The team at billmonitor have analysed 28,000 mobile phone bills to find out how much data we’re really using and how consumers can cut their phone bills.
billmonitor calls itself the UK’s first “mobile bill analysis engine”. Unlike traditional price comparison services (which I’ve blogged about before), billmonitor takes the more scientific approach of analysing your online phone bills to work out how you use your phone rather than simply asking you to provide figures. That approach means they’ve got real numerical data on your phone usage: the calls you make, the type of calls (landline, mobile or international) and how much data you use. Using these bills, the service then makes a recommendation on the best value phone tariff as well as any add-ons you might need.
The guys at billmonitor have recently carried out some fascinating research on how people use their phones and how much people are paying for their mobile phone service. In this article, I sat down with Nick Wright from billmonitor to discuss:
What is the Ken’s Tech Tips index?
In this study, Ken’s Tech Tips polled more than 6,000 people over a 2 month period to find out how they’re switching mobile network. We’ve visualised this data to look at the net movement of customers from network to network. Our graphs show which networks are losing customers, which networks are gaining customers and where the customers are coming from.
We love the HTC Desire HD for much the same reasons that we loved the HTC Desire. Both phones are well designed, are comfortable to hold and have a good build quality.
It might be a bit of an understatement to say that the technology enthusiasts across the world have been eagerly awaiting the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Tab and the chance to pit it against Apple’s iPad. Being the first Google-approved Android tablet on the market and the first mass-market 7-inch tablet device, the Tab gives us a taste of what might lies ahead in the tablet market and whether Android can take on the mighty Apple.
