How wonderful speed is! We all have always aspired to be quicker at things we can accomplish using our smart phones. But many a times we have been unable to achieve it because of slow internet speeds on our mobile phones. I remember the time when I could not book a train ticket using my phone. I needed a laptop and a broadband to be able to do the most dreaded thing online ever i.e. booking a tatkal train ticket on IRCTC website.
But then came 3G and changed the way we percieved online operations on mobile phones. Today every other day we see apps getting launched for banking, online food ordering, social networking etc. There are apps now even for political parties and their policies.
The whole world is a better place now for many reasons and one of them is that we have better speed of mobile internet.
Now here is the good news. We all have loved 3G speed on our phones and anticipated greater speed and convenience in next generation 4G networks.
We all have been waiting for cheaper 4G enabled phones and networks that could support 4G speeds.
Our mutual friend Airtel has already setup a vast network for 4G operations. They have come out with great plans for us to use and they have made it extremely easy for us as well to get a 4G sim. Here are the details for you:-
1. Airtel offers a unique 4G SIM delivery service, wherein any Airtel user with a 4G handset can tweet using #GetAirtel4G to get a 4G SIM delivered to their home for free.
2. Once a user tweets #GetAirtel4G he gets a reply from @AirtelIndia handle directing the user to a link where a user need to enter his details for SIM delivery.

So if you have a phone which is 4G network ready what are you waiting for.
Open your twitter app now and tweet for it.
Your smart phone is an integral part of your life today. You
can’t survive a day without it unless you really want to prove a point. Every
day a new phone is out in market which claims better performance and mind
blowing features. Just to be fair to them, some of them do have great
specifications and great features.
But problem is that most of us, if not all, bought our smart
phones, as it seems, a little early in the timeline of smart phone evolution
i.e. approximately a year back or a little more. All this development in smart
phone industry has made our phones like Amitabh Bachchan from the movie “Pa”.
They are not all that old but they appear and function like one.
When I bought my phone 1 GB RAM was fantastic and dual core
processors were thing of the time. Apps were light and the default browser was
able to get anything rendered on our screen even on 2G. OK, that is an exaggeration.
However, if you remember that time (around 2013) we were happy with simpler
things.
Now APPs are heavy and they are countless to say the least.
Last week I had to get rid of my facebook and messenger both apps. They were
beating the living out of my phone. My browser was hanging,
my phone was dying more often than not and problems were countless. Many times
I felt like throwing away my phone and getting a new one but then I remembered
all the EMIs I had paid for this one, so decided to keep it for another year
and get rid of all, I mean all, heavy apps.
Now, that is something which is not good. What’s the point
of a smart phone which is a thing of past and does not have half of the things
that save you money, time and hassle. Most importantly get you information fast
and are reliable.
Then a day came, I had to disable my full fledged browser
and go back to the default one. It has been doing the job but I am used to
better things in life. As they say necessity is mother of inventions. It made
me search for better options, if not really invent them.
US browser (http://www.ucweb.com/)
may just be the answer to all our problems. It is fast, it is light, it
saves data in browsing and it is available on your Google Play Store for free. Yuvraj Singh,
our beloved cricketer is promoting this browser. You can watch him talking
about the features of this browser in the following video.
At the time of any cricket series, we all want to keep
ourselves updated on scores and commentaries. So many times our slow networks
do not allow us the seamless connectivity that we desire. UBC Browser comes
with a built-in UC Cricket feature which is one stop shop for all your cricket
related information needs. You can get all that in just one click.
So here is what I recommend, keep your old browser for now,
download UC browser and try it out.
