer and can share files between your phone. 9500 mobile phone is like that because I have wifi, so we do not need to use gprs connection enough to find a place that we can provide hotspot to connect to...

Review of Nokia 9500 Communicator

Tesco are now Mobile...

Advantages: Reasonable cost and a straightforward range of tariffs
Disadvantages: Some underlying network problems

...Want to buy your mobile while picking up your beans? Why not go one better and have the supermarket BE the mobile network with Tesco Mobile (well almost? see below!). When did Tesco build a mobile network? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The answer, of course, is that they didn't. The Tesco Mobile network is a 'virtual' network, similar to Virgin Mobile, in this case being carried on the O2 network. It is a joint venture between Tesco and O2. Why do these virtual networks exist? On the (physical) network operator's side they use up spare capacity while someone else picks up the marketing bill. On the (virtual) network operator's side they gain the ability to offer mobile telephony services without the need to spend (many) millions and years building a network. Here O2 effectively get access to Tesco's undoubted marketing ability...
