Do prepaid phones have a texting option?

Yes, some do and some don't. Depends which phone you have. It's the phone not the plan that provides the texting ability. You can add a texting feature to the plan you choose.

Five levels of communication?

In the digital world in which we live, it has become too easy to send emails, ping people via instant message, text, tweet, etc. Upon reflection, I think I've been too haphazard about how I communicate with my colleagues, clients, friends, and family. Oftentimes, an email about a problem should have been a phone call. And sometimes a phone call should have been an in-person meeting.

Knowing what to say and when to say it is not enough. In the modern day, we must decide HOW to communicate.

Consider the five levels of communication:

Level 1: Message into the Ether

Snail mail and email have a few things in common: They can be of any length, and they are not conversational. Emails and letters are sent out, and then new messages are composed and returned. Sometimes it takes days or weeks before a response arrives. Since emails and letters are not conversational (they lump all points together rather than go point, counterpoint, point, etc…), there is a HIGH LEVEL of misunderstanding with this medium of communication. As many of us know, little issues can escalate over email.

Level 2: Back-and-Forth Messaging

Whether it is via instant message or text, the next level of communication is conversational but still conducted remotely. As points go back and forth, there is a more casual exchange that is also more direct. Misunderstandings are less likely because each message is quick and each participant can detect if they were misunderstood by the reply. However, the bite-size quality of this form of messaging means it's not well-suited to discussing complex matters.

Level 3: A Verbal Dialog

In a verbal exchange, participants get to voice their opinions and relay a whole new level of data through their inflection. Inflection reveals elements like frustration, annoyance, and stress that are harder to detect in written communication. One major drawback is that verbal discussions often require scheduling. But, as my colleagues can attest, when a customer is upset I believe it is best to just pick up the phone and discuss it!

Level 4: The In-Person Spontaneous Discussion

When something important comes up, you might decide to just drop by a colleague's desk and start talking. Such spontaneous discussions are often more effective than messages and phone conversations. The benefits of visually seeing each other will add a whole new level of mutual understanding to the discussion. Of course, there are numerous detriments to this level of communication. The fact that others are likely in the vicinity makes it less intimate, and spontaneity doesn't work for everyone.

Level 5: The In-Person Scheduled Discussion

Planning an in-person discussion allows both participants to think about the topic in advance. The communication that ensues is the most dynamic possible. Inflection and visual cues allow you to gather non-verbal intelligence to ensure clarity. Privacy ensures comfort. Of course, a scheduled discussion doesn't necessarily mean that it is formal. I will often plan an important conversation to address a concern over breakfast or lunch. What makes this level of communication so sacred is the mutually agreed upon time set aside for direct discussion.

***

After understanding the five levels of communication, you can start to decide which level is most appropriate for particular situations. With so many options, it can be easy to choose the path of least resistance rather than focusing on your objective and which level of communication will help you achieve it.

We get in trouble when we chose to communicate the easy way versus the right way. As our channels for communication expand, we must endeavor to be more thoughtful about how and when we communicate. In my research of admired leaders, I have found that communication judgment is an increasingly important factor of success. Knowing what can be done with "Level 2" communication versus what must be done "Level 5" is a sign of sound leadership instinct.

Is a cell phone a computer?

You could argue that something like an iPhone is a computer. It has an internal processor and memory as well as a display screen and input screen. It is run by software that people can hack. You can download "apps" (which are computer programs) and if you know how you can even write your own apps. Apple advertises that you can do everything from calculating tips to printing out shipping labels. They are basically pushing it as a tiny computer with sophisticated wireless communications capabilities.

In fact, the iPhone is more powerful than a computer the size of a refrigerator was about twenty years ago. It has more computing power, more storage, and more sophisticated interfaces.

Of course, every cell phone has one or more microprocessors built into it just to perform basic calling functions. But as more and more functions are added to even basic phones, the lines are blurring and the answer to your question depends on how you want to define the word "computer."

Can you file a lawsuit against a school if they take and keep your child's cell phone and your child needs it in an emergency?

That cell phone is private property and they have to return it. They can prohibit anyone from having a cell phone during school hours.

And if there really was an emergency I'm sure the Principle and other teachers would help the child to a phone. Just like they did before cell phones existed. It's still very rare it's an actual emergency and the parents can always call the school. Most teachers don't allow it being switched on during class anyway.

You might think that. But what if a child is walking home and someone attacks him/her and there cell phone was still in school lock up. Kids should be alowd to have phones on them but on silent, and therfore instead of taking the phone give them a lunch detention. Seriously..

Does the new cell phone carrier notify the old one when you switch?

If you want to keep your number - but migrate to a different carrier - then yes.

You ask your current provider for your Port Authorisation Code (PAC). The PAC basically gives the new carrier 'permission' to used your number with their network. Give the PAC to your new provider - who will set your existing number up on their network.

How do I know if I have unlimited texting?

You should look in your plan details, with most carriers this can be seen in your bill. If you can't find it give your carrier a call and ask them.

If you are on pre-paid then you can find out by looking on your carriers website or by giving them a call.

I recommend looking at your plan and contract before signing up with a carrier in future. You should always know what you pay and what you get.

Why would an ex keep texting and ringing you after a break-up and why not just move on with his life if he wanted to break up as well?

If both of you basically get along and love each other then it's wise to perhaps text him back and ask to meet him in a public place such as one of your coffee hang-outs. Sometimes people think they want one thing, and it's not what they want at all. He could be having second thoughts or he could have told you he wanted to break off too since you were the one that suggested it. After all, you hurt his feelings and didn't leave him with much dignity. It's tough to hear you aren't wanted. You could very well have had good reason for breaking up, and this is what you have to think of now ... is he worth it? If you seldom got along or he was cheating on you or had a controlling demeanor then it's best to keep moving and stop answering his text messages. You can block on a computer you know. Good luck Merry Christmas Marcy

What is CDMA 1x technology?

Short for Code-Division Multiple Access, a digital cellular technology that uses spread-spectrumtechniques.Unlike competing systems, such as GSM, that use TDMA, CDMA does not assign a specific frequency to each user. Instead, every channel uses the full available spectrum. Individual conversations are encoded with a pseudo-random digital sequence.CDMA consistently provides better capacity for voice and data communications than other commercial mobile technologies, allowing more subscribers to connect at any given time, and it is the common platform on which 3G technologies are built.
