Open Enrollment for AT&T Mobile Protection is here!

Did you know that one in four people will lose, damage or have their devices stolen this year? Tablets, notebooks, and smartphones are big investments for anyone. That’s why protection is more important than ever.

Don’t have Insurance?  No problem, AT&T Mobile Protection Pack Open Enrollment is here.   Normally mobile insurance is only able to be added within the first 30 days of device activation or upgrade.  AT&T is now allowing the ability to add mobile protection for your device until May 31st.  In addition to mobile phones, you can add mobile protection to tablets!

AT&T’s Mobile Protection Pack (MPP) offers you three key areas of protection: mobile insurance, mobile locate and enhanced support.

AT&T Mobile Insurance:
What does mobile insurance do for me?  If your device is lost or stolen it will be replaced.  If it’s accidentally damaged, it will be replaced.  Even if your device gets liquid damage or has an out of warranty malfunction it will be replaced. Once the claim is approved and the deductible met, the device is shipped overnight in most cases! (more…)

Introducing the all new Samsung Galaxy S4

30. Apr, 2013 Categories: AT&T, Hot Phones, Smartphone, Staff Picks by Communications Electronics Team 0 Comments

By Cody Chanteau

The wait is over! Samsung has finally released the Galaxy S4, their latest and greatest addition in the Galaxy line of phones, and it doesn’t disappoint! Featuring a blazing fast quad-core processor, colorful 5-inch HD screen, sharp-shooting 13 megapixel camera and a mile-high stack of software extras, it’s one of the most powerful smartphones in the world!

So what exactly does the S4 have that the S3 doesn’t? The better question is what doesn’t it have? Sporting a 1080p HD screen, lightning fast processor ideal for streaming services and games and an IR blaster that can control your TV, the S4 is no slouch. With the ability to scroll through pages or answer a phone call with just the gesture of your hand, or using your eyeballs to pause a video, the S4 is a clear upgrade to its predecessor. (more…)

Celebrating 37 Years in Business

On April 1st, 2013, Communications Electronics celebrates 37 years of wireless service!
As my wife Ruth has remarked many, many times: “Only a fool would start a business on April Fool’s Day!”  It might not have been a smart thing to do, but it has really worked out.

Our success has had more to do with the people that I was fortunate enough to surround myself with while building the business, (my wife Ruth was one of them), than anything that I personally was able to do.  Some say we are a “family business”, but we have many employees that are not related that actually feel like family.  Our strength is in our employees and I sincerely believe that our customer loyalty reflects that.

Finally, I would like to remark on our relationship with our vendors, particularly Motorola, AT&T, Tessco and Sinclair Broadcasting.  There are other organizations that certainly contributed to our success, but these companies have supported us over the years and have been instrumental in our growth.  Now with 17 locations and over 130 employees, we are still providing the latest communications solutions to our customers in the Maryland, DC and PA area. Thanks to our employees, our customers and our vendors for all of your support!

Meet the all new BlackBerry Z10!

03. Apr, 2013 Categories: AT&T, Blackberry, Hot Phones, Smartphone, Staff Picks by Communications Electronics Team 0 Comments

By Cody Chanteau

The moment we’ve all been waiting for, the release of the BlackBerry Z10 is finally here! Sporting a gorgeous black or white finish, the Z10’s beautiful display showcases the all new Blackberry 10 operating system.  The device and software were designed together for a mobile experience unlike any previous BlackBerry. With a stunning 4.2 inch display and resolution of 1280 x 768, the Blackberry Z10 can take High-Definition videos with the touch of a button.

At its core is the all new BlackBerry Flow, which eliminates the constant search for information; you’re just one swipe away from the heart of your phone.  Flow allows you to “peek” or view any notifications or alerts you have without leaving the screen you’re viewing, which are all unified into the new Blackberry Hub. The Hub takes your email, text messages, BBM and social media and integrates it all into one incredibly friendly notification center. BlackBerry Flow keeps open recently used applications and anticipates what you’re trying to do on the phone, making for one seamless experience. (more…)

Protect your Lifeline

19. Mar, 2013 Categories: AT&T, Accessories, Smartphone by Communications Electronics Team 0 Comments

By Cody Chanteau

Can you imagine life without your cell phone?  What about ill-timed car breakdowns? Walking through a neighborhood you don’t know well?  With just the touch of a button, you can get out of bad situations or simply hear a comforting voice.  Cell phones keep us in touch with the world, but more importantly help improve our everyday life.

With the warm weather approaching and the anticipation of more outdoor activity, it is time to consider if your cell phone is adequately protected.  As many of us know, just dropping a smartphone or exposing it to water can cause irreversible damage.   Being expensive pieces of electronics that range in the hundreds, our cell phones are highly vulnerable to liquid damage, being dropped and the screen cracking, or just general wear and tear.

With the new Armor series of cases from OtterBox, fear no more!  (more…)

Introducing the Pantech Discover

26. Feb, 2013 Categories: AT&T, Smartphone, Staff Picks by Communications Electronics Team 0 Comments

By Holly Johnson

I have always been a fan of Pantech, without exception, hands down; their phones have a great signal.  And Pantech cell phones have proven to be incredibly user friendly and dependable.

The Discover, Pantech’s newest AT&T smartphone to be released, really is a game changer. It’s an Android 4.0 phone, with all the basics of any Android device and a whole lot more! The Discover has a 12.6 megapixel camera, and is blessed with amazing 3D surround sound stereo speakers. The audio player has a boost mode that can blast enough power into the little speakers to fill an entire room with music. They are ridiculously loud! It also comes pre-loaded with AT&T’s Drive Time App. When active it lets callers know you are driving and alerts them that you’ll get back to them soon. (more…)

Hands Free Smartphone Navigation

05. Feb, 2013 Categories: Apps, Expert Questions, Smartphone by Communications Electronics Team 0 Comments

By Cody Chanteau

Having recently moved to Baltimore, I often found myself in areas I was completely unfamiliar with and would be hopelessly lost without GPS navigation.  In this day and age, most smartphones come with a built-in navigation system that tends to be more useful than actual stand-alone units.  I’ve tried various portable navigation devices, and either the maps are out of date or they just doesn’t want to send me the quickest route.  With most smartphones coming pre-loaded with a free built-in GPS that constantly updates and even speaks to you, the choice is clear.  However a new dilemma arises- how can one safely use this navigation while driving?

While many prefer to just keep the phone in their hand or pocket while attempting to navigate, this can be extremely dangerous on a major highway or any busy intersection.  And some being aware of the danger simply choose not to use their phone while driving, always a wise choice.  But this doesn’t help me and many others frustrated by third-party navigations, yet concerned with the danger of driving while operating a phone.  Thankfully the solution is simple: a car mount for your smartphone.  Today in the immense market of smartphones, manufacturers make dozens of different types of car mounts that allow drivers to stand their smartphones up at eye level without the danger of constant distraction.

I personally have a windshield mount just because my dash doesn’t have room, but they produce stands for dashboards and even ones that plug into your cigarette lighter.  Allowing the driver to navigate hands-free with only occasional glances at their GPS along with audio turn by turn directions makes for a much safer driving environment, and has kept me from getting into any accidents! We here at CE stock multiple types of smartphone car mounts in our AT&T stores, so just come into the nearest Communications Electronics store near you, and a sales associate will gladly help you with all your wireless needs. Without my smartphone’s safely mounted navigation, I might still be lost!

Keep Current with Feedly News App

18. Jan, 2013 Categories: Apps by Lori 0 Comments

By Derrone Showell

I do enjoy learning so when I get free time I like to read a lot. One of my favorite news apps for android is called Feedly; it’s a nice way to catch up on all of my news. Basically you take all of your favorite sites and put them into categories. Feedly then constantly updates you with the latest news updates from all of your websites in a quick and timely fashion.

This app lets me check on the latest sports news or see what new movie trailers are out. You can also discover current news by going to the search menu and typing in keywords, it even gives you recommendations based on what you currently read. A very nice swipe to delete feature within the app lets me breeze through articles at a really fast pace. You can also program a widget with your favorite topics so you never miss any news again.

If you don’t have a good news reader app for your android or iPhone I strongly suggest you download this Free app. You’ll be able to keep up with all the news and happenings that’s important to you, and have it all in one place.

For more information about Feedly, click here.  Do you have more great app suggestions or just have a question?  You can find me at our Ocean City store in White Marlin Mall.

iPad 4 vs iPad mini

19. Dec, 2012 Categories: AT&T, iPads by Communications Electronics Team 0 Comments

By Brittani Creamer

Apple stunned us again when they dropped not one, but two new iPads just in time for the holidays, the revamped 4th Generation iPad (aka iPad 4) and the new iPad mini. But with their simplicity and common design how do you know which one is right for you? Apple claims the mini is “every inch an iPad”, but that’s not necessarily true. While they’re both 4G LTE enabled, and both come equipped with the new Lightning connector port, iOS 6, Siri, and upgraded HD iSight and FaceTime cameras, there are a couple of other factors  to consider before making your final decision.

First, the mini doesn’t have the Retina display. Now, not having the clearest or brightest display may not seem like a big deal to some, but for those considering switching from the 3rd generation iPad (aka iPad 3) to the mini, the display could make a big difference. Interested buyers must keep in mind that any HD apps purchased for their iPad 3 are not compatible with the mini. On the upside, Apple fans purchasing their first iPad or upgrading from the iPad 2 won’t have anything to worry about in that sense. (more…)
