GSM and UMTS: The Creation of Global Mobile Communication

"By describing the critical decisions and the phases of the development this key text explains how the GSM initiative became a success in Europe and how it evolved to the global mobile communication system. Initially the strategy and technical specifications were agreed for Europe and the subsequent evolution to a global solution was achieved by incorporating all non-European requirements and by inviting all committed parties worldwide to participate. The process started in 1982 and the first GSM networks went into commercial service in 1992. The first UMTS networks are expected in 2002 and the fourth generation discussions have begun."

Readers Write About Symbian, OS X and the iPhone

In most regards, Symbian's reputation as a modern, robust, stable and advanced OS for smartphones is not well deserved. Sure, Symbian works, it has a very long feature list, and it's probably even the best smartphone OS available today. But it's mostly because the competition is pathetic than anything else.

Nimbuzz - Free mobile IM, texts, voice messages, file sharing and cheap international calls (free VoIP coming soon!)

To use Nimbuzz, you need an Internet-enabled mobile with Internet access.

phone software voip business

  • To use Nimbuzz, you need an Internet-enabled mobile with Internet access.
  • The Nimbuzz software and the Nimbuzz IM and Text Message Service are completely free. PC calls from Nimbuzz are also free. Mobile calls from Nimbuzz, however, are charged at local fixed line calling rates (or deducted as part of your monthly local minutes package).  We are working to add Mobile VoIP to Nimbuzz so all your calls will be free.

    Please note that you may incur wireless carrier charges for any wireless data services. If you expect to use Nimbuzz a lot, we recommend you subscribe to an unlimited wireless data plan with your wireless carrier. If you push them, or threaten to switch carriers, they will usually come up with a more attractive offer (such as a "flat rate data plan"). Then you can Nimbuzz all-day, everyday, for free (no incremental cost).

Cell phone minutes: the next currency

We’re not used to Africa taking lead in new technology. Necessity, they say, is the mother of invention and it couldn’t be more true in case of Africa, where pre-paid airtime is fast becoming the ‘virtual’ currency, overcoming conventional currency exchange and lack of banking infrastructure.

There are over 100 million mobile phones in Africa, and it is one of the fastest growing mobile regions. This number will increase to 378 million by 2011, according to Portio Research. Cell phones are already used for music downloads, text messaging, video games and personal piggy banking. Kenya is home to an impressive cutting-edge mobile tool: M-PESA, the world’s only system for sending both minutes and money via SMS. (The “m” stands for mobile. Pesa is Swahili for money.) Airtime minutes automatically load onto the phone of their recipient. The cash is collected from one of the many M-PESA shops dotting the country.

Localization Problems: A Cellphone's Missing Dot Kills Two People, Puts Three More in Jail

  • The use of "i" resulted in an SMS with a completely twisted meaning: instead of writing the word "sıkısınca" it looked like he wrote "sikisince." Ramazan wanted to write "You change the topic every time you run out of arguments" (sounds familiar enough) but what Emine read was, "You change the topic every time they are fucking you" (sounds familiar too.)

Communities Dominate Brands: SMS text messaging worth 100 B dollars in 2007

  • 80 billion dollars worth of revenues out of mobile phone simple SMS text messaging last year (as reported by us long ago, and verified by the ITU stats). Now its clear this year we will pass the 100 billion dollar mark.

The True Cost of SMS Messages » a gthing science project

  • What exactly justifies making SMS messages sixty one million times more expensive than ISP data and 200x more expensive than TCP/USPS? How come technology, communication, and infrastructure is getting cheaper while the costs of SMS messages are increasing exponentially? My theory: SMS messages are transfered over air made of solid gold.

  • The psychodelic generative sound output from PD is based on the speed of IM conversation between two skype users. If you are chatting very quick, the sound gets faster and more brutal, making you even quicker. If the time between the IM messages is getting longer, the sound transforms into 60Hz (ohhhhm) sinus fields, evoking warm feelings and slower typing among participating chatters. The sound output of PD should be redirected directly into the Skype call which is initiated by the python script.
