NEW VIRUS ON CELLPHONES MAKES YOUR CELLPHONE MAKE CALLS WITHOUT YOU KNOWING IT
Posted by: | CommentsVirus Attacks on cellphones An increase in virus attacks has been seen globally in October 2009, and it is only the beginning. I warned about virus on the smart phones to become a growing problem as early as in May 2009. The attacks so far have been less malicious than just to prove that the cellphones are vulnerable to attacks through various ways. The fact that the cellphones are less protected than the PC’s makes us believe what we see now is only a beginning. You should begin to check your phone bill more closely now, as a virus has been found that makes your phone make a call on its own. This is the first virus where we see some economic gain can be found, and we will talk about large money here. Just taking some few cents from each phone would make billions of dollars globally. The hackers industry is on the loose, and they really want your money – and they are not shy of any methods to get it from you. As a background, you can read some of the articles i have written about this issue previously. There can be some learning lessons in these articles as well. October 2009http://www. articlesbase. com/cell-phones-articles/avoid-to-get-the-first-virus-on-your-iphone-1438490. htmlJune 2009http://www. articlesbase. com/technology-articles/iphone-and-ipod-touch-are-vulnerable-to-hackers-and-new-viruses-950916. htmlMay 2009http://www. articlesbase. com/cell-phones-articles/hackers-will-attack-cellphones-with-sms-bluetooth-and-other-innovative-ways-be-aware-912220. htmlhttp://www. articlesbase. com/cell-phones-articles/virus-on-your-cell-phone-possible-or-not-912285. htmlThis is how you secure your cell phoneIt is totally irresponsible of any company to not install anti-virus software on their cell phones, however it goes for all of us individual users as well. So far there has been seen as no need to install any anti-virus software on the cellphones as attacks have not been around for so long. However, there are several things you can do yourself to avoid viruses on your phone. Turn off the bluetooth function when you are not using this function on the phone. Virus can be transferred through the bluetooth system and the probability will increase that someone will take over your phone. Do not open files or MMS that you did not expect to get or know about in forehand. If you surf on the internet with your cellphone, avoid pages you are not sure of or have no knowledge about at all. You have to remember that you probably are better protected visiting the same pages with your PC since it has a anti-virus software protecting you. The Cellphone is just like a PC without the anti-virus software installed. You can buy a anti-virus software through the internet, however you can not find any proven good anti-virus software for free for your cellphone yet. E-mail is vulnerable in particular. You would hardly think of surfing the internet or running a email program without using a anti-virus software on your PC. However, the smart phones have become like mini-computers with an operating system and add-on software which all are vulnerable to virus attacks. It is just here the cyber criminals have found an interest to tap into. The hackers are no longer the boys in the boys room sitting and making codes just to prove themselves. They are now part of an industry funded by major criminal organizations able to create malicious software with almost no limits any longer. However, the problem is that most of the users do not even know how to install antivirus software on the cellphone. This is a problem that face lots of cellphone users today, and it just indicate that if you want to have a sophisticated cellphone, then you need to become a more sophisticated and knowledgeable user. However, one can say that sellers of the hardware should take some responsibility to enhance security of the use of their product. You do not sell a car without complying to some safety regulations and measures. And this lead back to the regulators, that they have no regulations on how safe a cellphone should be to attacks, and maybe this will wake up the legislators to demand some safety measures a hardware should comply with before it is sold into the consumer market. No smart cellphone to be sold without any proven anti-virus technology enabling the user to feel some safety when using this product. Yes, it will increase the price of the product, but i believe the users will be willing to take this cost given the dangers he or she can be exposed to with a cellphone that is not protected at all. So far there have not been any complaints in major scale based on the latest calling virus found on the cellphones. So far you are responsible for any use of your cellphone number and have to pay to the provider any costs associated with your cellphone number. This is were the conflict starts, who should be responsible to provide a secure service – the users or the provider?There are several examples of people complaining of phone bill exceeding what they thought they could have been responsible for. However, it is almost impossible for the users to win through with these cases, as collecting evidence could only be done by the provider itself, which is part in the case. The consumer is bound to have lost. It is here the legislators should put some demands to the providers to be able to protect their users. The providers says they are not responsible for the virus attacks and can not be held responsible. On the other hand they provide a service that is prone to virus attacks, and should feel morally obliged to protect their consumer and clients. We are having a mighty challenge at hand in the near future as these virus attacks will become more frequent and have more stealth power than today. There are examples produced in the last few weeks of cellphones been taken over and started producing cellphone calls by itself, without any interference of the owner of the phone and the subscription. These examples shows that the phone has begun systematically calling phone The calls varies from few seconds to several minutes and will give the users an extra cost of few cents to Euros or USD pr call. One examples shown to the public is that one cellphone made around 100 calls during a period of 2 days. It was only found since the user wanted to check why the phone bill showed a discrepancy from previous bills he had. The evidence that this was a virus, comes from the fact that the calls did not show up on the cellphone call log at all. There is no doubt at all, the cellphone has been taken over by a virus. This is only the beginning as the cyber criminals have found out tht it is very easier to take over your phone than your PC, as most have antivirus protection on the PC’s but not on the cellphones. They have also found a very easy way to take money from the users as these services will be directed and used towards special phone services owned by the cyber criminals and therefore will get easy income from the users. You might ask now, how is the phone infected in the first place?There are several ways this can happen, but the most probable is that the owner has received a MMS with a virus infected file that takes over the phone. You might levee you open a photo, but in the background the cellphone loads a virus to be hidden on your cellphone. Another way this method can occur is through surfing on the internet as some web pages have photos with this type of malicious code attached to it. Another way is through the bluetooth system as files can be loaded onto your cellphone without your knowledge at all. It is very difficult to detect these attacks and the only measure so far, is to double check your phone bill and make sure you can account for the calls made there. If not, then you should consider the fact that you have been attacked and there is a need to clean your cellphone to avoid further take over of the cell phone. By taking over your phone, the cyber criminals will gain information on your cellphone which can be valuable, like email adresses and information inside these (sensitive information, passwords, number, accunts etc)A virus can also make the phone to call expensive pay services abroad and the owners of these services can make a hugh amount of money on this. Some viruses are just what it is – a virus to demonstrate a methodology or a way to contribute to the open source society amongst the cyber criminals to gain more knowledge about how to exploit your phone. The best way to avoid attacks on your cellphone is of course to install a anti-virus program and not to open any files you have no idea were they come from. The virus is not placed on the SIM card (as of yet not found that is), but is installed in the operating system on the phone itself.

It is a feature most commonly used to change images in a photo viewer or to change tracks in an audio player. How long should I charge the battery before first use?Before you use the battery for the first time, please charge it for 12 hours. Should I load MP3’s or WAV music files into my phone to listen to? It’s a trade off really. With MP3’s, you get lower audio quality, but because of its small file size you can fit more into memory. With WAV files, you get CD quality music, but on average, one WAV file is equivalent in size to ten MP3 files. Great to hear that the phone comes with 2 batteries. What if I need more batteries, what should I do? Simply contact our customer support department to order replacement accessories. Easy peasy. How many contacts, can the phone hold? The phone itself has the capacity to hold 800 contacts. SIM cards usually hold 250 contacts. Since this phone can hold two SIM cards, altogether you are looking at 1,300 contacts. That’s a lot of friends! Can I change the ringtone with this phone? Definitely. The phone provides for many preset ringtones. Wonderful classics like the Pachelbel Canon and music from Nintendo’s Mario Kart video game series, You can also load your own MP3s to act as ringtones or use the phone’s sound recorder to record your own voice or sounds as a ringtone. I heard somewhere that I can record phone conversations with this phone. How do I do that? When a calls come in, you will be presented with an option box. Press that key and a menu will appear. One of the items on the menu will allow you bring up the sound recorder to tape the entire conversation as a sound file for playblack at anytime. How do I change my ring tone? Tone volume and set up is found by pressing PROFILE icon and not the SETTINGS icon. Once in profile, select GENERAL and then CUSTOMIZE. You will be given the opportunity to change ringing options. How do I get the webcam function working on this phone?When you plug in the USB charging cable, you’ll be presented with a screen to either use the phone as a storage device (for transferring files) or as a webcam. Choose webcam and the phone will display a picture of a webcam. It’s now working as a webcam and transmitting what it sees to the screen. If you’re using Skype, simply make a video call and you’ll be able to see yourself immediately. What is Dual Standby and does the Odyssey phone have it?A phone which is designed to work with 2 Subscriber Identity Modules (SIMs) are called Dual SIM phones. Of these Dual SIM phones, the ones which allow both SIMs to be active at the same time so you can receive calls on both are called Dual Standby phones. Yes, the CVDQ-M56 is a dual SIM, dual standby phone. How does the built-in answering machine work?From the main menu, select the ANSWER icon. You will be taken to another menu that will allow you adjust settings like how long before the answering machine picks up the call and how long your caller’s message should be. When an actual call comes through, the answering machine will save your calls to the memory card and you can review them at anytime. I hear that the phone has “In Call Background Noise”. What is that? As far as sound effects go, if you use this feature – you decide what background noise your caller hears when they’re talking to you. You can set the background noise so your caller thinks you’re in a restaurant, in the subway or a host of other settings. Perfect for the devious in all of us. How can I change the placement of my icons in the main menu? There may be certain icons you want closer to the first page, in which case the Odyssey phone was designed to allow you to move the icons about just like you would do on your computer desktop. Simply place your finger or pen stylus on any icon for more than 3 seconds and all the icons will start shaking. This indicates you are in icon moving mode. Locate the icon you want to move and place your finger or pen stylus on it for more than 3 seconds. It will increase in size indicating that you can move it. Just drag it to the new location. When you’re done moving icons, press the black select button at the center of your phone to exit icon moving mode. How do I setup a wake up alarm?Click on the CLOCK icon. You will have the ability to setup 6 different alarms depending on frequency and day(s) of the week. You mentioned that you can setup a different ringtone for each caller on your contact list, how do I do that? It’s really easy. Simply press the CONTACTS icon on the bottom of your screen and select “caller ringtone”. After choosing the ringtone, you’ll be prompted to associate it with a particular contact in your phonebook. I need to know something really important which no one ever talks about. How does the phone feel in your hand? Solid is the best word we can think of to describe the tactile sensation of holding the Odyssey in your hand. As cellphone aficionados, we test our fair share of phones for professional and personal reasons. For us, cellphones that have in the past provided exceptional feel in your hand quality has been any of the Nokia N series especially the N95. Going farther back, the Siemens S40 felt great to hold as well. We’re not big fans on the iPhone though because it’s too wide and too thin for our tastes. It feels like you’re holding a calculator in your hands not a mobile phone! The Odyssey CVDQ-M56 on the other hand is the epitome of a touchscreen phone in a candy bar form factor. It’s narrower than the iPhone, but just slightly thicker to give you the impression you’re holding something solid in your hand. Of course, the fact that it’s well built accounts for that too. But the smooth black face and the rounded chrome corners lends itself to a phone that’s as well-designed aesthetically and tactilely, as it operates superbly. Can you tell what’s the difference between the CVDQ-M56 Odyssey phone and the CVDQ-M50 Voyager phone?From the perspective of firmware and functionality, they’re almost identical. The Odyssey phone has a larger screen though. It’s 3 inches compared to the Voyager which has a 2. 8 inch screen. At the bottom of the screen there are four main icons: phone, contacts, opera, and music player? Is there any way I can change those or are they permanent?Yes, the four short cut icons can be changed. Simply press and hold one of the icons in the main area and the entire icon set will vibrate. Next select the icon you want to become a shortcut and it will increase in size. This shows it can be moved. Then simply drag it into the shortcut icon area and it will replace the one you dropped it on. When I am entering the name of a new contact in my phonebook, what is the maximum number of characters I can use?You can enter a name that is 14 characters long. Where are the accelerometer settings for image rotate?Image rotation is achieved by viewing a photo and touching the screen. A rotation icon appears that allows you to switch from portrait to landscape mode and vice versa. Login For Wholesale Discount Price Photos By: L. H. Written By: M. W.

SMS Or Short Messaging Service In Asia Pacific Region
Posted by: | CommentsMobile communication in Asia particularly in the Asia Pacific region is still going on users. Every where in the Asia Pacific region, more specifically in the Philippines where everybody seemed to be texting everybody else, SMS or texting has now become a way of life. very strong. This, despite the near saturation level of mobile communication in many parts of the globe. SMS or short messaging service otherwise known as text messages is the most popular system of communication favored by nearly 85 per cent of cell phone. Just imagine this. Two years ago, one of the three major Telecommunication companies serving the communication needs of the Philippines announced in a nationwide ad that they have reached their 50 millionth SMS/GMS subscriber. And do you know if how much is the total population of the country? As of the latest census done only last year, it was 88 million. Remember, the 50 millionth customers were advertised by only one Telecommunication Company. How much will be the total SMS/GMS subscribers in the Philippines if you total the other two? No wonder the Philippines is being called the Texting capital of the world. On the other hand, even thought there is still a continued trend of SMS volume of traffic in the Philippines, in some other parts of the Asia Pacific basin, countries like China and India are likewise beginning to feel the volume increase as many Chinese people are now more and more relying in SMS or text messages as their mode of communication through cell phones. In china, the penetration of mobile communication particularly the utilization of SMS or text messaging has just begun to be felt. In India, because of their strong economic growth, cell phone ownership has begun to flourish every where and together with this prevalent cell unit ownership, the volume of SMS or text messaging traffic is beginning to rise enormously, forcing Telecommunication companies to build cell sites as fast as they can to accommodate SMS traffic. Almost all Telecommunication companies have benefited greatly with SMS or text messaging services. This is because SMS or text messaging service is considered as a no cost operating service provided by Telecommunication companies to support their voice messaging service. With voice communication using the hand held cell phone person to person, there is a cost that has to be charged by the telecom companies. With SMS or text messaging service, there is no cost, thus, SMS or text message services is sometimes called as a no cost application. This is the very reason why Telecommunication companies are raking in huge profit primarily due to their SMS or text messaging services. This no cost to the Telecommunication company SMS or text messaging service is now the butt of a disagreement between the Philippine government and its three Telecommunication companies. The NTC or the National Telecommunication Company, which is a government agency tasked to oversee the operation of the Telecommunication Industry of the country, is now requiring these communication companies to stop charging the Filipino people with their SMS or text services as they do not incur any cost in delivering this communication service and they have more than enough profit from charging the people of SMS or text services charges for so many years already when it was supposed to be free of any charges.
Moister and Your Cellphone
Posted by: | CommentsNo, all those individuals you might see walking down the street, cruising in their cars, or shopping for groceries slowly pushing their buggies are not murmuring to themselves. They are likely on their cell phone. It seems anywhere you may be, people are either using their cell phone headset or holding a cell phone in their hand. The senior individuals appear to love the technology and fun of cell phones just like the younger people.
The more modern cell phone combinations have become a huge part of our daily routine. They have photo options in them, address book, internet connections for emails, and text messaging and double as an ipod. Those who are addicted cell phone carriers can be nearly devastated if their cell phone has no reception, gets stolen or destroyed. It could appear ridiculous to many, but if you are someone who is really dependent on your cell phone, these difficulties are not a funny position to be in.
A water accident is one of the worst nightmares for cell phone owners. Most of the time the cell phones guarantee will not include water damage. This is bad enough, but the real result is losing all the important files that could be stored in them. It is so discouraging to have to get a new phone, paid for out of your own pocket, and then go through the time consuming process of redoing all the information it had.
Quite a few of those water saturated phones get put in the garbage because owners can believe since it was wet that it is most likely destroyed and impossible to fix. Now if it was wet by coke or some other sticky mess, it could be ruined. If it was simply water, there may be hope. Occasionally, if you just do not mess with it and give it a little time to dry out entirely they will work fine.
If this will not get the phone to work, it can still have a chance to be restored. There are repair services available now that could fix your water logged phones and in many situations might return your information also. This could cost you a certain amount of money to have done, but depending on the price of a combination phone that can do a variety of things, the restoration amount might still be more cost efficient than replacing the phone. So if your cell phone undergoes an unexpected dunking, just try to be smart and see if it restores itself. When it has dried out and still will not work send it to a cell phone paramedic for CPR, cell phone resuscitation.

Live Chat for Cellphone Detail
Posted by: | CommentsThe single product that has grown beyond any precedent in the imagination of all people of the world is the cellular phone (or mobile phone). The watch on dick Tracy’s wrist is here, in a million varieties (and so much better), with functions that would make inspector gadget turn in his sprockets. Today, cell phones have become everything else In addition to being just mobile phone units. A cell phone can simultaneously be a digital video camera (or a normal still camera), a music player, a computer palmtop (of unbelievable complexity) a wireless receiver for any man-made signal; used as a TV or to play videogames with friends around the world (amongst literally countless other uses). Communications, the internet and cell phones are so likened by developments in technology that they are considered synonymous with each other in many overlapping ways, and therefore, the internet has evolved as the number one sales point for cell phones and cell phone related products (accessories) all over the world (even in developing and under developed countries, this phenomenon surpasses anything ever seen). Most of the time now-a-days, one hears of new developments every day. New models outdate the older ones every few months, and as the size decreases, the functionality, utility beauty and diversity of the cell phone ever increases (it is true, today’s phone is several hundred times more powerful than the personal computers of only a decades or two ago). Those who have recently bought a phone know that the sheer number of types of mobile phones is overwhelming, to say nothing of the complexity in functionality and price comparison, buying the right cell phone may one day actually become an impossible task; more trouble than it is worth. Even today, instead of plowing through the myriad arrays of manufacturers and models, most people trust the word of mouth of a friend in making a selection. There are two main types of cell phone sales popular all over the world. Direct cell phone retail and ’service with phone deals’. Direct retail is as it would be for any high technology consumer electronics product. The ’service with phone’ deals are deals where a mobile /cellular service provider (like AT&T in the Americas and O2 or Vodafone in Europe) sells the service to customers and provides a modern model of a cell phone of preference to the customer as an add-on to the service, which is either free or paid for in installments along with the bills of service; a contract is signed, and phone devices are regularly updated/ replaced with newer models in a variety of packages. Such an online sales environment, especially for the vast majority of people who are not very tech savvy, is perfect for the implementation of live chat customer support/ sales on a cell phone retail website. A Customer service agent, trained as a cell phone salesman, can chat with visitors on a website, acting on behalf of the website as a salesperson or helper. To generate business: A Live chat agent can proactively and amicably start a conversation by greeting visitors browsing a website for a cell phone, like any good salesperson at a store, and asking if they needed help. These agents could also be trained and authorized to; Generate a sale; Pitch products and take payments. Answer all queries relating to cell phones or mobile/ Bluetooth accessories directly (and also handle FAQs). Provide quotes or details on products or packages relating to either phones, service or both. Reduce customer services costs; by provide immediate responses to multiple customers at the same time, the time and cost expenditure for phone and e-mail services is avoided, while customers also do not have to wait or phone -in in order to get information or assistance. Outline service packages and/ or available brands and models. Provide customers feedback on the status of their order/ purchase. Suggest options according to the customer’s requirements, direct visitors to the correct product information page or even open the page in the visitor’s browser; as visitors can often be overwhelmed by the amount of information and with the variety of options available. This is similar to a sales agent handing a customer a brochure in a shop. To handle existing customers: Recording and processing return/ replacement or warranty claims. Answering queries related to packages, payments and in the case of service + Phone deals; contract information. Providing existing customers with order/ contract details, payment status and regulations relating to contracts. How to do it Live-Chat software and services are now available on the internet as add on services for websites. Implementing live chat services on a retail website is easy. Simply search for keywords such as ‘live support’ or ‘live chat support’ etc. Options on chat software as well as a complete support services solution (which includes chat agents) are available. In choosing a service, speak to the website’s greeter (a customer sales/ support agent who greets visitors, as discussed above) and the websites business manager and have them implement the chat service; completely customized to your business model.
GPS Tracking Using a Cellphone
Posted by: | CommentsThe GPS-enabled cellphone market is forecast to more than double by 2012, hitting 550 million units. Put it all
together and GPS chipset revenue is expected to more than double to $1. 3 billion in just three years time,
according to In-Stat. The GPS-based NextGen system, slated for completion by 2025, will straighten routes (blue)
and allow more planes to safely share the skies. Currently, Air Traffic Control Towers (ATCT) guide planes through
takeoff, then hand them over to a Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facility that keeps approach and
departure corridors orderly over the next 50 miles. The GPS system has been designed to be as nearly accurate as
possible. However, there are still errors.
Cell phone GPS tracking can also be a useful feature to the emergency services or police when responding to a 911
call from a GPS cell phone. For this reason, the FCC has legislated that wireless networks provide location
information for 911 calls made from cell phones. Cell phone GPS tracking systems is touted as one of the most
advanced technological milestones in the history of mobile communication systems. Global Positioning Systems (GPS)
enables the users to trail his own location through the analysis of satellite signals beamed down from many
satellites. Cell phone GPS website Mandated in the aftermath of September 11th, the Federal Communication
Commission (FCC) required cell service providers to make GPS tracking of cell phone calls possible. All phones made
since 2005 are GPS-trackable.
Cell phone GPS tracking is one of those advances. Cell Phone GPS tracking can prove useful in many walks of life
and especially when any emergency arises. Picture the scene of a road accident where injuries have occurred.
Update: Nokia intend the N95 to be a powerful one for all replacement for a media player, digital camera, digital
camera, PDA and now a GPS navigation device. It features a 2-way slide concept to simplify switching between
different functionalities. Nokia, Motorola and Beneflon are just a few of the companies now providing GPS-enabled
phones. This will change as the other manufacturers catch up, then we will see this technology being installed as a
default inclusion.
Comparison Shopping with a Cellphone
Posted by: | CommentsHow often do you find something at a store and wonder how much cheaper you could get it online? Now you don’t have to wonder–you can call 1-888-FRU-SHOP. That’s the number for Frucall, a first-of-its-kind price-comparison shopping service currently in Beta.
How Does Frucall Work?
Frucall is pretty simple to use despite all the technology behind it:
*Call 1-888-FRU-SHOP from any phone in the US.
At the prompt, enter the product’s bar code number. That’s the number directly below the bar code. (Hint: don’t forget the first and last digits, which may be offset from the rest of the code. )
*A computerized voice confirms the product’s name and states the price, as well as shipping information.
*The whole process takes about ten seconds. There are no signups, no downloads, and funky add-on services or charges to your phone bill.
Beta Limitations
Frucall has been launched to the public in Beta mode, though it has already been tested for more than two months on an invitation-only basis. The Beta service works well, though there are still a few limitations:
During the initial Beta period, Frucall only searches Amazon. The designers, however, are planning on adding additional sites soon. They eventually expect it to become an internet-wide ecommerce price comparison service for cell phones.
Because the Beta only searches Amazon, you can’t use it for things that aren’t sold on Amazon. The Beta is most valuable when you’re out shopping for clothes, appliances, electronics, books, music, DVDs and stuff like that, but for now you cannot use it for grocery shopping.
You won’t be able to buy the product using your phone until this feature is implemented sometime in summer 2006.
First-Ever Voice-Activated Mobile Price Comparison Service
Mobile phone technologies are all the rage these days, from movies to games to weather reports to shopping. For the most part, these technologies have a dedicated core of people who tend to be very comfortable navigating all the options on the little screens and touch pads of their cell phones. Right now, mobile applications aren’t as appealing to people who are less nimble-fingered, less technologically savvy–or just less patient.
Frucall, however, might just be the first mobile application both you and your grandmother could use. The usability factor for Frucall is high since it’s all voice-activated, and, ultimately, that’s what cell phones were made for: talking, not running software.
Looking out for people who actually like mobile software, Frucall’s designers are working on a WAP (mobile application) version as well, which will be available in a couple of months.
In the meantime, Frucall’s voice-activated interface is a blessing for die-hard cheapskates: they can call the toll-free number from a payphone without even having to pay cellphone airtime.
In short, if you’re serious about saving money, you just got another tool in your toolbox.
