Handphones
have become a major part of our lives. Today, it is being widely used
all over the world. Most of us, that is. It has metamorphosized from
being a luxury to necessity for some of us. Handphones are one of the
things that we cannot do without, for one reason or another. We have
come to depend on it, increasingly so, and in doing so it has become a
need. Having handphones can prove to be very useful but it can also be
said otherwise. There are both advantages and disadvantages to owning a
handphone or being in the midst of people who own them.
Owning
a handphone means one can be easily reached when on the road or when
one is not at home or in the office. It can even be used when one is
overseas, using the ROAM service. There are features such as voice
messages and short message sent(sms), in other words, Short Message
Service. This is to allow people to contact a handphone owner even if he
is busy or is unable take the call. These features enable the owner of
the phone to know why he is being called, so on and so forth. SMS-es
help to keep it short. Without calling, you can leave a short message.
Nowadays though, people use it to have conversations, especially the
young, and those who find it easier to message than to talk. It is also
cheaper and thus allows one to save on talk time. Another advantage
would be that of being able to call whenever and wherever there is an
emergency, for example when you are in a road accident or you need to
call someone and there does not seem to be any public phones nearby.
There are also different mobile service plans to choose from to suit
one’s communication needs, be it longer talk time, free incoming or outgoing
calls, or more free local SMS. As such, one can reap much benefits and
save costs. Nowadays, handphones rarely just have one function, which is
to make and receive calls. There are more functions and features such
as listening to music, taking pictures with an in-built camera, playing
games, and even logging on the internet and so on ...(_**_))
