Cellular phone business?
101675
From my understanding the commission for selling a new cell phone contract is between 3 and 6 months of the contract value depending on the provider.(3-6 months of the monthly service) There isn't any residual income from the service plans.\nPlus there's the money made from selling accessories.\n\nI don't know if that helps or not, but that's pretty much my understanding of it.

I had a store in Dallas, TX as a carrier for T-Mobile, Cingular, Verizon, and Sprint.  I can assist you on a consulting engagement if you wish.\n\nI also have sources for you to purchase your accessories dirt cheap.  ie car chargers for only $.50 which you can resell for $15-20.

There are many, one would be low-cost provider. As with all such "advantages" as your competitors play "catch-up" they become commodities or entry-level requirements. \n\nTechnology leads are a good one, look at how all the mobile phoe operators are trying to get into premium services and move from box shifting (the actual phone)

Generally speaking, this is often possible.\n\nFirst, you must know the name of the company that provides your friend's cell phone service.  You will have to ask them whom they pay and/or take a look at the phone.\n\nExample:  Service by FONERIVER\n\nThey will usually have a site called foneriver.net, the better to get customers, answer questions like yours if my answer does not work and the like.\n\nIf their phones offer text messaging, usually you can compose a message with any email server/service that connects to the internet, including Yahoo Mail, possibly your company computer, if you work, and similar.\n\nI have done this myself.  You also need to know your friend's phone number.  When you have composed your message you send it to \n\n2127894368@foneriver.net\n\nYou will have to substitute whatever numbers are appropriate.\n\nThey will receive the message just like they do when someone else does instant messaging to them from another phone like theirs provided by the same company.\n\nHowever, your friend may or may not be able to reply to you with an email unless something like that is offered (and maybe paid for) as part of their foneriver service.\n\nNew equipment is coming out all the time.  Although I myself have not seen a phone that does email, I am virtually certain that some exist.\n\nCell phone companies are very greedy and up the price for each and evry option.\n\nIM, instant messaging, text messaging tends to save lots of money.  The transmission times are brief, messages get stored in the cell phone memory, and you do not incur time charges by looking at them.\n\nSo lots of teenagers use text messaging.  It sometimes comes in handy during emergencies, for people who cannot talk, or who want to keep very quiet (in a class, or during a presentation by others), or when there is so much noise around that a normal phone conversation is impossible (a steel mill, or a car parts factory).\n\nHope this helps.  I am old, so I do not have the latest stuff.

I would choose a service with a good record of repairs, and inexpensive bills.  ( I am assuming you are referring to land lines and not cellular.)

I can see a day when broadband companies simply decide to cut off the access to the Vonage-type providers by port blocking or other means---And court battles about it.  Even if that doesn't happen, I think it would take a long long time for anything to impact the old Ma-Bell phone companies signifigantly.  Cell phones?  I've never seen an internet phone product that would compete with wireless phones.

In your area Alcatel would be a great choice. They are the top telecomunications firm in France. They also do a fair bit of business worldwide.

Many cell-phone companies have family talk plans...First two lines $70, add a line only $9.99.  I have Cingular, I know Verizon has something simmilar.

Do you mean services?\n\nPhone lines are easy - contact BT or alternatinve suppliers in your area like cable.\n\nIf you need water, gas, sewage or electricity that is a more involved process on which I am happy to advise if you wish.

I have one job that does not allow employee cell phones on the premise.  However, it isn't enforced regularily. I had some managers that let me use my phone in front of them or would use their own in front of the employees while I had another one threaten to fire me. \n\nEmployees were allowed to make phone calls from a pay phone whenever they wanted. I mostly keep my phone with me in case of emergencies, and because everyone I know has a different area code, therefore long distance, from the one in which I work.\n\nMy other job has a policy of personal discretion. It's not smart to use your phone in front of customers or to have the ringer bothering people around you, but if you have to make a quick phone call, it's not a problem.
