Sat, 3 May 2008 In a hope to begin generating revenue to support my goals with The Cell Phone Junkie, I'm working with my show provider (Libsyn) to attract sponsors. One of the steps in determining the best advertisers for the site is to get demographic information from you, the listeners of the show. A quick (less than 2 minutes) survey has been created, and I need a few hundred listeners to take it. You can access it by going directly to TCPJ website and click on the "Support this Podcast" on the right side of the screen under the Grand Central call button. Or, you can click on THIS LINK and it will take you to the survey. Thanks for your time and support. Mickey Category: general -- posted at: 5:25 PM Comments[1] |

Tue, 22 April 2008 NEWS RELEASE “THE CELL PHONE JUNKIE” RELEASES 100TH PODCAST Expert Guests Join Host Mickey Papillon during Special Episode of Popular Independent Program Devoted to the Cell Phone Industry PHOENIX – April 22, 2008 – The Cell Phone Junkie, one of the nation’s leading independent podcasts devoted to the cell phone industry, will release its 100th
program on April 27, 2008, according to founder and host Mickey
Papillon. The free program will include special guests who are
considered experts in the field of cell phones and mobile phone
technology, and will be available on the website (www.thecellphonejunkie.com) as of Sunday, April 27. “We’re extremely excited to be doing our 100th
program,” said Papillon, a longtime cell phone user and an authority on
mobile phone technology. “Since our inception in 2006, The Cell Phone
Junkie programs have been downloaded by more than 100,000 listeners, so
we believe we’re providing a valuable service to many people.
Worldwide, there are approximately 3 billion cell phone users and, in
some countries, cell phone penetration is actually more than 100 percent.” Joining
Papillon on the April 27 program will be co-host Joey Koppes of
Minneapolis, Minnesota. Also appearing on the show are David Ciccone,
Founder, www.mobilitytoday.com, of Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, Dieter Bohn, VP of Communities, www.smartphoneexperts.com, of Inverness, Florida, and Rob Walsh, Founder, www.podcast411.com and www.todayiniphone.com, of Overland Park, Kansas. All are considered experts in the cell phone industry. Recent
podcasts have dealt with such diverse subjects as the popular Apple
iPhone, the $20 billion government auction of radio spectrum to
industry service providers and the benefits of cell phones over
traditional landline phones. A March podcast even discussed the British
government’s decision to test the installation of soft padding on
streetlamps in London because so many citizens have been walking into
them inadvertently while talking on their cell phones. “Obviously
there is a humorous side to the cell phone industry,” Papillon said.
“It’s not just about new products and software updates. The cell phone
industry is changing rapidly and we receive dozens of questions about
the technology, the industry and the issues.” About The Cell Phone Junkie: The
Cell Phone Junkie website and podcast were formed in 2006 by Michael
(“Mickey”) Papillon, a resident of Cave Creek, Arizona and longtime
cell phone user and aficionado. It is one of the nation’s most popular
independent podcasts for detailed information about the industry. The
weekly podcast, which has been downloaded by more than 100,000
listeners worldwide, can be accessed via www.thecellphonejunkie.com or by calling 510-495-6352. Category: general -- posted at: 12:18 AM Comments[0] |

Sun, 13 April 2008 I got word this weekend of some changes in the wind for Verizon Wireless this coming week. Apparently the activation fee is now only refunded if you return your phone
within 3 days if you up and cancel your service during the trial period. However, you still have 30 days to port out to another carrier like before. Also if you exchange you
phone during the first 30 days there is a $20 exchange fee. Looks like they are trying to keep people from trying out all sorts of phones when signing up for service. Apparently, this fee may also be applied when people do upgrades when they purchase new hardware. There is some good news though, new plans are coming for hearing impaired folks. Look for some sort of unlimited text and data plan with no voice minutes. All are expected to drop on Tuesday 4/15. Category: general -- posted at: 6:17 PM Comments[1] |
