Smartphones are essential for keeping in touch and on top of things in the business world today, but with the wide array of devices on the market it can become a tedious task to find the one that is right for you. The battle of the Android vs Apple's iOS has now been infiltrated by the new and improved Blackberry 10 which has made the once simple task of going to a mobile carrier store to purchase a device a mind-boggling, life-altering decision. Smartphones are the preferred choice for the person on the go for keeping in contact with business associates, keeping daily agendas organised, sending and receiving emails and also the viewing and editing of documents while out of office. When choosing a new device, here are a few tips to keep in mind.

STEP 1: EXPLORING THE PROS AND CONS OF THE VARIOUS OPERATING SYSTEMS

Do your research! Read up on the various devices and their capabilities. There are a series of customer reviews available online that can assist you in your decision-making. Be sure to compare the various software features on your operating system whether Blackberry 10, Android or iOS and see which one best suits your needs.

STEP 2: GETTING THE BEST DEAL AVAILABLE

These new high-tech devices do attract a pretty penny, but many telecommunications companies have gone the extra mile to make purchases less backbreaking. Instead of expending large amounts all at once, there are monthly payment options available. For plans and specials, interested customers can visit the LIME Jamaica website or visit the nearest store for consultation with a sales representative who will be willing to give their expert advice.

STEP 3: CHOOSING THE BEST MOBILE CARRIER

To enjoy the full potential of your device of choice, you must have a carrier with reliable service and the best data packages. LIME Jamaica has gained much favour from the 'techies' of the corporate sector as the carrier of choice due to its high-speed data capabilities and affordable calling rates. The Iphone and Android devices are also well supported by LIME's superior network.
