Arm yourself

Telecommunications is one of the fastest moving, exciting and sometimes frustrating industries. Devices, services and 'standards' are being introduced and evolving at a breathtaking rate, sometimes making purchasing decisions difficult because you feel rushed, pressured or unsure. Therefore, FONEBOX.COM is here to provide accurate information, tips and commentary to assist you and encourage the industry to behave itself.

By its nature, wherever you live in the world, anything to do with wireless is a nightmare. We all have stories of dubious signal coverage maps, in your face in-store sales people, reception problems, complex customer support processes (you mean you haven't been on the phone to your carrier for 40 minutes only to be cut off during the hold musak?), address books that don't sync properly, and of course, the worst issue of all, the hard cold fact that no matter which calling plan you choose, each is carefully crafted to ensure you will always go over your minutes and end up with a bill that is more than you expected.

To make things worse, obtaining concise information related to your mobile device or service is frustating, with forums overloaded with flame wars, 'trolls' and dubious use of the written word! Therefore, FONEBOX.COM endeavours to provide accurate unbiased advice, tips and commentary to assist you and at the same time encourage the industry to behave itself.

Take heart telecommunications industry, if you are good to your customers, they will remain loyal, so don't drop the ball!

Who is FONEBOX.COM for?

How is FONEBOX.COM different?

1. Daily blogs and forums are not featured - those are available elsewhere. FONEBOX.COM takes a different approach by consolidating knowledge and real world user experience into a single point of reference. Content will only be moved, deleted or archived when no longer relevant.
2. Until it is real, it won't be mentioned here. FONEBOX.COM does not feature unavailable, unannounced or rumoured products.
3. No coverage of KIRF or other devices that clearly infringe patent and/or trademarks of legitimate hardware.

What about in depth reviews and device specs?

2. All products and services are listed in alphabetical order, unless otherwise specified.
