Amazing mobile phone plans

Posted: 29 Apr 2012 11:52 PM PDT

OK, this one will only apply to people who live in Australia.

I don’t often advertise goods and services for other companies, but after 7 years with the same ISP, 2 years with the same ISP for my mobile phones, and having helped many people with changing their current plan to a much cheaper one, all without asking for anything in return, I decided to become a TPG reseller.

I’m hoping to generate a small amount of revenue from being a reseller, but my main aim is to let you know that I’m so happy with my own personal experience with TPG over such a long period, that you can genuinely save a lot of money by switching to TPG.

Honestly: when I first found out that TPG had mobile phone plans, I was skeptical (I was with Virgin at the time).

At the time, there were 2 companies that I did not trust: Dodo and Soul (due to very bad customer service)

And TPG purchased Soul… So I decided to stay away from TPGs mobile phone offerings for about 2 years.

I eventually noticed that they had a $15 per month plan, that seemed similar to my Virgin $29 per month plan (both use the Optus Mobile Network)

When I looked more closely, I found it was actually MUCH better.

$550 of calls per month, 1.5GB of data per month (so I could actually use my android phone as a modem if I really wanted to).

So I tentatively tried 1 of my phones, and didn’t have a single problem.

There were no unexpected “gotchas”, and no need to worry about going over my call or data limits.

I then decided to get a phone for my 9 year old son, and try out the TPG $1 per month plan.

I figured that there had to be some sort of catch with this one… most likely the calls and SMS TXT messages would be much more expensive (per minute), compared to other plans.

Instead it was just the opposite: 9.9¢ TXT messages, and phone calls were 10¢ flagfall and 9.9¢ per minute. How good is that!

I now have 3 phones with TPG, and I’m paying a total of $31 per month (actually a tiny bit more, as the $1 plan sometimes involves paying an extra $1 or 2, and calls are made).

Now, if you want to check out the details, go to:

Please note:

What you pay will be the same, regardless of whether you go to TPG directly, or if you signup via my reseller links, except:

  • with TPG direct, TPG gets to keep all your money
  • with me, you will be helping out a struggling computer repairer (me)

If you are also looking for a good, and inexpensive android smartphone, I also sell those.

mobile phone with built in projector

Posted: 22 Apr 2012 11:32 PM PDT

While looking at various smart phones from chinese suppliers, I stumbled across an interesting mobile phone:

A phone with a built in wall projector.

My immediate reaction was: its probably impractical

If its like a traditional projector, it would get really hot, and the battery will probably run flat within a few minutes.

However, after some research, I found that Samsung have developed (and some chinese has copied) an LED based phone projector.

I wasn’t surprised about the size of the phone (it was bound to be thicker than most phones), but I was amazed that battery life while using the projector is (apparently) 3 hours!!!

And since the projector actually uses LEDs instead of Halogen globes, then you never need to replace the projector globe.

Having viewed a few videos of this device, I have noticed a minor shortfall: the brightness of the projected image seems lower than what you would expect from a “normal” projector.

After over 25 years in technology, there is not much new technology that surprises me anymore… It all become game of slight improvements, playing copycat, and the occasional new idea, so its not often that I see a product, where I can see a huge leap in technology (and the future possibilities) such that I think: “wow!”. But I think this is a great innovation.

Many people cannot type their paypal email address

Posted: 18 Apr 2012 11:43 PM PDT

I’m supplying an abandoned accounting package called erecord, for a small fee of $14 (payable via paypal).

Over the last 2 years, I have had many hundreds of people download erecord.

And I am totally amazed at how many people just cannot do a simple task like type in their email addresses ( about 25% get it wrong ! ! ! )

What usually happens is: I get an email that someone like joe123@gmail.com has just purchased erecord.

Since the software is fully automated, I know that this person will get an email that gives them instructions on how to download erecord.

Then, after a few days/weeks, I sometimes get a brief email from the customer, saying something like:

I purchased erecord on date xyz

I have yet to receive the download instructions. Send me the download instructions ASAP

First off, I check that they actually paid: and often I find that the automated confirmation email I got was from, say, joe123@gmail.com, yet the “wheres my download” email might be from joe124@gmail.com

This is a simple (yet amazingly common) typing error. To correct it, I ask the customer to confirm their payment details, and then send the download email to the new email address (and updating my website database with the new address)

Other times, its worse: the email arrives from joe.blue@yahoo.com, and the customer has lost all access to the old email in their paypal account.

That means that they have some serious problems with their paypal account, that needs fixing before it becomes a security risk.

However, I can still send the download email to the “new” email.

I’m still surprised at how often people make typing errors while doing financial transactions over the internet.

I’d hate to think what would happen if people had to enter the payment amount manually… id get payments varying from $0.14 upt to $1400 !!!
