| Buyer’s Guide

Using your mobile phone abroad It is more expensive than at home, but this should not deter you from keeping in touch with family and friends.

How do I pick the cheapest network when I’m using my phone abroad?

When you switch on your mobile phone abroad or when you move around, your phone can automatically select a network which may not be the cheapest option for you. To avoid this, set to manually select a network from those available. This will enable you to personally select the network which is the best value for you. You should be aware that all networks which your handset detects may not be available to you as your mobile operator may not have a roaming agreement with them.

How do I know which network is best for me?

Your operator’s website and customer care department can provide you with the most up to date information on costs before travelling and can let you know what is the cheapest network to use when abroad. If travelling within the EU, there is a maximum price limit you can be charged

How do I use voicemail on my phone while I’m abroad?

You should decide whether to use voicemail before you travel. Set up a PIN code to access international voicemail by dialing 171 on your phone and going through the automatic menu system. Be aware that there may be costs for calls diverted to voicemail and of accessing messages. Sending text messages rather than making voice calls is usually a cheaper option. There is no charge for receiving text messages in any of the featured destinations, so you can avoid the cost associated with incoming calls by encouraging usual callers such as friends and family to send you texts before you leave.

Do I save money calling at off peak times? Off-peak rates can be cheaper than peak rates when roaming abroad but this should be checked with your operator before travelling.

Some operator’s offer a flat rate if you roam using the operators preferred network in the country you are visiting, such as O2 Travel, Vodafone Passport and 3 Like home. Please note that peak and offpeak times in the country you are visiting may differ to Ireland’s peak and off-peak times. If travelling within the EU there is no off-peak and peak rates.

How can The Carphone Warehouse save me money?

The Carphone Warehouse (known as The Phone House) operates in Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and in the USA as Best Buy Mobile. Buying a local Pre paid SIM card from The Phone House could save you

paying expensive roaming charges Your number will change (the full phone number including country code will have to be used) but you will only pay the local operator’s rates for your outgoing calls – incoming calls will be free (people will need to be told of your temporary number). If you wish to use a foreign SIM when abroad then you may need to unlock your handset to do so. The handset can be unlocked by calling your operator’s customer care department and providing the IMEI number and make of mobile phone. Please note that it may take a number of days to unlock some handsets. This option may be best suited to heavy users or frequent travellers. Remember if you use this option the person calling you will incur the international calling charge.

As from 1 July 2009, the prices of using your phone in another EU Member State have been capped. Sending a SMS message while abroad will cost up to 11c. Receiving an SMS in another EU country will remain FREE. The cost of making a call while abroad will cost up to 43c and 19c for receiving one. The cost of surfing the web and downloading movies or video programs with a mobile phone while abroad has been capped at €1 per megabyte downloaded. Full details can be found at www.comreg.ie

Who is going to come out on-top? Well, whatever happens the battle of the operating systems is not going to slow down anytime soon. Apple’s own iPhone OS and Google’s Andriod have become the top 2 best sellers. With more and more manufacturers opting for the Android platform Apple really have to show their metal when they reveal the next iPhone later this year.

LG had great success with their Cookie, Samsung with the Tocco lite and now manufacturers are making the touchscreen experience even better and more affordable.

Texting and emails are made so easy on a touchscreen phone when you turn it on it’s side (landscape mode) a full qwerty keyboard is presented on the screen and you can type away with both thumbs, much quicker than using a keypad.

Add the fact that your pictures and movies are bound to look much better on a 3.5 inch screen compared to a 2 inch screen then you start to see why they are getting so popular.

This format is the future of phones at The Carphone Warehouse we have the range and the expert advice, ask in-store today.

The fact that many touchscreen phones only have 3 buttons makes it much easier for the manufacturer, there are less components to make and therefore less moving parts that can

HTC mix touchscreen expertese with their stunning designs in an affordable package. There’s a mode for your busy weekdays, with apps like email, calendar and the web browser. There’s a mode for relaxing weekends, which brings fun to the forefront with music, camera, and photo album panels.

But what are the advantages of a touchscreen phone over a regular or ‘classic’ phone? Studies have shown that touch screens, such as automatic ticket machines that you would find in a train station or a cinema are more intuitive, you see an instruction on the screen and the immediate response is to touch the screen, that response is exactly the same with mobile phones.

Slider Phones A slider phone is fabricated of two segments that slide past each other on rails.

“ Keypad-lock and auto answer... really useful features on slider phones”

phones have a small footprint with big features.

You get a bigger screen than a classic bar shape phone and the auto-keypad lock and auto-answer are really useful standard features on slider phones.

Slider phones have a display which slides over the keyboard – protecting it and locking it to prevent unwanted calls. This design is a clever use of space and would result in a huge phone if the two pieces did not slide over each other.

In-car accessories At The Carphone Warehouse we feel that safety should always come first. We always suggest that anyone thinking about using their mobile phone in the car should look at the bluetooth options on offer – driving while using a mobile phone is illegal.

What is the law? It is an offence to use a mobile phone while driving, unless you are calling 112 or 999. If the Gardaí charge you for this offence you will get a fixed charge notice of €60. If you pay the fixed charge you will get two penalty points. If you choose not to pay the fixed charge and are then convicted in court you will get four penalty points and a fine of up to €2,000. Using a hands-free kit with your phone is completely legal, as long as the phone is not in your hand or being supported by any part of

your body, ie. between your shoulder and the side of your head. You could be prosecuted for dangerous driving, careless driving or driving without due care and attention because of this. And you could also have your licence endorsed or even lose your licence. So remember, the safe control of your car, van or bus is your responsibility.

“Using a mobile phone while driving is illegal. Stay safe with an in-car solution”

Don’t use your mobile phone and drive!
