Among Mobile Marketing Techniques, Text Messaging Most Often Responded to

Some 70% of consumers who have responded to a mobile marketing offer say they’ve responded to a marketing text message - compared with 41% who’ve responded to a survey and 30% to email offers - according to the Direct Marketing Association (DMA).

Some 24% of mobile phone users surveyed online reported having responded to mobile marketing, DMA’s first-ever quantitative research related to mobile marketing found.

71% of people who respond to mobile offers have data plans.

21% of mobile marketing responders indicated that they respond to three or more offers per month.

Respondents who used AT&T (Cingular) Wireless and T-Mobile were more interested in mobile marketing incentives than respondents who used Verizon Wireless.

Teens 15-17 years old (19%) and young adults 21-30 years old (19%) are twice as likely to respond to offers on their mobile devices as those 18-20 years old (7%).

Strategies for Dealing With IT Complexity

clipper's remarks: Often times, IT looks for the solution to a cingular problem without considering how it fits into the whole picture. The result of doing this can be crippling as time goes on. Every one-off solution requires someone to administer it and probably requires some type of integration. Over time, you end up weaving yourself into a complex web of mini solutions that make it virtually impossible to respond to the business needs.

Strategies for Dealing With IT Complexity

Every innovation, every business process improvement, comes with an IT complexity tax that must be paid by CIOs in time, money and sweat. Here are strategies to mitigate the increasing complexity of IT as it enables new business.

November 26, 2007 — CIO — It’s called Moore’s Flaw, the flip side of the famous axiom that has driven the furious pace of IT innovation for several decades.

Moore’s Law (in one of its many formulations) states that computing capability increases 1 percent per week. Moore’s Flaw posits that keeping up with this flood tide of innovation quickly becomes too difficult (and too costly) for anyone to manage.

How to Save Money on Cell Phone Bills with Employee or Student Discounts?

Discount

Rate: (0 Ratings)

Every major cell phone carrier offers discount for corporations or groups. Many students can also get discounts using their school e-mails in these programs. While most people know about their company discount, some may not know. Wireless carriers do not advertise these employee or student discounts! This article will show you how you can get up to 25% discount on your cell phone bills. So, get your work or school emails. And visit the links, I have mentioned in this article. And find out what discounts are available for you. You may be pleasantly surprised. I was able to get 14% off with my Cingular (now AT&T) phone service.

Williams has worked in wireless for several years. Prior to his role at Telefonica he was the VP for strategic planning at Cingular Wireless, a position he rose to in the wake of the SBC Wireless-BellSouth Cellular merger. Before the merger he was in charge of technological operations for the Western region of SBC Wireless and helped integrate the company into the Pacific Bell Mobile network, which he had also helped create.

Hot on the heels of a report that Comcast will no longer offer Sprint’s wireless service through Pivot, GigaOM has learned that the cable company is creating its own wireless division and has hired the former CTO of Telefonica O2 Europe, Dave Williams, as the unit’s CTO SVP of wireless and technology strategy to “explore wireless options” for Comcast, according to the company. Williams apparently took on the role earlier this month, although no announcement has been made to that effect and Comcast has not responded to a request for comment.

Cell Phone Wiretapping made easy

Silently tapping into a private cell phone conversation is no longer a high-tech trick reserved for spies and the FBI. Thanks to the work of two young cyber-security researchers, cellular snooping may be soon be affordable enough for your next-door neighbor.

In a presentation Wednesday at the Black Hat security conference in Washington, D.C., David Hulton and Steve Muller demonstrated a new technique for cracking the encryption used to prevent eavesdropping on GSM cellular signals, the type of radio frequency coding used by major cellular service providers including AT&T (nyse: T - news - people ), Cingular and T-Mobile. Combined with a radio receiver, the pair say their technique allows an eavesdropper to record a conversation on these networks from miles away and decode it in about half an hour with just $1,000 in computer storage and processing equipment.

The Meaning of Cell Phone Signal Bars [depressing, enlightening]

Wed, 23 Jan 2008 03:51:12 GMT

I seem to have great cell phone reception (Cingular) everywhere but my home. Yet often while I'm getting terrible reception and dropped calls, the phone tells me it has three bars of reception. What's THAT all about? Is my provider telling my phone to intentionally inflate the reporting of my reception or is something about my home causing my problem even though I nominally have good reception?

They don't mean much of anything, it turns out.

I don't know what they're displaying for GSM, but probably what they're displaying is the signal strength. For CDMA (which is what I know about) that's what they display, but in CDMA the signal strength is highly deceptive because it doesn't inform you of what the noise floor is.

Even worse... there is no industry standard for what "one bar" or "two bars" means. None. Everyone just sort of sets some thresholds, and even from the same manufacturer it can change from phone model to phone model.

Apple Makes $831 For Every iPhone Sold, Profits $580!

We already knew that the iPhone was making Apple money by the barrelload, but we didn't know exactly how much. Well, uh, you'd better sit down. According to the Financial Accounting Standards Board, Apple receives a whopping $18 per month from AT&T for each iPhone customer. That adds up to $432 for each two-year contract, or, including the price of the phone, $831 per iPhone.

Yes, Apple is making more than twice the retail price of the iPhone for every one sold. With cost analysis's putting the price of iPhone components at around $250, that means that Apple is pulling in around $580 in profit on each iPhone. Yeah, I know, they need to pay their designers and their advertisers and their rent and all the business overhead that comes with running a gigantic electronics company, but the fact of the matter is that Apple is pulling in over the full price of their iPhone in profit with each one sold. Now we know why they went with that five-year exclusive deal with AT&T, eh?
