BASE experts and mobile phone experts - the beginning of a wonderful symbiosis

My name is Bernard Kowalik and I'm expert BASE .

It came at the time, as a small group of BASE customers (called: BASE experts) gathered early 2010 at the Duesseldorf headquarters of the E-Plus Group to give a face to the visions of a small project group. Aim was to bring together a representative cross section of customers with BASE leaders and decision makers, to connect at eye level in the dialogue.

I'm pretty sure that none of the then invited BASE experts could expect that this first meeting would be only the beginning of a regular and intensive exchange between customers and E-plus leadership.

Last Thursday a now committed community of BASE hit to experts for the fourth time in the Dusseldorf E-plus headquarters to many different mobile phone topics speak. The current and future network expansion was an important issue here. Furthermore was the revised website of base.de presented and discussed one in the development of any APP.

In addition, there was a first meeting of the base and mobile phone experts, in which a lively exchange between the groups was held. The mobile phone experts deal with the topic "Customers help customers" and are accessible via www.mobilfunkexperten.de. The crowning conclusion of the first day consisted of a very delicious dinner in the airport hotel, where also the wine came at his expense.

Now the E-plus project team for a few more minds has grown, and it makes a lot of fun to watch how successful cooperation. Also we as customers get a deep insight into the mobile phone world. Nevertheless we succeed quite well to the changing needs of customers.

Ask and answer the Mobilfunkexperten.de!BASE expert meeting: all good things come in three - and more Folgen…Questions costs nothing. The mobile phone experts help customers!

The post in your Pocket - possible with the post mobile app

At breakfast on Monday morning, before work, I needed a stamp, but had no more. When the coffee went through, I reminded me of an app's post, which you could probably order stamps via their mobile phones. With the Cup in the left and the mobile phone in the right hand, I looked around me so app store in Apple's iTunes and found mobile post.

As the post itself, also their mobile phone application performs several functions. It is equally price guaranteed, package and mail Tracker, Filialen-and drop box Finder and - that was me - a postage stamp dispenser. In the App menu, I chose "Postage for a standard letter (up to 20 g)" and it opened a prepared SMS to the number of 22122 with the word "Letter" as content. I typed in "Sending" and got some seconds following answer:

CELLPHONE postage for a standard letter:

0203

6529

9229

Please write the numbers as shown, rather than the stamp & from the post. Their Deutsche Post.

Said, done. I also wrote the string on the letter and threw it on the way to work in the next mailbox. But what really then that? Can the post read my curved handwriting?

Of the manuscript to the barcode
I've researched something later, and found out that my numbers on the letter be read first not by a computer, but by a post employee. He then transforms the code into a bar code, stick it on my numbers and the letter is then machine readable on another trip.

By camera compass radar to the mailbox
In the iPhone version of post mobile there is a very great feature titled "Radar" by the way. It uses the built-in camera of the phone, the current GPS location, and the built-in compass from the iPhone to display mailboxes, post offices and packing stations in the area. This one simply moves the mobile phone in the direction of travel - and it sees just how far one must still go or run. The post radar guides on request also via Google maps to the next post - and offers this even more the option "Today still open?".

A mobile postal code is this
The additional costs keep for rare emergencies within limits, because by the additional processing time, postage for a letter to a German address about 95 cents for a postcard costs 85 cents - plus the request SMS to Telekom. More than three million German philatelists can be reassured by the way, because by the additional costs, the classic stamp still remains the best way to send letters or postcards.

I could my letter on this day in time out, so the question to you: in what situations have you used the mail app like, for example from time pressure or in a foreign city?

NFC is - the mobile phone as a brisk cash

At the weekend, I forget my wallet and that only at the supermarket cashier noticed, when I wanted to pay my barbecue. I found just the cell phone in my pocket, the cashier rolled through the eyes and behind me was rumour. So, I had to take the short way home to get my money - and this question to mind was: How can I pay actually still not with my phone?

Far East is already far us advance in the mobile payments by Smartphone
I remembered how a friend earlier this year told Japan travel me of his, because since this technique is already used. The barbecue was tasty, the weather class - and so I sat on the balcony with the notebook. In the network, it should give but info and there I found out the following:

Paying with so-called NFC cards has already arrived in Asia in everyday life. On the so-called "mobile FeliCa" system Japanese pay already with the mobile phone - at vending machines in public transport and many small "da-'s almost all shops", the so-called konbinis. Even the TV program can be read with a corresponding mobile phone when holding it on the remote control. And the whole thing is called near field communication, short NFC.

Sophisticated technology
Near field communication is nothing more than a designed for extremely short distances, low-power wireless technology. Equipped with a special sensor, digital cash registers and vending machines can identify for example a mobile phone in the range of approximately 10 cm in less than a tenth of a second. All without cable, reader, PIN, or annoying signature.

In Germany, NFC devices are just on the rise. The new Android Smartphone appeared due to nexus S from Samsung with integrated NFC reader function these days. In my experience at the weekend that not helped further but me.

At some point, my phone may also in our country serves as a replacement for the purses, discount cards, or even as digital car or hotel room key. That would simplify some things for me. Because in contrast to the wallet, I have never forgotten my mobile phone.

We would like to know: can you imagine using your mobile phone as brisk cash?

In Tunisia, the Government had these networks at the beginning of the year partly blocked, to prevent a revolt against the President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali - in vain.

Next, let's take a look in the "Middle Kingdom": the People's Republic of China is, after all, the populous country in the world and provides even the most Internet users with 450 million users. Also in mobile communications, the numbers are astronomically high: were there 800 million mobile phone contracts in September 2010. As the world's largest mobile operator, China Mobile last a year wins 65 million new customers. For comparison, this corresponds to almost every day 180,000 new.

What's in my phone? -1,000 Tons mobile scrap contain 350 kg Gold!

A few days ago, we have already written in the BASE blog about the love to your old mobile phone. But where the lures cherished sweetie, when it finally gives up the ghost - or a great smartphone at contract renewal?  May soon also mobile phones in a ton of value material can be disposed of, an appropriate basis for the Federal Cabinet on a proposal by Environment Minister Röttgen decided to end of March.
For us this is reason enough pursue course: which recyclables are actually in my mobile phone?
It is a mobile phone
Overall, 60 different raw materials in a regular cell phone be used. The plastic denies the majority with 56 percent. It is used mainly in the housing and the key mat. A quarter is made of metals such as lead and copper. For the LCD display and its liquid crystals, glass and ceramics used to 16 percent. Nothing, not even in a well-stocked kitchen. But now comes: every mobile phone has if also in a lesser proportion - the most precious metal of the world from: gold.
It is but gold what shines
The well-known science author and host ranga Yogeshwar has even offset for his TV program quarks & co. raw material conditions in mobile phones: mobile scrap with a weight of 1,000 tonnes contains, for example, 350 kg of gold worth about seven million euros. Very clear so that mobile phones have no place in the domestic waste - because on the one hand the combustion threatens the environment, on the other hand would be somewhat wasted.
Where the old cell phone?
According to estimates, 72 million mobile phones are currently unused in Germany's drawers. For this reason the E-Plus group cooperates with the nature conservation Association NABU. As a partner of the project "Old mobile phones for the Havel" E-Plus for any cell phone made for recycling donates up to three euros. The money comes Havel to good, as for example the large-scale nature conservation project lower special projects, this is the largest and most important wetland of Western Central Europe.
We have for a very good idea to keep cell phone recycling as waste are finally in the non-recyclable waste. But how you think it because so far with old mobile phones?

Mobile navigation is booming like never before - this shows our current study

Staufrei in the Easter holidays: says the phone, where to goMobile navigation is the most popular data application on the phone

In road transport, more and more people rely on their Smartphone. On longer tours, such as driving in the Easter holidays, modern devices with navigation software help to find the right way. In the last year alone, the number of users of mobile navigation continued to leaps and bounds: only 1.8 per cent of all owning - and thus every 50. consumer - set in the previous year on the mobile path routing, there are 15.5 percentnow. Thus, almost every sixth consumer uses the pilot function for its smartphones. This is the result of our representative survey with TNS infratest.

Smartphones have an unbeatable advantage
"Despite somewhat smaller displays, the Smartphones have an unbeatable advantage: the map material is always up-to-date." "And if you book a flexible data flat rate, keeps the costs always in mind", Haiko says scolding, our market research expert.

Many mobile phones already offer the Navi program at no extra charge. And they need to hide behind the traditional navigation devices: how Stiftung Warentest (output test 1 / 2011) confirmed, come the driver with the mobile programs as well and safely to the destination. The display is smaller, but for the map data is always up-to-date.

Smartphone can navigate but still more than only
The modern mini communication panels can even more: weather forecasts, Restaurant Finder, or small city guide - the Smartphone offers valuable tips on travel. Important for the Osterreiseverkehr: base and E-Plus customers can current traffic at any time under 1211 download. Under the speed dial 1210 reports the ADAC traffic service. And if it has yet cracked the new and free ADAC roadside assistance app is a useful tool.

And one final but important tip
Important: Set the target before driving. This sounds trivial now but it saves trouble and increase road safety, because operating a navigation device or phone is allowed only when the vehicle is stationary and switched off motor.

Information about the study:
TNS infratest interviewed for this study representative of its population more than 2,000 people of all ages and educational classes in all Germany. The telephone interviews were held in the first quarter of 2011. The renowned market research firm conducting the annual survey for the E-Plus Group since 2006.

The current seniors mobile phones: modern design for age-appropriate functions.

Recently, we have asked how to "tell a Smartphone its OMI" in the round. Right, some have since argued that their own Grandma or Grandpa quite in the location is to deal with modern mobile phones and need no such help. Absolutely right, and the proportion of Ue50 - and Ue60-yr-olds who use always extensive Internet, cell phone & co. continues to happily inexorably.

Why are there senior cell phones?
The name "senior cell phones" will not say that the more mature age on certain phone models would be set or limited. However, it is that still a large part of the older generation has reservations over cell phones and Smartphones or, unfortunately, due to age-related limitations not particularly filigree technique to relying on. And, just that there are mobile phones called seniors.

Of simplified handling to SOS feature.
Seniors mobile phones appeal to different audiences. Some customers want only, e.g. thanks to large buttons with clear pressure point, a somewhat limited flight mechanics taking into account in the hands. For models such as the Doro PhoneEasy 332gsm are intended that otherwise looks like a "non-seniors phone". At the other end of the age-appropriate scale models like the Emporia life-plus, which is in simplest form and easy to use and is prepared for possible emergencies by speed dial and SOS keys are available.
