People are asking about the mobile version of ArrivedOK: why only registered subscribers can use it? The general explanation about m.arrivedok.mobi is given on the wap-site (see the quote below). We think it is not convenient to sign-up with ArrivedOK using mobile phone, because, as a part of registration process, you have to receive your phone number verification SMS and then fill-in the received number back into reg.form. Hell knows how the browser on your phone behaves like – may be it would just quit when sms is coming; then you’d have to launch it again and log-on to m.arrivedok.mobi once more trying to keep the memorized number in mind; the whole thing can be just too irritating. On the other hand, once you’re registered and authorized your mobile number online (the latter is important! You won’t enjoy the mobile version if you don’t have an authorized phone number in your account), using ArrivedOK mobile version is fairly easy.
WHAT YOU CAN DO. The current mobile version of the ArrivedOK is rather a supplementary to the desktop website rather than a fully functional wap application. It is for registered users only; you can use it to manage (edit, activate, cancel, add) your ArrivedOK records on the go. You will need your registered email and password to log on to the service.
WHAT YOU CANNOT DO with this mobile version. You currently cannot create new ArrivedOK account; edit your user profile; change your email or password; change or authorize your mobile phone number to use with the service. To do that please go to ArrivedOK main website www.arrivedok.mobi using your computer.
I’m frankly don’t know why people need to register via mobile site when there’s desktop version. Like, one’s in an airport with only her cellphone, suddenly recalls there’s a service like that, why not giving it a try with a handset? I’m not sure. Share what you think about it.
A funny post at LSE Media@LSE group blog about why gaming consoles are bad. Ridiculous is the reasoning of the regulatory organization mentioned in the article: the XBox 360 and Playstation are having similar energy footprints to fridges. Time to raise the alarm!:)
Well, I’m curious if anybody have calculated the energy footprint of ‘Honey I’m home’ phone calls? Or ‘I’ve just landed’ phone calls. Altogether with the footprint of those cellular base stations in the airports when 417 or 555 passengers (Boeing 747 and Airbus 380 capacity respectively) start calling all together at once after landing. Don’t forget all switches and other network equipment through which the voice call is delivered to the recipient who may be on the another side of the globe… A little bit more than a fridge, I guess!
In that respect one can consider ArrivedOk as a greenest mobile travel application ever! It lets environmentally conscious passengers avoid those calls, still having their recipients notified about their arrival by just turning their cell phones on.
