If you are a business professional, than you use your iPhone for more than simply keeping in touch with your friends and family, in many cases your iPhone is your link to the business world. Whether you are keeping track of your stocks, checking your e-mail or conducting conference calls while on your way to a business meeting, your iPhone is literally your key to keeping connected with your professional life. However, if you are like most business professionals, than you travel the globe in order to keep your business active and profitable. There are many concerns that people have with cell phones are whether or not you will be able to use your phone when you are in a different country, especially if you are visiting for an extended period of time.
Like most cell phones, the iPhone works with a particular cell phone carrier, and in this case you have your service through AT&T/Cingular. Many business professionals want the security in knowing that their cell phone service will not be disrupted simply because they travel from country to country. Since the iPhone is serviced by AT&T/Cingular, you will not have to worry about loosing service, or features, because the iPhone uses the GSM system. GSM is an acronym that stands for Global System for Mobile communication, thus allowing you to use your cell phone in many different countries. Actually, there are over one hundred countries around the world that use GSM, thus allowing you to keep using your iPhone without any hindrance to cell service.
Many business travelers go to Europe and Asia, and since their iPhone uses GSM, they are able to have excellent service throughout both of these locations. However, there are some precautions that you will want to take before you leave the country with your iPhone. If you have ever traveled throughout the world and used your cell phone, you were probably surprised by extremely high charges for phone and data use.
This is because your number is an American telephone number, thus every call you make within another country is looked upon by your carrier as an international call. If you are overseas for quite some time, than it is easy to accumulate several hundred dollars worth of fees and roaming charges, this is why you will
want to alter you calling plan if you travel overseas frequently.
AT&T/Cingular has really great international calling plans that are very cost effective. Thus you are able to still travel throughout the world without having to worry about roaming and international call fees. Also, if you use data on your iPhone, which most of you do, you will want to make sure that you have an international data plan as well. The worst homecoming surprise you can get is opening your cell phone bill only to find several hundred dollars worth of extra charges and fees. However, if you plan ahead and make sure that you obtain a new service plan that includes international cell phone use, you will not have to worry about extremely high charges.
Now you see more teenagers using the PDA's. This is of course considered a good thing as long as they don't have access to the internet or if they do they are responsible and don't do things that aren't appropriate. Teenagers can use PDA's for calculation conversions and other assignments. They can also keep track of assignments and dates they have to be finished.
Teenagers of course have friends, so they can keep track of phone numbers and email addresses too. Additionally they can organize the data on their PDA letting them also keep track of their friends' birthdays' and other events. Some teenagers start spreadsheets of scores for sports. While still others use the PDA for things such as when movies are going to be playing theatres, or days when school will not be in session. Like spring break, or their Christmas vacation time.
Some teachers allow their teenage students to have PDA's in class because of programs that can be installed on the PDA. Some programs might include dictionaries, calculators, maps, and so forth. Also, a PDA allows a student to take notes as well. Teachers usually don't have a problem with their teenage students having PDA's in class if they are being used properly. In some cases, PDA's have been banned from certain classes for certain periods of time simply because of testing periods.
With the use of the PDA infrared beam it is to easy and to tempting for the teenage students to cheat or to get answers from their friends in the room. Depending on what style of PDA a teenage has and the features it has, may have an impact on whether or not it is allowed in class as well. Most of the PDA's allowed in classrooms with teenagers are the standard basic type PDA's.
Used for organization, taking notes, setting assignment due dates, and additional tasks that might be useful for the teenagers education. This is the only reason PDA's would be allowed in classes. And, usually at the beginning of the school year, a teacher will notify parents whether or not PDA's can be used at different times in the classroom, however, they will also let parents know that the misuse of PDA's in the classroom will initially end with the PDA being taken away from the student and the parent must retrieve it from the teacher.
Normally, teenagers will respect PDA's and realist they are an important asset for their learning, or that they could be an important aspect for their learning. And so the teenager won't abuse the right of owning a PDA. They also know that the sole purpose of having a PDA is to keep their schedule, school notes, and other things on their calendars at a much easier form of access.
I don't believe preteens should however have PDA's because there are a lot of responsibilities that do go along with owning a PDA, such as not losing it and many different unfortunate instances. This of course would depend on the parent and how he or she feels about their preteens maturity level. As to whether the preteen should have a PDA or not.
