Do I Want a Smartphone or a Feature Phone?


In order to decide between a smartphone and a feature phone, you may first wonder just what the differences are. Wikipedia describes smartphones as similar to handheld computers that are integrated with a mobile telephone. Phones that are not smartphones are called feature phones. Typically, smartphones have advanced capabilities beyond most feature phones. Smartphones run on standard operating systems that enable the use of third-party applications (apps). Compared to feature phones, smartphones usually have larger displays and more powerful processors. Other aspects of smartphones may include, but are not limited to, HTML Web browsers in lieu of the less user-friendly mobile Web (WAP), automatic sending and receiving e-mails, document editing, calendar syncing, and QWERTY keyboards, although some feature phones also provide some of these characteristics.

Today the distinctions are becoming vague and blurred, but in general, smartphones are more expensive and need more costly data plans. This is because smartphones use massive data if utilized as intended.

Still wondering which phone is for you? Ask yourself these questions: Would I like the ability to have a mobile computer-type phone in the palm of my hand wherever I go? Am I willing to spend a little bit more on a phone and monthly bill to have constant and near-effortless Internet access? Would I use my cell phone in my business to monitor my e-mail? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you are most-likely a perfect candidate for a smartphone. PTCI has several popular models to choose from that you will love! Ask your local customer service representative for help deciding which phone is right for you.
