Mobile phone Protocols

The mobile phone ways of communication are: Texting, which is a form of SMS and you need another persons phone number to do this, Bluetooth, which is a way of sending files like music and pictures to another persons phone who is right next to you. Also, there is calling people which is where you use someones phone number and you can talk to them through your mobile phone. Also, there is social networks, which are on the internet which you can get on most modern smart-phones now-a-days, which are mainly used on laptops and computers, but you can access them from your mobile handset. Lastly, there is WiFi which is the most common protocol of a mobile phone. WiFi is good because it means rather than pay for the internet when your at home, a friends house or your office, simply just connect to a near-by router.

Tablet/Laptop Protocols

The ways of communicating on a tablet or laptop are the most obvious which is internet, which opens a lot of opportunities for example Social Networks, Blog Sites and also Skype which is a way of video calling people over a webcam. Laptops also run Bluetooth if they are modern, so you can send a file from your laptop to your phone or the other way round. Also these have WiFi, as tablets they should have this because its like a touch screen PC/Laptop.

Wifi is one of the most common protocols because it is used on pretty much every device with the internet on it. It is basically short for Wireless Internet Connection, and it allows you to browse the internet, without using a Ethernet cable so you can do it anywhere.
