Mobile billing allows you to charge small expenses to your cell phone bill. It’s increasingly popular especially with the college-aged crowd. Here’s why:
Buy now, pay later. Mobile billing allows you to make purchases now and not pay for them until your cell phone bill comes. This is terrific for college students who may not have access to a credit card yet. It allows them to aggregate small purchases and pay for them just once a month.
It’s a very convenient way to pay for online purchases.College students love to make small purchases online from both their computers and their mobile phones. They like to buy games, ringtones and other small items. It’s a lot more convenient to just pay with your phone than to be charged via another method when making these small purchases.
Mobile billing may provide a cheaper option for payment. College students may have bank accounts that charge them debit fees. The fees for mobile billing, when there are any, tend to be low. College students are always looking to save a buck!
A mobile phone is always handy. College students have grown up in an era when they wouldn’t even think about leaving home without their cell phone. They’re more likely to forget their keys than their phones. They are certainly more likely to forget their cash and credit cards. Having the option of paying with their cell phones is really convenient.
It’s the way of the future. College students are on the cutting edge of future trends. Mobile billing is one of those trends.
My dad used to play golf a lot when he was in college, and I’m actually surprised he didn’t pursue a career in golf. Here’s one of his friends from college, Dr. Eric Wilson, talking about his college of golf in Florida. Who knows, if my dad had continued playing, maybe he’d be like Dr. Wilson now.
There is nothing quite like being in a crunch, and sometimes that means working late hours. While other people are sitting at home sipping egg nog, I have been working at the office with our team, trying to finalize the trade show displays for January. We have just a few more days before they need to be sent off to the printer or we will have to cancel our marketing for January, and the boss wouldn’t like that.
Unfortunately, we have had some difficulty coming to some sort of consensus as to how we want to portray ourselves. There are some of the group that just wants to keep things how they have always been and use the same banner stands that we have been using for the past decade. Don’t get me wrong, they were well done in their time, but you can tell they were made in the nineties – which doesn’t go well with portraying a progressive company.
There are others in the group that want to do something a little more exotic and expensive. Most of their ideas hinge around having videos shown on big screen televisions, and make the video the focal point of our display. I’m not too keen on the idea, but it might be something that we consider in the future.
We are mostly done, but we need to review the final designs before signing off on the project. I just hope that we will be done by 3 AM – I have an early meeting at 7 AM and I would like some sleep before then.
With all the hustle and bustle around the house over the last week, I finally have the chance to take a break. I often wonder why we “do” Christmas the way we do it, since it is so very stressful, but at least it is over now for another year. Yes, it is time for me to rest and relax for a change.
Even though I was going to curl up to watch a movie, I can’t help but see the stack of newspapers that I haven’t read staring back at me. I wish I could let it go, but I paid for them, so I need to read them.
Looking through the first few, there was little that caught my eye. Let’s face it, old news isn’t very exciting. Some of the stories that I read in the paper I saw on Twitter already, so it was old and uninteresting. I was a little sad too that I missed a sale on the airsoft gun that I have wanted for the last year, but I am sure that it will go on sale again, right?
Well, maybe I’ll skim the rest of the pile and hopefully find something worth reading. Or, maybe I should go shovel the driveway. Hmmm….. maybe I’ll go have a nap instead – that sounds like fun.
