Motorola's Green phone ~~~>> have a look

If recycled paper and plastic products were not enough, Motorola has now launched a cellphone made from recycled plastic water bottles.

Called the MOTO W233 Renew, the mobile phone not only boasts plastic exterior made from recycled material, but also the device is the first "carbon neutral" phone, said the company.

"Through an alliance with Carbonfund.org, Motorola offsets the carbon dioxide required to manufacture, distribute and operate the phone through investments in renewable energy sources and reforestation," All Headlines News quoted Motorola as saying in a press release.

In fact, the box that contains the phone is also made from recycled material, according to the media release.

Another postage-paid box comes inside the package, which is also made from recycled paper, and can be used by customers to mail their old phones back to Motorola for recycling.

With nine hours of talk time, the phone includes other features like ChrystalTalk technology and messaging capabilities.

MOTO W233 Renew will hit the shelves during the first quarter of 2009 at T-Mobile stores.

Motorola unveiled the phone at the 2009 International CES in Las Vegas.

Where does the SMS go?

What happens when a SMS is sent to a receiver whose mobile phone is switched off? Where does it go?

The SMS sent from the mobile takes a route through the callers Service Provider network to his SMSC (SMS Centre) which is nothing but a server and then to the called mobiles’ Service Provider Network and to the called mobile number if it is in a switched on condition that is, in the normal course.

But before sending the message the status of the called number is first found out from the HLR (home location register) of the terminating network. A flag will be set in the HLR if the called mobile is switched off.

Hence the SMSC will not send the message but leave an indication to HLR to call back to receive the message as soon as the mobile is switched on. Till then the SMS is stored in the originating network’s SMSC.

Duration for storing depends on the design, may be for 4 hours or 6 hours or 2 days. HLR in the terminating network is monitoring the status of all mobiles continuously and immediately after sensing a ‘switched on’ condition of the called number.

HLR informs SMSC accordingly and the SMS is sent to called mobile number now.
