Ofcom pushing for lower mobile phone calls between networks

It has just been announced that Ofcom intend to force mobile phone networks to cut their call charges from one network to another. At present it cost 4.3p per minute to call another network. This will be reduced to 0.5p by 2015.

The regulatory body has also issued a new ruling that will make it easier to change your mobile provider. By 2011 it should be possible to change your network within one working day, rather than the existing two.

Currently the UK is the only country in Europe where you have to ask your mobile phone network if you can leave and take your number with you. In other countries this practice, known as porting, is near instant and does not require permission.

Samsung has announced that it will unveil four new phones at CTIA 2010 in Las Vegas, USA.

The Samsung Strive, SGH a687, is a mobile phone with a slide out QWERTY keyboard. The phone supports new generation messaging (NGM) and is aimed at the younger generation. This probably means it is has loads of social networking apps and a solid music player.

The Samsung Sunburst comes is a sleek touch-screen device but no other information has yet been given on this device.

As the CTIA is one of the industry’s largest wireless events it is likely that some of the other large players will also be announcing some new mobile phone products

New Facebook site – Facebook Zero

Facebook has launched a new website for mobile phones called Facebook Zero – zero.facebook.com. Although the name sounds more like a brand of Coke, this low bandwidth website will be used for mobile users of Facebook.

The site was created out of necessity as 100 million people now access Facebook via their mobile phone. This demand is reflected by most new phones providing Facebook applications. In December 2009 people in the UK spent 2.2bn minutes browsing the Facebook site.

Facebook already has another social network site called “Facebook Lite” which is a cut down version of the original, aimed at providing access for people with slow internet connections.
