Importance of good phone cover and screen guard

 The craze for high end mobile phones is high amongst all of you but how many of us buy really good gear for our most loved possession. I doubt only a few of us. Reason we all want to flaunt our phones to others, especially the brand.

That’s the reason such phones don't have a good life reason, the screen of the phone will be damaged and it loses its sheen.

I have this habit of taking good care of my phone which has yielded me good returns. A recent incident has reaffirmed my faith in my habit.

I bought this phone almost a year ago and the first few things which I did while purchasing the phone was to buy a good phone cover other than the one provided by the company and a good quality tamper proof glass on the phone.

Last week I went to an unknown location on my bike using google maps. I had clamped my phone well on the phone holder installed in my bike. While going to the place it was fine but, on my way back the phone just flung in the air and fell on the road. I thought my phone was gone but to my surprise nothing like that happened because the hardened cover on the phone saved it from damage.

Prima facie I thought the screen would be broken looking at the condition of my outer screen guard. But when I came home  and checked the screen one more time, I was sure that there was no damage to the screen of the mobile but I was still dubious about it .

So, I took it to the same shop where I had put the screen guard last time. Last time when they had put the screen guard, I told them, don’t you feel it is expensive but this time I kept quiet, as my phone’s screen was safeguarded only because of that tough screen guard. I even told them about the incident and asked them to put good quality screen guard only. I don’t find it expensive because I have learned my lesson now.

So, if you also want to safeguard your phone and want to keep it new along with a good user experience. Then I think you should start buying a good phone cover and toughened screen guard for it.

Reliance’s strategic business thought keeps it ahead in business

Newspaper, digital media and social circuit is abuzz with Reliance’s new launch Jio, a revolution in Indian telecom industry. Such is the impact of Jio that its competitors in India are trying to come out with more customer oriented plans now. Everyday companies are coming with new plan, reason they fear losing their customer base, which has started to shrink already.

Just to refresh, Reliance had been into telecom for over a decade now.  When Nokia was introducing its handsets in India year ago, Reliance was offering mobile phone with connection as a very reasonable rate, which led to a revolution, where people from all walks of life were in possession of cell phone. Reliance was able to roll out good number of handset in market. To retain customer it launched lot of plans for reliance customers. For Nokia phones one needed to buy a sim from any service provider of their choice.

Even I have a reliance phone, it was bought by me couple of years ago do unlimited STD calls, with the condition being, other user should also be a reliance customer. The experience was awesome, had I tried the same in any other service provider would have been robbed. It was not that I didn’t try with other service provider but no was able to beat Reliance’s offer so didn’t had a choice. I know couple of people who still use reliance phone WHY? Because reliance to reliance calls, are unlimited at nominal charge.

Then came the era of smart phones, where people’s phone changing frequently was at peak. A person would not keep a phone for more than 6 months or so. Then some prominent players in the market came up with lucrative yet expensive mobile plans. After sales service of few of them were lethargic but they stayed in market with their deceptive ads. People suffered a lot. But with not much option in hand they decided to continue with their respective mobile service provider

 Reliance was still in business but had slowed a bit to come out with something revolutionary. It was studying all these behavioral changes in the customer pattern especially in term of usage like net pack, voice calling, SMS etc. The outcome of the study was “Jio” its meaning in hindi is “to live”. Must say their plan offering will is meant for people to live with joy in terms of mobile usage, without worrying much about the cost.

When someone slows down in the race, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he/she is out of race but it can have a different view as well. That they are planning something out of the box to make grand comeback, reliance’s new offering Jio is one such thought. The team which has worked on Jio has thought about one thing ie to benefit to its user in cost effective manner.

I feel that’s the reason WHY Reliance has been to retain its position in market for such long time without much difficulty.

A day without cell phone

Cell phones have become an integral part of our life, we can skip a time’s meal but can’t separate ourselves from our phone even for half an hour. Yesterday was one such day for me when I had to part myself from my cell for the betterment of both.

I had to appear for an all India exam and the admit card had instructions that we should not carry our cell phone with us. Thanks to misuse of it at various exams, that exam centers don’t permit candidates to carry it to the premises also.

Before leaving home I was in dilemma should I carry phone or not? Incase I carry where will I keep it? We can’t keep phones with us even in switch off mode with us. Finally I decided to leave it behind at home but not before charging the phone and putting it in silent mode.

When I reached exam center I saw people carrying phones with them, I was missing my phone terribly then. But before the commencement of exam we were told that cell phones are not allowed and all those who are carrying phone will have to keep it in a room at their own risk.

Left with no other option people kept phone in that room and went their designated exam room. Room was locked immediately we left for exam but still it was big risk. Candidates were busy finding unique locations to hide their cell phone. Post exam we had to wait till everybody gather so that the room could be opened and we can venture in.  The moment we came out of the room, we were given 5 mins time to check our belongings. Post that the exit gate was opened.

Everyone was eager to make call, check messages etc but I didn’t had any such symptoms, mays be because my phone was not with me. But I was happy that it’s not with me as it was safe wherever it was.  

It took time for me to reach home as I had some other work, the best part was I was not in hurry for anything, took time for each thing that I was doing, which I usually missed because of phone calls or in the midst of texting.

When I reached home saw numerable missed calls and messages but I was in no hurry to revert back to anyone in one go. Few important calls were responded at the first given opportunity rest later. Who says we can’t stay away from phone, we can provided we are ready to take the first step.
