Are you considering buying a mobile phone? Today the demand of mobile phone is on a rise so much so that people prefer mobile phones to landlines. There are different types of mobile phones available in the market. Different phones operate on different systems and each has its own positive and negative side.

Analog Phones: Analog is the original type of cell phone. Analog phones are less expensive and are offered as a free incentive to sign up for service. They are popular worldwide and can be used in 95 percent countries. However with the availability of digital phones, analog phones are loosing its importance. One of the major drawbacks of analog phones is that the sound quality is not sharpest and the minute rate tends to be much higher than the alternatives.

Digital Phones

Digital phones are comparatively better than analog phones in terms of quality service, customer security and ability to support next generation services. Digital offers a better quality of sound as compared to analog phones. They provide better network of signals and have much cheaper caller rates. Unlike analog, digital phones work by sampling pieces of wave and sending it in the form of data. One of the biggest disadvantages of digital phones is that they can give you problems if you’re planning to use it in some other country. As far as analog phones are concerned it will be a safe and better commodity for traveling cross-country.

PCS Phones

PCS is nothing but personal communication service. PCS phones are by and large very similar to digital phones. Personal Communication Service (PCS) operates at a speed of 1850 MHz. They are new entrants in the market and have equipped the features of digital technology instead of analog. Experts have predicted minimum of 23 million users of PCS by the end of the millennium.

SULTAN QABUS RULER OF OMAN

Qabus ibn Saʿid ibn Taymur Al Bu Saʿid became sultan of Oman in 1970 and is the fourteenth member of the Al Bu Saʿid dynasty to rule Oman. Qabus (also Qaboos) was born in Salala, in the southern Omani province of Dhufar, on 18 November 1940. His father was Sultan Saʿid ibn Taymur (r. 1932–1970) and his mother came from the Bayt Maʿshani tribe of the Dhufari mountains. In 1958, Qabus was sent to England for schooling, and he subsequently attended the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. His return to Oman in 1964 was followed by years of enforced inactivity in Salala under his father's watchful eye.
The late 1960s saw increasing unrest in Oman due to Sultan Saʿid's apparent refusal to spend his new oil revenues and because of a rebellion in Dhufar against the sultan's paternalistic rule. By mid-1970, the situation had worsened and Qabus joined forces with his friends in Salala and British and Omani backers in Muscat to organize a coup d'état against his father on 23 July 1970.
In contrast to his father, Qabus threw the country open to development and welcomed back the thousands of Omanis working abroad. Within a week of his accession, the country's first true Council of Ministers was formed with Qabus's uncle, Tariq ibn Taymur, as prime minister. Two weeks after the coup, Sultan Qabus arrived in Muscat for the first time and took charge of the new government. Differences between the two men forced Tariq's resignation in 1971; Sultan Qabus has served as his own prime minister since then.
From the beginning of his reign, Qabus faced two primary challenges: economically transforming one of the world's most underdeveloped countries and dealing with the serious rebellion in Dhufar. In the early 1970s, development activity concentrated on providing education, healthcare, water, and electricity to the people and creating a modern infrastructure. At the same time, the course of the Dhufar rebellion was reversed with British, Jordanian, and Iranian assistance and through an intensive "hearts and minds" campaign. The sultan was able to declare the war over in 1975.
Sultan Qabus clearly stands at the apex of the political system of Oman. Decision-making tends to bypass the Council of Ministers and flow directly up to him. He also has steered the country to a moderate path in international affairs, establishing diplomatic relations with China and Russia while maintaining close political and security links with Britain and the United States. Sultan Qabus was one of the few Arab leaders not to break off relations with Egypt following the Camp David Accords. He was careful to keep channels open to both sides during the Iran–Iraq War (1988) and permitted Western powers to use Omani facilities during the hostilities against Iraq in 1990 and 1991. He also agreed to border treaties in the early 1990s with Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
Sultan Qabus has no direct heirs. A marriage arranged by his father to the daughter of an important tribal shaykh never was finalized. A marriage in 1976 to his cousin Kamila, a daughter of Tariq ibn Taymur, ended in divorce.
