A smartphone makes our life so much easier.
In Business used, for example, it not only makes us stay connected with
clients, co-workers, and even vendors wherever the job takes you, but the
variety of accessories designed for cell phones can make us more mobile while
using them. It is so convenient that you can make a conversation with your
business partners or clients with Bluetooth ear set anytime, anywhere, even you
are on driving or doing sports. Since there are so many accessories for mobile
phone, here are just 10 of the many we list below for business we frequently
used.
1. Charging docks/pods
Meetings across town, conferences, work
luncheons, and business trips can all put a strain on your cell phone's battery
life. The BlackBerry is one popular phone choice among business-minded
individuals, and they use them to schedule meetings, travel via GPS, text,
email, and make important business calls. A charging dock or pod can be kept at
the office or wherever you'll finally settle down for a break or after your
busy day around town. Charging stations are small and can be set on your desk
without taking up any of the space you may have for your papers and business
necessities.
Charging stations usually are economical,
so if you find yourself with a low battery problem most of the time, you can
set up multiple charging stations at different locations, at the office and at
home. Most importantly, you won't have to worry about always having a charger
with you.
2. Travel charger
Another important travel accessory to
assist in keeping your battery active is a travel charger. Compact and easy to
use, a travel charger allows you to use the phone even while it's charging, so
this is a great accessory to have in any briefcase or travel bag.
Some people prefer to use their car charger
in place of a travel charger, which is perfectly fine if you mostly use the car
to conduct business. However, a better alternative for frequent fliers is a
hand-crank charger. This doubles as an emergency charger, since you don't need
an outlet and can charge the phone even during a power outage or with no access
to an outlet or car.
3. Vibrating belt clip
A universal vibrating belt clip is a neat
accessory that comes in handy during business meetings or when working in a
shared space. These accessories work with any cell phone and easily attach to a
belt or purse. It works similarly to the phone's own vibrate mode in that the
vibration alerts you to an incoming call.
Unlike the phone's own vibrating mode,
however, which quickly runs down the phone's battery charge, a vibrating clip
doesn't put any extra strain on the batteries. This allows you to prolong the
phone's battery life while still being alerted to those incoming calls.
4. Bluetooth headset
Many customers using smartphones have been
taking advantage of Bluetooth headset for years, and this hands-free accessory
has quickly become a must-have for any cell phone user, whether you use a
smartphone or the most basic talk and text device.
The Bluetooth has become so popular, in
fact, that even new car models are coming equipped with Bluetooth compatibility
already integrated in the car's system. In some states, using a hands-free
device is required by law when talking on the cell phone in your car, so having
one will not only make you more mobile, but it will cut down on costly tickets,
ensure you are abiding the law, and make it safer to drive.
5. Antenna booster
Business can take you to the most
unexpected places, even areas that aren't covered with adequate cell phone
service. An antenna booster is one accessory that can enhance the signal of
your cell phone by as much as five times its original power. There's simply no
better accessory to have when working in low-signal areas.
There's also nothing worse than breaking up
during a business call, and this frequently happens when work takes you on the
road. This accessory cuts down on the number of times you have to ask the
person on the other end to speak up or repeat themselves, which makes you look
more professional.
6. Cobra Tag
It's no surprise that we live in a very
technological world. Smartphones have now become one of our most coveted
possessions. While smartphones make our lives easier, and it's not uncommon to
see people walking around with their phones always in their hands, there are
times when they are placed somewhere and forgotten about, causing semi-chaos in
the wake of finding them again. With Cobra Tag, you can find your phone easily,
and rest assured that you can pick up your business where you left off. Cobra
Tag is both a device and smartphone app that work in tandem to assist you in
locating your device by communicating and setting alarms when you've traveled
too far away from your smartphone.
In addition to the built-in alarm, you can
make your cell phone ring from the tag and vice-versa, and you can opt to get a
map link to the location of your lost phone for easy tracking.
7. MicroSD memory card
Many smartphones today have memory card
slots. With an increase in productivity when it comes to our phones, having
additional memory available is never a bad thing. Expand your phone storage by
2GB, 4GB, or more. You can find some of these memory cards for under $10.00
(USD), making this item a must-have because, well, why not?
8. Car mounted for GPS navigation
Many people use their smartphones as a GPS
system, because there numerous free apps available. We should be safe about it,
though. To keep from constantly looking down at your smartphone to navigate
(even those voice navigators can be confusing), a car mount is perfect. Station
your smartphone on your windshield or dashboard for easy reference and use.
This also allows you to keep two hands on the steering wheel and your eyes on
the road.
9. Battery extender pack
It is really upset that the batteries died
when you are on business, just like it is mentioned before. While an additional
battery maybe a very well item to have for those days when you just can't keep
a charge due to overuse, a battery extender pack gets the job done as well.
Extender packs are great when you're on the go, have lost your charger; have
another device hooked up to the only available charger, and a number of other
scenarios. An extended battery pack may make your phone more bulky and heavier,
but it can more than double your battery life.
10. Bluetooth speakerphones
If you spend a lot of time in your car, consider
investing in a Bluetooth speaker set with in-car media streaming. Some
speakerphones allow you to make phone hands-free calls while driving by simply
connecting via Bluetooth to your car's stereo. There are even in-car
speakerphones that include voice-activated call commands, including the ability
to have conference calls. Another option on some speakerphones is to enable
your GPS with the device. Take advantage of a higher-level functionality and
receive GPS instructions while listening to music and planning your next
business call.
It is impossible for us to get to know all
the accessories in the market and used all of them in our life, but these 10 essential
accessories are critical for business professionals who spend their time
conducting business over the phone or away from a central office. You will find
it useful for using these mobile
phone accessories if you are a business man.
