when do i use mobile phones.

There are many different reasons why i use a mobile phone, some more important than others, and some. not important at all. simply for entertainment purposes.

1. my main use of a mobile phone is all about text SMS. my phone is on a contract sim card. this means i have a certain amount of texts and minutes a month, and i pay a fixed fee in the concluding week. my contract consists of 600free minutes and unlimited texts. i am always texting my girlfriend when im not with her. i text my dad a lot as i dont live with him anymore. and my friends when i want to arrange a event such as a party of s simple get together. overall i probably use about 3000 texts a month. because they are unlimited. i take advantage. i also use the free minutes i have with my contract. i only use about 20 phone calls a month, although most of them are about an hour long! However i can only do so when i have a greatful amount of signal. when i go away to lyme regus, my phone rairly has signal so it is hard to keep in contact with my relatives at home. luckily enough i have my girlfriend with me so my phone is not needed.

2. i also use my phone for simple reminders and as a memo. i use the alarm on my phone to wake me up for college every morning and the mornings i work at weekends. when setting an alarm i can put a message on to remind me i have something to do, this means when i wake up and look at my phone to turn it off. the message on the screen reminds me of an important task. i use the calander to mark dates that are important. for example i have reminders before birthdays so i dont forget presents and things. this is helpful because you always know whats coming, i have also got reminders on the day. so when i look at my calender on my phone, on specific dates it says so and so.

3. the great thing about a mobile phone is that i can use it anywhere. if you use it somewhere you arent suppose to. it has settings that allow you to turn your phone on silent so it doesnt go off and distract other people, or even worse. get you caught and in trouble.

the benefits of a mobile phone are that you can always be in contact with whom ever you need to. if you are out and somebody needs to talk to you, with the click of a button you can be talking to them. as long as you have signal there is nothing a phone cannot do really. they have all the perks that a standard phone wouldnt. LG make phones now. which is what i have, and it hasnt let me down once. touch screen with loads of built in apps. E.G. 5.0mega pixel camera, camcorder, games, mp3, internet - google, word processer. these are just a few of the apps available to you when you have posession of a mobile phone.

the major disadvantages of mobiles are that they are limited in three ways;
1 - you always have to have a signal to be able to be in contact with people, otherwise it doesnt connect any of your calls or texts to whom ever you wish to be in contact with.
2 - you need to have your phone fully charged because they have a battery life that doesnt last that long so you always need to make sure you either have fully battery of a phone charger on you if you go away for a long period of time. a lot of phones now have a longer battery life but still nothing spectacular.
3 - not all phones have these apps. a lot of the older phones only have a standard screen and connection application. a lot of the older phones dont even have a coloured screen meaning that they dont have cameras or camcorders. they wont have any stand out games. maybe the one, snake. which is actually amazing!

overall my phone meets its purpose and more. it has the signal i need, when i need it. it has a lot of apps that just make it more able to use. it has a lot of storage space and a camera and camcorder to catch them kodac moments!
