How Successful Is 3G REALLY In The UK?
Are you looking for websites which offer free reverse cell phone lookups? Unfortunately I have personally searched for sites offering this service and any I have found have simply directed me to websites which require a fee for access. The reason these services are not free is because the sites which offer access to the databases are providing access to records which the cell companies do not offer for free in the same way residential numbers are. Under these circumstance the reverse lookup sites charge us for access. However, the good news is that the professional websites who offer reverse cell lookups provide an excellent service. In addition to information about the owner of the cell phone, they can often provide carrier details, connection status, and address history. Note however that they cannot guarantee every cell number can be found, but they all operate through Clickbank which offer full refunds!
Below are a number of the most popular paid cell lookup services: How successful is 3G REALLY in the UK? I'm getting mixed messages about 3G take-up in the UK. On one hand, 3 announce that they have added 3m subscribers (http://www.guardian.co.uk/mobile/article/0,2763,1449689,00.html), and then on the other that Vodafone is thought to have attracted fewer than 200,000 customers in the UK to date (http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/story/0,,1438432,00.html), and Virgin Mobile have announced that they are pulling back from a a major launch of 3G due to a sensing a lack of interest (http://www.guardian.co.uk/mobile/article/0,2763,1441419,00.html)among subscribers for the new technology. The mobile operators have spent a small fortune, enough to wipe out the debt of a third world country on launching 3G, and an even bigger fortune on acquiring licences. I was personally part of the Vodafone Live! launch in 2002, so I know that Vodafone have spent more on launching 3G given the extra coverage it has had. So, despite spending millions launching their services why aren't consumers switching to 3G? Do the operators need to offer cheaper voice minutes to get people to take 3G handsets in the hope that consumers will start to use data services? Maybe the operators have made a fundamental mistake - there's no point persuading users to upgrade to 3G to make videocalls, only for them to realise they have no one to call! If none of your mates have got a video-calling handset then it's useless. Until 3G penetration reaches some sort of critical mass then I think users won't get excited about video calling.
