The mobile commerce news magazine has launched an affordable program to allow marketers to gain exposure.

A technology and mobile commerce news magazine website called QR Code Press has announced the launch of its press release service, this week, which provides marketers with an extremely inexpensive way to spread the word about their event press without having to spend a lot of money or undergo a complex submission process.

The QR Code Press submit article process doesn’t require any registration and features secure PayPal payments.

The easy-to-platform at the technology news website allows marketers to submit their announcements and articles for only $5.00. Instead of a complicated submission process, marketers need only copy and paste their article text to take advantage of this press release service. They can also add an image to be displayed with their article. Moreover, they can add their own keywords for better search engine optimization, and can feature up to three text links, in order to attract additional attention to their websites, landing pages, products, other articles, or promotions.

The press release service can provide a considerable amount of exposure for a company or brand’s news announcement.

Once an article has been submitted, the $5.00 flat rate also includes inclusion on the Google News approved website, which receives an average of 3,500 to 4,000 visitors per day. Moreover, the submitted articles, once accepted, will be featured in the QR Code Press newsletter, in order to reach the people who have opted in to this weekly subscription. Beyond that, the article will also be shared in social media posts, expanding the reach of the news release, even further.

This press release service uses SEO applications with solid reputations, and then takes the additional step of manually checking every article by members of the QR Code Press staff. This way, superior quality and optimization can be achieved.

Technology and mobile commerce news are exceptionally hot, right now, and it is a trend that is rapidly on the rise. A well written article submitted through a powerful and yet affordable press release service can be a meaningful way to ensure that your announcement is noticed by consumers, businesses, and other media outlets, alike.

Companies across the U.S. have decided to comply with the deadline for unlocking smartphones.

For years, unlocking cell phones from American mobile carriers have caused nightmares and frustrations for consumers, but seven of these companies have now met an industry-created, voluntary deadline for unlocking those devices.

This will make it possible for consumers to take their smartphones from one service provider to another.

When mobile carriers had been stopping the unlocking of smartphones, it was making it extremely inconvenient for consumers to take their current devices from their current carriers over to another operator’s network. This required them to have to purchase a new device and re-load all of their contacts, apps, and other data if they changed carriers or even if they travelled to another country that was not within the reach of their home provider.

Now, with the voluntary compliance of seven U.S. mobile carriers, this will become much more pleasant for consumers.

That said, it is important to note that this still doesn’t necessarily mean that consumers will be able to hop from one carrier to the next without a second thought. It is important to note that even when a mobile device has been unlocked, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be compatible with the consumer’s new service provider of choice. Each carrier uses its own selection of wireless spectrum bands and technologies. Therefore, a consumer will need to first check to be sure that the device will actually be compatible with the desired company’s tech.

The deadline for the unlocking of the mobile devices was first set in December 2013. It was created by the wireless industry within a CTIA Consumer Code for Wireless Service provision. It states that the wireless service provider will unlock a consumer’s postpaid mobile device should the customer make that request, provided that the account is in good standing and the individual’s service contract terms have been met.

Mobile carriers will also wait no longer than one year after initial activation to unlock prepaid devices and if that device isn’t automatically unlocked, the companies will provide the owners of those devices with a notification when the time has come that their smartphone is eligible for unlocking.
