There seems to be a fair amount of confusion and misinformation around the subject of unlocking mobile devices. Many people are under the impression that unlocking their mobile phone is an illegal act, and one likely to create problems with the functioning of their phone.
In fact, unlocking is perfectly legal, easy to do and can greatly enhance the functionality of your phone.
If you own a GSM mobile phone, and it is currently locked into service with a specific network service provider, you are well within your rights to unlock your phone and choose a provider that offers you better roaming rates and service.
There is only one situation in which it is illegal to unlock your mobile phone, and that is when you have signed a contract specifying that your phone will remain the property of the mobile network provider. This is sometimes the case when a mobile network provider makes a mobile phone available to you for free in exchange for a specific, longer-term usage contract. In some rare cases, unlocking your phone may void your phone’s warranty with a particular network carrier. If you are unsure whether the terms of your service contract give you ownership of your mobile phone, call your provider and ask. In most cases, the mobile Read the rest of this entry »

I often joke with my new client’s that we (mobile phone companies) purposely make mobile phone bills confusing just to make it difficult for them to see exactly what they’re being charged.
If you’re often having difficulty making sense of the fees and charges that appear on your mobile phone bill then perhaps the information I’ve appended below will help you get a better understanding of how to accurately read and decipher your account.
Probably 80% of the clients I meet don’t have a clear understanding of their mobile phone call rates; or what they believe they’re are being charged and what is actually being charged are two completely different things! To calculate your mobile phone call rates follow these steps:
a). FIND A 30 SECOND PHONE CALLb). FIND A 1 MINUTE PHONE CALLc). DEDUCT THE COST OF THE 30 SECOND CALL (a) FROM THE 1 MINUTE CALL (b)
This will generally provide you with your “real” call cost per 30 seconds. You’ll now notice that the new 30 second charge varies from the 30 second phone call cost (a) that you found in your mobile phone bill. This variance is due to an additional fee referred to as “flagfall” or “connection fee”. If you now deduct the new 30 second phone call cost from the original 30 second phone call cost (a) you’ll end up with a figure that is your flagfall cost per phone call.

Changes to Victorian Road Rules that specifically target the use of mobile phones and visual displays (like GPS devices); will take effect from 9 November 2009.
The new mobile phone rules have been revised, allowing both the navigational (GPS) and audio/music functions of a mobile phone to be used, provided the mobile phone is secured in a commercially designed holder fixed to the vehicle.
Mobile phones – Using a mobile phone while driving is prohibited, except to make or receive a phone call or to use its audio/music functions provided the phone:
Further changes include the prohibition of Learner and P1 drivers from using a mobile phone at all while driving and holding the phone (whether or not engaged in a phone call), which includes resting the mobile on the driver’s lap.
Visual display units – A driver must not drive a vehicle that has a television receiver or a visual display unit operating if any part of the screen is visible to the driver or is likely to distract another driver. A driver can use a driver’s aid such as a navigation device but it must be an integrated part of the vehicle design, or secured in a commercially designed holder, which is fixed to the vehicle.
Exemptions – The rule relating to securing visual display units does not apply to motorcycles.
Road safety reasons – Using a mobile phone or a visual display unit as you drive is distracting and creates dangerous situations that could be fatal. The risk of being involved in a crash increases by as much as four times, when using a mobile phone as you drive, and if you are texting the risk of crashing increases to 23 times.
Demerit points and fines – Over the next few months, Victorian Road Traffic Police will be actively enforcing the changes to mobile phone and GPS use whilst driving. Penalties for infringing these rules can be costly, not only financially but also from a “demerit points” perspective as well!A standard demerit point deduction of 3 points now applies to an infringement of these rules, along with a $234 “on the spot” fine. A complete list of Road Traffic offences and applicable demerit points can be accessed by clicking here.
In Summary – Have your mobile phone (or GPS device) mounted in a cradle and “fix” the cradle to a point in your vehicle that doesn’t obscure your vision.
Consider purchasing a “Bluetooth” device that will allow you to receive and make calls without touching your mobile phone. The investment required for a Bluetooth device maybe the best investment you’ll make this year.
