These days, SMS messaging is one of the most utilized features among cell phone users. It is considered the fastest and cheapest means of getting into content among individuals. And because of this mobile phone companies are cashing on this phenomenon of short message servicing as being heavily patronized by mobile phone users.

This SMS messaging culture is not only real in the United States but all over the world. People can send and receive short messages consisting of 160 characters using any kind and model of mobile units - Motorola cell phones, Nokia phones, Sony Ericsson cell phones.

Indeed, the world has gotten smaller as cell phones solidify their reign as the number communications gadget.  More so with the cell phones’ permanent feature of sms text messaging which keeps families and friends constantly in touch with one another. Distances become shorter, relationships are maintained, families are kept intact – all because of the cell phone’s SMS messaging.

These benefits are not just for us to enjoy, but also to our brothers with disabilities. For the hearing impaired, cell phone use affords them the freedom and independence to enjoy upon using the SMS text messaging, letting them hurdle the obstacles of language and oral communication. They become just like us when using the simple mechanics of texting. With the use of cell phone, communication for them becomes a lot easier.

Another benefit of text messaging is that it becomes a means of reporting crimes, thereby becoming a live saving tool. Police for instance in the UK use SMS messaging as a way of crime reporting especially for their hearing impaired population. The US police are on their way to using such methods.

Certainly, with the many benefits of short message service, it proves to be a noble innovation at this day and age. Such communication benefits are what we can only be grateful for. Definitely, the cell phone and SMS messaging will evolve into a much complex stage. And it is only to us users to maintain its clean objectives.

Downloading Ringtones and Photos for Your Cell Phone

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Motorola offers mobile users the option of sharing, downloading, as well as accessing cell phone features through a laptop and/or desktop computer. Highly recommended by customers, Motorola Phone Tools are considered a very important aspect for those who enjoy listening to music, chatting online, manipulating photos, etc.

It’s simple; there are two different ways to connect the Motorola cell phone to other devices. First, the Bluetooth feature, which provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices, such as mobile phones, laptops, desktops, printers, digital cameras and even video game consoles. Besides Bluetooth, the Universal Serial Bus, or the USB cable, can as well be connected to other devices.

Before using either or connectors, the Motorola Phone Tools CD ROM is needed in order to start the program. Once the program is saved and stored to the PC, it’ll be a whole lot easier to access phone tools on the desktop.

There are several ways to get ringtones unto those phones.

Firstly; you can purchase the datacable and the software (Mobile Phone Tools) for the phone. You can get this at any phone outlet or even online. With this you can then create and transfer images, wallpapers, movies and mp3 ringtones to and from the phone.

Secondly; you can purchase the Bluetooth Dongle (USB Adapter), and then use this to transfer your images and ringtones from your PC to your phone and vice-versa. This will all be done using the bluetooth wireless technology.

Thirdly; you can go online and find some free ringtones that you like and then have them transferred to your phone directly off the internet using WAP technology.

You can also even get the ringtones texted using MMS to your phone or you can even have them emailed to you.

These are the best options for you to choose from. There are more but work with these for now. Oh and don’t get led on by these Network people that want to make extra money.

There are two ways of doing this. The first is using Bluetooth, which is a wireless connection and the second is using the data cable and Motorola Phone Tools (MPT). I would recommend that you use the data cable because it is very thorough and it has a simple user interface.

The data cable you can purchase at any phone store or even on Ebay. As for the software MPT, here is a link that you can use to download it.

If they ask for a password to open the file after you have downloaded it then you can try this:

Password: Freshwap.com

When you copy and paste the link, you will be directed to rapid share. Then you scroll down the page to the button ‘free’ located at the bottom of the second column. Click on the free button and then you will go onto another page. This page should have a timer counting down. This is how long you have to wait before you can download the file. When the timer expires, then you can enter the 3 character confirmation code that they give you, and then hit download and that’s it.

You will also need WINRAR, that is the software they use to zip the files. This you can get anywhere on the net but you can check: www.downloads.com if you don’t already have it.
