Live the Wireless Life

Why Smartphones Are Good For Society

In today’s increasingly connected world, cell phone availability and widespread use have become ubiquitous. We really can’t go about our everyday lives without seeing someone talking, texting, or scrolling through social media on their phones. While many opponents of technology have argued that cell phones are a destructive force in our society (smh), there is a wide range of valid opinions on the value that cell phones can bring to our lives.

Stay Connected

One of the greatest advantages of cell phones is that they keep us connected. In fact, they’re incredibly useful that way. In our rapidly paced world, it’s nearly impossible to stay in contact with family, friends, and coworkers without the help of cell phones. Cell phones keep us connected on all levels, whether it’s a quick text, an important phone call, or a video chat. Furthermore, apps like Skype, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger allow us to stay connected with friends and family who live far away. These apps enable us to stay in touch with grandparents who live in Italy (while we’re in New York City), and best friends in Kansas City (when we’re in Anchorage, Alaska!) and allow face-to-face communication that would otherwise be impossible. Likewise, with the introduction of the “mobile office,” even business professionals can stay connected and access information from any corner of the world – coffee shops, mountaintops, you name it – with help from their phones.

What’s the 4-1-1?

Cell phones are also incredibly helpful when it comes to providing quick and easy access to important information. Thanks to the power of the internet, we can now access a wealth of valuable information with just a few taps on a screen. Cell phones make accessing and utilizing information incredibly convenient, whether it’s researching a school project, applying for a job, launching a side hustle, finding a new recipe, or looking up directions. And speaking of directions, since most cell phones now come equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities we can find the quickest routes and shortest commutes with a single tap. Thanks to GPS technology, cell phones are the perfect companions for any traveler or commuter – providing help and guidance at all times.

But if you need 9-1-1…

Cell phones can be incredibly helpful during moments of crisis. In an emergency, a call to 911 is often the best way to get help. With cell phones, calling for help as soon as possible is much easier than looking for a landline phone or flagging down a passerby for assistance. In addition, cell phones can also be important tools for providing help, as most phones now come equipped with cameras, medical advice apps, and the GPS function mentioned above. All of these features can help those in need and could even help save lives.

What kind of work do you do? Pretty much any kind you want, thanks to smartphones

Cell phone technology has created an array of new employment opportunities, ranging from technical fields to creative pursuits and beyond. Following are just a few:

Design & Development

Beginning with the most obvious, employment opportunities created by cell phone technology are found in the design, development, and engineering processes of developing and providing new phones and services. Companies such as Apple and Samsung employ teams of engineers and designers to keep developing new innovations in the cell phone industry. This creates tech-savvy jobs for those in programming, software engineering, hardware engineering, and digital design. Additionally, many large cell phone companies now employ software developers to create applications that enhance these devices' usability.

Administrative

Looking further afield, phone companies also need administrative and customer service staff in their customer service divisions, to answer queries from users and help them with any problems they have with their devices. In addition, customer service roles are available in retail stores, as representatives of companies and their products. Phone companies may also need people to demonstrate the capabilities of the phones, sell them in-store, or help with any other inquiries customers have.

Remote Work

Cell phone technology has created an environment of increased connectivity and flexibility. This has allowed many to take their work with them and create a range of new opportunities in the form of remote or flexible work. Remote work has been made possible through the use of cellular technology, with people being able to work from anywhere, effectively increasing the global labor pool. This creates new opportunities for those with the appropriate skills and experience, allowing them to work from home, or anywhere in the world.

Mobile Marketers

In addition, many modern companies are employing mobile marketers, who are responsible for creating and managing campaigns designed to reach a mobile audience. These roles require an understanding of how people use their phones and the function of various applications, as well as experience in creating marketing campaigns.

Cell phones have revolutionized the way we live our lives, from how we communicate to the kind of work we do and where we do it. From staying connected with family, friends, and clients, to providing quick and easy access to essential information, cell phones offer a variety of useful, powerful benefits. How opponents of technology can argue that cell phones are in any way destructive is a mystery, especially since the future is brighter for everyone thanks to these devices. This wireless life we’re living will continue to evolve and open doors for people all over the globe, improving millions of lives along the way.

What our customers are saying…

“I have been using H2O prepaid service for more than 3 years. I get a good connection in the mid-west and other places I have visited in the US, with no dropped calls. I only recharge when my balance is low and never had any issue with their customer service. I have contacted their customer service on few occasions, and they’ve been most helpful.”

With H2O Wireless, you get the best cell phone coverage for less and the best unlimited plans – not to mention the most cost-effective, realistically priced unlimited plans – anywhere.

Or, choose our 12 month plan for just $8.33 a month!

With H2O Wireless’ 12 Month Plan, you purchase service once and you’re done for the year. No worrying about missing a payment or tracking the expense. You simply make a one-time payment of $100 using your credit or debit card, and that’s it. Our 12 Month Plan breaks down to crazy low $8.33 a month, and gives you an entire year of unlimited talk and text, as well as 1GB of high-speed data every month. There are no other payments to make or additional steps to take. Plus there’s no contract and no hidden fees.

Let's talk about “unlimited data”

With so many cellular phone businesses vying for your money, it’s difficult to tell which you can trust. The overpriced services clamber, “Pick me!” with promises of low cost, unlimited data plans. But do you really need an unlimited amount of data? Will you use all of that data? Maybe. But if you don’t, guess what? You still have to pay for it.

If you’re on a $70 a month plan which gives you up to 23GB of data it means you’re paying $3.04 per GB of data. And if you’re using just 4GB a month (which is what most people typically use), you’re paying $57.40 per month for data you’re not using. Ouch.

The truth is…

Most people use just 2-5GB of data per billing cycle, and that’s because you’d have to spend every waking moment, 24-hours a day, 7-days a week online to exceed that amount. The average consumer doesn’t do that, and that’s why the average consumer doesn’t need a $50, $60 or $70 a month unlimited plan!

At H2O Wireless, we don’t think you should pay for data you don’t need and aren’t going to use.

That’s why we’re proud to offer you plans starting as low as $18 a month (with auto pay) for unlimited talk and text and 2GB of data.

Need more data one month? Simply go into your account portal and add more. When next month rolls around, if you need less data, you can go right back into your portal and reduce it. Simply log onto PureTalk.com, click on My Account, and select Manage My Data. Make your changes, save them, and log out. It’s that simple.

Plus, H2O Wireless Connects You to the World

Each H2O Wireless Monthly Unlimited Plan includes unlimited international talk to 70 Countries (including China and Mexico), unlimited text to any country in the world, and up to $5 international talk credit depending on the plan you select.

Purchase these features whenever you need:

“I have had H2O monthly unlimited for a few years now. I use WIFI and Data interchangeably, and don't even think about it. My data is unlimited, and even if I stream videos or the news to my phone any time I want, I have never had it slow down.”
