Mobile phone ringtones have been around for nearly a decade now, with the first commercial ringtone services said to have emerged in Finland in 1997. Gradually, they have become an established part of modern life, with some of them becoming headline news over the years. So as we look back over the history of ringtones, which stand out as the “big hits” or “classics” of this new kind of music format? Here is an attempt at a top 10 list.

Nokia Tune

The Nokia Tune, based on a 13 note rendering of “Gran Vals” by Francisco Tarrega, a 19th-century Spanish musician, is typically included within all Nokia handsets as the default ringtone and has therefore become famous or infamous due to its popularity. It is the typical ringtone of the middle-aged business man who hasn’t got the time or inclination to work out how to change it.

Mosquito Tone

The mosquito tone or “Teen Buzz” is based on adaption of a high-frequency sound designed to repel teenagers from hanging around outside shops, without bothering older people, who could not hear the sound due its pitch. It began being used and sold as a “silent ringtone” for teenagers to use, for example in class, without the teacher being able to hear it.

Crazy Frog

The “Crazy Frog” ringtone was based on an animation called “The Annoying Thing” by Erik Wernquist, and made famous by the mobile content company Jamba who heavily promoted “The Crazy Frog” on TV and the internet. The ringtone spawned a chart hit based on a remix of “Alex F” which went to No.1 in the UK, Japan, Australia and a number of European countries;.

Nokia Morse Code SMS alert

Similar to the Nokia Tune, the Nokia SMS alert is probably the most famous “SMS tone” designed to be used for text message notifications. The tone spells out “S-M-S” in Morse Code.

Classic telephone ring

With the rise of personalised tones a lot of people have decided to avoid them in favour of the classic “bell ringing” sound of a normal telephone. A number of surveys over the years have shown this to be one of the most popular tones.

Sir Mixalot

In 1992, Sir Mixalot, a rapper had a huge hit with “Baby Got Back” which was re-recorded as a ringtone with the lyrics “Pick up the phone! Pick up the phone! ‘Cause you don’t want to miss this call and I cannot lie!.” This was one of the first “ringtone remixes” of popular songs to achieve success after being marketed by Jamba, the same company that produced the Crazy Frog ringtone.

R2D2 Ringtone

Ringtones based on the sounds “R2D2” from the film Star Wars makes in the film are emerging as a popular choice for ringtones. R2D2 sounds make a great choice for a ringtone as they are loud, easily heard and distinctive but just about manage to avoid a tack, novelty feel like some ringtones.

Nokia Dying Remix

Based on the classic Nokia Tune, the Nokia “Dying” or “Flat Battery” remix is a humorous version of the classic Nokia Tune where the sound eventually goes flat or explodes, giving a nod to the annoyance that it can cause when heard repeatedly.

CTU Ringtone

The popular TV show “24” features a highly recognisable ringtone on the phones in the CTU office complex. The same sound is now being marketed as a ringtone for mobile phones and is rapidly becoming a big hit.

iphone ringtone

When Steve Jobs announced the launch of the iphone in early 2007, his demonstration included a ringtone, which was quickly made available as a recording by a number of websites. The ringtone has been described as like “holy angels tinkling” and was eventually included within the standard ringtone set on the iphone.

There are so many reseller programs now available particularly for online businesses such as web hosting and text marketing. These are the types of businesses that are easily adaptable to become available for resellers. Many resellers will do so through white labeling or private label reselling. This is a good way to start your own online business or to add a service to your already existing online enterprise. Many who are knew to this type of online enterprise may not understand the difference between white label vs. private label reseller programs. As previously mentioned, there is little difference between the meaning of white label vs private label when it comes to reseller programs. Both terms are used to describe the same type of reseller marketing.

Definition of white label marketing:

A product or service where the provider of the service purchases a supported product from another source and then applies its own name, brand or identity to the service and sells it as its own product. Through white labeling, the customer should assume the seller is selling its own product.

Definition of private label marketing:

Similarly to white label, a private label product is one that is manufactures and provided by one company but is sold under the name or identity of a different company. Private label can occur in a variety of products and services including online reseller programs as well as foods, cosmetics, and web hosting. Most of the time the products offered under private label are offered as the lower cost alternative products compared to the “name brand” of the product or service. Businesses of all sizes offer various types of private label marketing.

As you can see, both white label and private label can be used interchangeable with reseller programs. Most reseller programs under white labeling often find it is far more lucrative business than what is sold through the original business. With consumers always looking for ways to save money while shopping, they often allocate their shopping dollars to generic store-name brands, or will go with the reseller company that can offer the best and most affordable deal. This is standard practice for most consumers, which is why reselling can be a great way to make money online. Most consumers also know and understand that name brand services are not necessarily any better than what is offered by the generic or business label that is private. Because they know this, those who choose to become a reseller can easily undercut the prices of other providers and still make a profit by making the same quality of service cost less, and therefore become more appealing to potential customers.

The difference:

While it may seem that white label and private label are the same thing because they have such a similar meaning, the terms cannot be used interchangeably. The difference between these two types of marketing is that with private labeling, it is a practice that is generally followed in stores. The product is generally manufactured by the same manufacturer that creates the same product for the name brand also sold in stores. With white labeling, it is traditionally used in reference to a service particularly sold online. With white label the logo and name are on the label, the location where they are available for purchase is also on the label as well as the price that the reseller sets. However, with private label, the logo and name are on the label. The locations at which the products are available for purchase is also listed along with the price and what is contained in the box or packaging.

White labeling and private labeling is helpful for those who are interested in starting an online business, but need the support and resources to do so. Reseller programs are an easy and affordable way to make money online or to add a service to your online business. With white label reseller programs, you can make the business your own. All you need is a business/service name and a website. With these tools, you can use your salesman skills to get your own clients, help them manage their accounts and continue bringing in more business. By doing this, you can easily start up your own online business without the hassle of getting a business license and actually go through the formalities of starting up your own business. However, it is important to keep in mind that with white labeling or private label reseller programs, you become entirely responsible for the entire service and operation. This is because with white label, the service you are taking on is your own. This means you control customer accounts, the control panel as well as customer support, billing, etc. With the customer support part of the service, you can always consult the original business to get more information about the product and service and trouble shooting issues if you ever need help in order to provide assistance to your own customers. If you are ready to take on the responsibilities associated with white labeling and private labeling reseller programs, this is a great chance to make money online selling a product you believe in.

Today’s competitive global economy results in frequent cross-border movements of staff that results in a growing diversity at the workplace. As the inevitable happens between cultures, breakdowns in communication are a common occurrence. That is certainly costly to the multinational enterprise in terms of workplace relations, returns and revenues, and customer relationship. Not to mention, the firm’s competitive advantage.

As such, three main obstacles to intercultural communication are identified and accordingly expounded further below. It is noteworthy to the International Assignee the consequences if due care is not exercised when interacting with non-native English speakers.

1. Language

* Accents

The transfer of International Assignees across geographical borders perpetuates the use of the English language. That has never been as pervasive or as widely, although variations of the language and degree of fluency differ from country to country, individual to individual.

As it is, usage of slang and jargon – examples: sport, technical – is to be avoided unless the Assignee is very sure the local audience understands them well. Also, the presence of globally known brands, products and services does not mean that the locals possess the same level of mindset.

It is therefore imperative that the Assignee be sensitive of both connotations and implications that may arise as a result of local usage; further influenced by the local languages where English is a second or third, or foreign language.

2. Modern Technology

* Video Conferencing / Teleconferencing

The advent of modern technology, especially the Internet, has made access easier and cheaper to people worldwide such that it helped speed up globalisation. Similarly, the pervasive use of technological tools like Short Message Service [SMS] and e-mail amongst locals does not mean that cultural mishaps will not occur.

The difficulty that comes with the aforesaid tools is gauging the recipients’ expressions. Their responses could be not what the Assignee expects or least anticipates. On the other hand, the ease of communicating electronically removes formality and business etiquette that can not only be misconstrued but also leads to a breakdown in communication.

Hence, it is pertinent on the Assignee’s part to convey himself as clearly and plainly as possible to avoid any misunderstandings that may arise.

3. Behaviourial and Mindset

* Discrimination = Racial, Sexual, Educational

Coming from a culture that upholds individualism, privacy and independence; the Assignee will certainly experience shock, resistance, and to a lesser degree, disgust towards the host culture that is perceived as inferior. Which as a result, he may withdraw himself seeking similar individuals; or refusal to adapt accordingly to his environment.

The Assignee may also display anxiety and discomfort if he has not come across – or having little or rare opportunities to socialise with – people of other cultures before. He will lose sight on effectively communicating his ideas as his fear[s] of not being understood – amongst others – overwhelms him.

Thus, it is to both the organisation’s long-term interest and the Assignee’s well-being that he has the ability to manage the conflicts well enough. Otherwise it is detrimental to his work performance which can affect the entire department’s morale as a whole.

One Last Word…

It is convenient to dismiss Cultural Differences as the major or sole reason for a breakdown in communication – which does not serve the International Assignee well in the long run. Instead, he could be more proactive by confronting the issues that prevented him from working closely with his team.

By addressing the problem and then taking practical steps to remedy any unintentional misunderstanding caused; such actions will not only make him more motivated at work but his stay more pleasant too.

Just remember: Treat anyone regardless of ethnic, racial or cultural background the same way you would want to be treated.

There are a great number of people even in developing countries who have, in one way or another, experienced using SMS or Short Message System using mobile phones. In fact, when people hear the word SMS or Text message, most would readily associate the term with mobile phones. An extended standard in messaging called MMS or Multimedia Messaging Service is similar to SMS except for the added capability of sending not only text messages but audio, video and pictures as well.

SMS and MMS has been a profitable element in the mobile business, with major networks registering more than 150 billion text messages and 4 billion MMS for each quarter of the year. Research show that teens in the United States send an average of more than 100 text messages on a daily basis – more than the daily emails sent by office workers on the average. This is the primary why operators continue to support SMS and MMS features in their networks.

With the ever growing popularity of VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol systems and networks, it would only be logical to expect the same SMS and MMS features to be available in this telecommunication infrastructure. With the reduced cost of sending voice and data communication packets via the internet in these systems, the use of SMS and MMS over the VoIP network will be more appealing than ever.

Why Use SMS/MMS in the First Place?

The use of mobile phones has grown rampant over the years and even people from developing nations don the latest mobile phones and gadgets. One of the main reasons why this phenomenon has grown to such magnitude is the SMS feature built-in into their mobile networks — a cheap and very convenient way to communicate while on the go from practically anywhere. This is a great alternative means of communication to spending considerable airtime costs through direct phone-to-phone calls.

Service providers on the other hand are using these SMS/MMS facilities as an added service for their subscribers as a way of maintaining loyalty. As mentioned earlier, the volume of SMS/MMS messages sent on a daily basis proved that it is definitely a very viable cash cow for these operators. On top of that, the SMS/MMS facilities can be a great marketing tool for new products, services and offers without falling into the spamming category.

Sending SMS/MMS through VoIP Networks

With VoIP networks and Internet Telephony Service Providers slowly moving into mainstream telecommunications, the added feature of SMS/MMS messaging capabilities will surely be a required service by most subscribers. With multi-protocol facilities for VoIP networks which include the H.323, SIP and most recently the 3G standards, sending SMS/MMS messages will likely become more efficient than ever.

Several VoIP providers have already jumped into place and added SMS/MMS capabilities within their networks, with very affordable pricing models inclusive of call time. Affordable mobile VoIP solutions will also be marketed and integrated into these services, adding a more mobile experience for VoIP users as well as including compatibility with existing cellular networks. These mobile VoIP phones will likely be packed with features similar to standard mobile phones, which include colored displays, cameras, e-mail, phonebooks and SMS/MMS facilities.

We all have a need of a bug: Sometimes you may have the need to spy on someone with a wireless bug. I think I have the most practical solution for you. You do not have to buy an expensive spy device or anything complicated. You may already own what you need if you have an unused cell phone that has service.

Here is what you do: you need to have an extra cell phone that has service. You can use any of these throwaway phones you buy at Walmart for any other store they only cost $10. You will also need to get the headset that goes with the phone if it is not included. The most clever thing you’ll have to do is figure out a way to hide the bug.

Time to act: With just a little initiative and some planning you will only be limited by the battery life and airtime you have on the phone. This will be an on demand bug that you can turn off and on under your control. It is so obvious that I am surprised that most people do not do this when they need a bug.

Just like a “real” spy: The same trick was used in the series burn notice starring Jeffrey Donovan as Michael Weston. However you will not have to do all the stuff he did to make this work. If you want to be extra careful you can do what he did. The only difference between his bug and mine is that I do not have you unsolder speaker wires inside the phone. That way there is no electronics technical work in my process.

The preparation: Make sure your batteries charged. Make sure you have activated the phone if it is a new phone. Hook up the headset to the cell phone. Almost every cell phone has an auto answer option when the headset is attached. Choose the auto answer option on the phone. Make sure that the ring tone is silent and if there are options to turn off any lights turn them off and make sure vibration is off. Also, make sure that the messaging or SMS to set the silent and no vibration also. You do not want to be given away by a free message from the service provider.

Now comes your part: Before you do anything else, make sure to test your bug. Next, You will have to find the hiding place for this bug. You need to put it in a location to where I can pick up the conversation you are trying to bug. I cannot help you with this because I do not know if you want to put it in a car or in a room or in a house. You can hide it in something as simple as a Kleenex box under a layer of tissue.

Option b: You could just accidentally leave the phone behind. If it does not flash or vibrate or make noise no one will notice. That may be your choice as no one would suspect that you hit it anywhere. Instead it is out in the open where everyone can see and they all know you that you just left it there.

Timing is everything: Now what you need to do is know when your target is in the area of the phone. How you do this is up to you. Whether you have someone helping you or you are just watching or you are just guessing because of habits of when a person will be at the location. Then you just call the cell phone from your own phone. That phone will not ring because you have it set the silent. It should answer because is on auto answer. Just listen in that’s all you have to do now.

To record or not record: I will not discuss how to hook up recording device to the phone at this time, perhaps in another article. However, if you decide to record your eavesdropping, be sure to check the laws of your state before proceeding. Most likely you would not be a would use the recording of the conversation in any kind of legal situation. The recording of the conversation is likely to be illegal. However, it is a great intelligence source it by any means.

Be your own detective: any time the spy operation like this always be safe.

What is a Strategic Window?

The term strategic window is the limited periods during which the “fit” between the key requirements of a market and the particular competencies of a firm competing in that market is at an optimum. In this paper we will use VXL Instrument’s case to elaborate the concept.

What is VXL’s Business?

VXL Instruments is enabling companies around the world build a flexible, secure, manageable and cost-efficient IT infrastructure. Its range of thin client devices helps enterprises beat the cycle of desktop obsolescence, free internal resources from non-productive functions, and save millions of dollars that is spent in securing systems. The thin client is a server-centric computing model in which the application software, data, and CPU power resides on a network server rather than on the client computer.VXL Instruments won “Highest IT-Hardware Exporter Award in Non-SSI category” for year 2006-2007.

VXL’s Dilemma

VXL Instruments is leading manufacturer of thin client devices and commands 11% share in global market. Its major chunk of sales comes from export to US and EU. The company is trying to explore new market in India for its thin client devices. Competitors like Wyse and HP offer diverse range of product not only in west but also in India. Therefore, it’s high time that company starts thinking about Indian market.

How to market TC in India?

Company’s products like TC23xx and TC73xx are reliable and cost-effective. The (thin client) TC can help in eradicating various pain in server based computing. It is very useful in case of SME’s (Small and medium scale enterprises) where computing requirements are pretty specific. In case of sectors like hospitality, we need to explore various value unlocking features so that they can charge a premium. The major challenges are following:

1. How to provide maximum utility without making product too much complex?

2. How to convince existing clients to change from fat clients to thin clients?

3. How to market TC in India?

Actually the answer of third question will give us a frame work for finding the answers for first two questions.

I will consider VXL a minimum risk taking company. It’s more product centric than customer centric. Therefore, its products are world class but market penetration is not that impressive. Presently, VXL markets its products through client interaction and third party distributors like Priya Limited. This approach reduces marketing expenses but the approach has its own limitations.

In 2005, Mumbai-based distributor Priya Ltd invested $2 million (around Rs 10 crore) in equity in VXL Instruments. The investment was part of the trade finance arrangement that gave VXL $9 million (around Rs 45 crore) aimed at funding its growth.

VXL chalked out expansion plans and a growth strategy with a view to increase its market share of thin client to 25 percent by 2007-2008. It has made inroad in different verticals like ERP, Health, Telecom, Education and Banking with client list including SAP Belgium, Birmingham City Hospital UK, DOT India, British Telecom, IIM Lucknow, IIT Roorkie, Haga Bank Jakarta and HDFC India etc. But presently its market share is much below its target.

Product Awareness & Customer Perception

We can roughly divide the customers into two categories:

* Techno Savvy Customers with financial Muscle: These type of customers, already know about the products (TC) and we need to convince them that thin client is a better option over Fat client. For example Velankani group’s upcoming 5-Star hotel in Electronic City, Bangalore. The Velankani’s are in IT and infrastructure and they are aware about technology and its implementation. According to Mr. R. Shiva Kumar (Manager Information System, Velankani), these types of customers should better be approached when the product is in its embryonic stage. Once they acquire fat clients (FC) for their project, they won’t be interested in TC due to switch over cost. Here we need to market TC as a device which will not only reduce the total cost of ownership but also provide simple solution for all comfort requirements.

* Less Techno Savvy with Medium Range Investment Capabilities: These types of customers don’t have their own IT department. They generally play safe and go for the fat client technology being used by other players in their segment. More over they consider their computing needs are minimal and don’t find IT investments much attractive. Here, we need to educate them about various advantage of server based computing and advantage of TC over FC. These types of firms should be approached for providing total solution.

Market Redefinition

Frequently, as markets evolve, the fundamental definition of the market changes in ways which increasingly disqualify some competitors while providing opportunity for the others. The trend towards marketing “system” of products as opposed to individual piece of equipments provides many examples of this phenomenon. We will discuss this point with the help of Docutel case.

Docutel: This manufacturer of automatic teller machine (ATM’s) supplied virtually all the ATM’s in US up to late 1974. In early 1975, Docutel found itself losing its market share to large computer companies such as Burroughs, Honeywell, and IBM as these manufacturers began to look at the banks’ total EFTS (Electronic Fund Transfer System) needs. They offered the bank a package of equipment representing a complete system of which the ATM was only a component. In essence their success can be attributed to the fact that they redefined the market in a way that increasingly appeared to disqualify Docutel as a potential supplier.

Conclusion

Market redefinition is not only limited to the banking industry; similar trends are underway in scientific instrumentation (Steel, Cement, and Aluminium Industries), process control equipments (Siemens, Vesuvius and SMS redefined the market); the machine tool industry, office & household equipment (VXL is already a player) and electronic control gear as some of the other examples. In each case, manufacturers basing their approach on the marketing of individual hardware items are seeing their “strategic window” closing as computer systems producers move in to take advantage of emerging opportunities. HP has capitalized sufficient TC market by virtue of some aggressive M&A. In India companies like HCL Technologies and Satyam are planning to enter in TC market as a total solution provider. Wipro is also exploring opportunities in SME. We can expect Wipro to venture in this segment, in near future.

As the competition grows SME’s are also becoming lean. Most of firms are following make-to-order philosophy of manufacturing. All these need free flow of materials, information and finances imperative. As the practices are changing, many new applications of networking technology have evolved. Here, we can see a scope for VXL being a consultancy provider and not a mere product manufacturer.

If a cellular phone isn’t a smartphone (i. E., a Blackberry, iPhone Android or other windows mobile device), the easiest solution is to acquire a microchip, covertly attaching it to the inside of the phone. This way, the phone can be tracked anywhere and anytime. However, these aforementioned microchips can be quite pricey, but are available online.

If a mobile device in question is a smartphone, it is a lot simpler to trace. Aside from tracking, other information from the phone can also be accessed – text or SMS messages, phone calls and browser settings. All this information and more is stored online where it can be viewed whenever via access of a remote server.

It will be completely and extremely easy to discover who’s been calling the mobile phone, and all outbound calls. It can note all messages: text or SMS. Some even have the option to record calls. The tracking software is also able to view all of the website history and e-mails that said smartphone encounters.

There are several types of mobile phone tracking software which is available to download online. Primary concern is to thoroughly read up on these, making a decision that most congeals with what one would like to happen. Be sure to note the type of smartphone that will be tracked, and its operating system, etc. There are some instances of tracking software that will be a lot better depending on the type of smartphone and also the operating system.

There are always some calculated risks that have been associated with downloading software, especially those methods used in phone tracking. Though the person who is being tracked will be more or less unaware of what is going on, software downloaded from the Internet may or may not install viruses on your computer, or download and install unwanted toolbars or other annoying software that is unwanted. Be sure to thoroughly read everything in the installation, making sure to uncheck boxes so it doesn’t happen.

Be prepared for consequences if the one being tracked by now about the tracking software or tracking device. Human beings do not generally favor being spied upon, and whatever is gathered using these covert means is probably not going to be legally admissible in any court proceedings, seeing as the trackee has been a victim of privacy rights violations. Make sure any and all tracks have been covered when using these or any type of surveillance.

Track cell phones more easily than ever before utilizing these methods. Having the correct hardware or software, others can now be tracked through their phones with no knowledge that their steps are being watched. Some software is more useful than other brands of software, so make sure to read reviews regarding the effectiveness of these covert operations.

Are wondering whether you can retrieve deleted SMS? Need to know is It possible to retrieve deleted text messages? If so then you’re in the right place as in this article I will show exactly how to go about retrieving deleted text messages. So keep reading to learn how to get your lost SMS’s and other Sim Card Data back.

Firstly let me explain how it is possible to retrieve deleted text messages. You see a Sim card doesn’t immediately erase a file once you delete it. Instead it just frees up the space that was occupied by that file (massage) and lists its space as available re-usable space. However until that space is overwritten by new data, in your case new messages, phone numbers etc., your old deleted file is still there and can be recovered.

Now in order to get the deleted messages back you are going to need two tools. One of them is a USB Sim card reader and the other is a decent Sim Card recovery program.

Sim card recovery programs are very similar to Data recovery software but they are designed specifically for recovering data from Sim Cards.
