TechyTommy Phones: Getting a Phone!

So today, I'm getting a phone! What phone am I going to get? The iPhone 13! So we went to Cellcom to get the phone! We had to wait a long time! But now I got it! This is my first phone! Now, when we went to the grocery store, I kept on sending videos to Philip while we were there, and when we were coming home! It did take a while, but it worked! I had one problem with it where text messages would take a while, but I no longer have that problem! Now, the iPhone 13 has a feature called Face ID! You can unlock just by looking at your phone! But the iPhone 13 supports a feature called Wi-Fi Calling! What is it like? While, it just feels like a normal phone call or text message! But I would rate my phone 10 out of 10! But I get the Premium Unlimited Medium during the summer, and Premium Unlimited Small during the school year! But let's look at Cellcom a little more! Now, phone quality! Cellcom has VoLTE (they call it "Advanced Calling"), which means phone calls and SMS/MMS messages go through the 4G LTE network! This also means 6-way phone calls and high-quality voice! Now, text messages! For information about iMessage, look back in this article! For SMS/MMS, keep reading! I don't use SMS or MMS frequently, as we are mostly an iPhone family! And I can't even test it out properly! But luckily, it was used at 9:55 AM! Here is the exact message. "Cellcom Msg: We enhanced our network & now you can use data while on a call. No action needed. Go to cellcom.com/advancedcalling for more info or call 611!" And this text WAS sent from 611! For context, 611 is Cellcom's contact number for Cellcom users! But 2 minutes later, a Cellcom employee texted her PERSONAL PHONE from my phone! That worked, which means that SMS/MMS completly works! Finally, data! Cellcom's medium data package is 25 GB, and their small data package is 6 GB! I already used 365 MB of that! But Cellcom offers 1x (slow), 3G (not as slow to medium depending on what kind of 3G we are talking about), and 4G LTE (good). I haven't saw 1x or 3G ever on my phone, and I was on 4G all of the time! And most of the time, I had 2 bars or more! But inside our house, we don't have that good reception! But everywhere except close to our house, it is great so far! I would rate Cellcom 8/10! So overall, I would rate both 9/10!

  Now, you may want to connect your devices to each other. Like your smart home to your email to get an email when it is turned on and off!

My New Computer (Acer Spin 3)

  So recently I got a new computer. So what are the differences? While, this laptop is a Windows laptop, which is new for me. This computer is an Acer Spin convertible, specifically an Acer Spin 3. One thing that this laptop has compared to my previous Chromebooks is that it has a Caps Lock key. So what is in this laptop? This has an Intel Iris Plus graphics card paired with an Intel Core i5 10th Gen processor, along with 8 gigabytes of RAM (memory) and 512 gigabytes of storage. WAY more than I need. So should you get it? Yes. Now, when should you get it? Your choice. You can get it now, or get it when it is not an outside vendor. And I forgot to say, it comes with a stylus. So how many stars do I rate it? 5 stars. And there is also a backlit keyboard, but you can turn that on or off with the F8 key. And you will need to turn it on to turn it off. But overall, the Acer Spin 3 is a good laptop. I recommend this laptop to anyone who needs a good Windows laptop. To actu...
