subject: Three Functions Of The Mobile Phone We Seldom Use [print this page] The mobile phone has a variety of uses today, and the device has become more useful than ever before. Here are the three different uses that mobile phones have today.
The average mobile phone today has several features and services. We use some of these features and services, while the others are simply ignored. Here are three such features that we seldom use.
Use Mobiles to Connect to the Internet:
If your mobile phone has GPRS connectivity, you can use it as a modem to connect to the Internet. All you need is a USB wire that would connect your mobile to the computer and the relevant software. The speed will be slow and it might turn out to be expensive if you intend to use it for longer periods of time, but this service can definitely be used to send quick emails via your computer.
Use Mobiles as Recording Devices:
Most phones today have a recording feature in them, even the cheap cell phones. With the recording feature, you can actually record audio, video in a jiffy. In fact, when the Nokia 6630 was launched, the recording feature was used as an advertising point. Though the quality of the recording would not be something to write home about, or use professionally, it is a great way to record personal messages, etc.
Use Mobiles as Data Transmitters:
If your mobile phone supports data, you could set it up in such a way that you can transfer data from device to device. All you would need is a USB wire that can connect the mobile phone to the computer, or you could even use a drive reader. With mobiles supporting as much as eight to sixteen gigabytes of data, one can use the mobile phones to transmit any amount of data from one device to another in a matter of minutes.
These are the three important uses of mobile phones that we can use, but seldom do. One can find these features even in cheap cell phones today.
