Retail outlets pass over the gifts from mobile network operators to customers for gains.

With the new mobiles entering the market we go for them by either selling the mobiles to the mobile recycling company or redirecting the money gained from mobile recycling to get a new one or directly go for any kind of alternative schemes available in the market.

But what about the retail outlets that deliver gifts after the purchase of a new mobile at the retail store?

These gifts delivered by the retailer to the purchaser follow different procedures. The usual way is the moment the client books the mobile on line, the retailer automatically delivers the gift to the clients address and might have a slight delay for peak seasons like festive.

Another alternative method is the client must sign the gift voucher after the reception of the mobile and send back the gift voucher to the retailer. With a slight delay you could receive your gift; this seems less complicated when compared with cash back schemes.

Some retailer shops dispatch the gift after the period mentioned in the terms and conditions just to avoid collection of the gifts on the canceled cells, which hit back the Mobile stores.

The waiting period for the gifts on your mobile could depend upon your validity of payment, or the approval on debit pay set-up.

But if you are lucky enough, then your gift will reach you in a shortest period on the same day or within 24 hours if the mobile phone you buy adopts a particular network service. The basic reason for such instant delivery is the retail outlets get a benefit from the network operators when the mobile users select their network.

Keep a close watch on the ongoing Mobile technological innovation:

I was satisfied with the pace at which the technological innovations have driven the Mobiles way beyond the anticipated levels. Year on year the benchmark set for research scientists and technologist is on rise but the most disappointing note left by the Environmentalists is that these technologies are digging graves in our backyard by depositing carbon footprints.It sounds damaging to a techno savvy but as you and I observe the level of carbon footprints these mobiles generate from its creation to the end of its use, is for sure a warning bell to all.

Environmentalist, technocrats, and non-governmental organisations stretched out together and worked on a cause for evaluating the areas of carbon emissions and ways to curb such emissions.
If you start reading the evolution in the making of Mobiles and its journey through life, then the key phases where they enable the carbon footprints are areas adjoining the extraction of the raw materials, near manufacturing of Mobile components, all along the network operations. Even to the end of the life cycle at recycling units, Mobiles emit toxic emissions. The process to extend the life of the Mobile can be made possible in the hands of expertise at the mobile phone recycling units.

Vodafone has undertaken the corporate responsibility to take a direct control over their networks to control the energy level emissions. This could directly control the climatic conditions in long run. When network equipment reaches to the end of its active operations, it is sent for recycling. The underlying reason is to produce a seal proof system against the carbon footprint emissions. Vodafone as a network runner has also taken initiative to work in close quarters with both the mobile manufacturing companies and mobile phone recycling companies. Such association with one another creates a platform for collective responsibility and exchange ideas. These actions develop to draw blueprints to achieve a phase of reversal in the accumulation of carbon footprint.

Some of the best performing companies globally have been picked and past 2006, the Green Peace has evaluated their performances in terms of carbon emission control in 2008 . In fact, the data is collected from the annual reports of these companies and some confidential reports have been handed over to the Green Peace for unbiased evaluations. The underlying principle is to see the companies curb the aggressive business techniques, which give a lease to carbon emissions. The major companies involved were Samsung, Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson, and LG. Each company exposed their select Model and parameters as per their acceptance. Green Peace went through the minute details for carbon emissions and gave to the manufacturers’ respective suggestions. PVC is used in the mobiles and when the Mobile is for recycling it emits huge toxins as PVC contains minute amounts of BFR, and the presence of Antimony. This is usually available in energy usage segments like adaptor. Green Peace also checked weather proper information regarding power saving is facilitated or not. Green peace took note of lifecycle of each independent component , upgradeable parts, battery analyzed based on unit cost and the warranty period of the product, the recycling price of the product in line to the specified WEEE, rate fixed for the plastics after the product is recycled . The degree of response obtained in the take back schemes.

MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES TO DEVELOPING NATIONS SAVE ENVIRONMENT GREEN.

Recently I bought a latest mobile at a store but when I opened the cardboard package could see an additional baggage envelope..Unable to resist my curiosity I went ahead and enquired about a pouch made available in a new mobile set.

The representative of store in a word said for recycling sir, gave me a brochure that gave in detail what is done to a spare mobile. As I read the brochure it shot several rhetorical questions that scared me. Most of them asked about what concern you have as a citizen to global warming , are we creating a safer green for generation next, it went to the extent to ask, are not our Mobile collections a hazardous waste supporting to unsustainable growth of ecological imbalances. Environmental concern is not just corporate social responsibility but falls on part of citizens too was all I could make from the brochure read.

I decided not to waste time any long and trade in my spare cells to a Mobile recycling company; my neighbor took name of fonebank an entrepreneur to have marked up an identity in U.K. I filled in the basic formalities on my mobile giving make and model number in return they guaranteed on return few pounds in a short time, a fair deal indeed.

But I was more intestrested about the path a mobile recycle could take so to know this better I enquired the recycling agency the work about goes on. They meticulously explained.

Any phone recycle that reaches the recycling unit first undergoes basic norms laid on by Waste electrical and electronic equipment an environmental agency. The recycling agencies check for its authenticity, is from a worthy seller or a stolen. Check the cell thoroughly at all fronts like functioning, refurbish damages etc and once suitable for usage send for resale else break the cell systematically and metals, plastics, extracted from cells, plastic casings and batteries.

What happens to the reusable gadgets, they are simply shipped and sent to developing countries like India, Asia and African countries for reuse. By doing so, in the west environmental pollution is minimised and at other parts of world technologies are met and poorer countries reap the benefit. To quote, like Kenya, where landlines are inadequate to serve the purpose, these wireless technologies supplement. A brilliant ways adopted to balance the ecosystems. I would rather sell my mobile phone for cash to a recycling company tan keeping it in my drawer.
