No Download Necessary.

Smartphones have become our lifeline. In fact, the cell phone in your hand today actually has more computing power than all of the computers for NASA’s Apollo 11 mission in the 1960’s. In other words, the sky’s the limit with the things you can do on your device.

In addition to all of the built-in features, you’ve probably downloaded a million apps onto your phone, half of which you’ve only used once or twice. When you consider data/storage guzzlers, hidden in-app purchases and privacy concerns, things start to sound like a real pain in the neck!

The good news is you don’t have to download yet another app to maximize the use of your phone. That’s why we’re sharing 5 unique tips to help you enhance your mobile experience without accepting all those annoying terms and conditions.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#4a0d66″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]New season, new symptoms.

Flu season is here, but what about other symptoms you might be experiencing?

…no we’re not talking about COVID-19.

#1 Finders Keepers!

We’ve all experienced the onset of nausea when you’ve misplaced your cell phone while traveling.

*pats pockets incessantly*

Try changing the background on your lock screen to include your name and an alternate contact number to drastically improve the chances of the finder returning your phone. Not only does it provide them a clear understanding of who the owner is and where they can be reached, but seeing that information will help urge them to get it back to its rightful owner ASAP![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]Now that we’ve found your attention, let’s talk about something that bothers us all…

Wouldn’t it be great if all of your phone bills, app subscriptions, utilities, etc. were on the same invoice? Sorry, we don’t have an app for that…BUT when it comes to billing for your company’s lodging, we got you! With Globeo, all you have to worry about is reviewing one weekly audited invoice that we send you. Never lose your mind again[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#4a0d66″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]

#2 Careful What You Download!

#3 Next Stop, Nowhersville, USA

Ever been in the middle of nowhere with spotty service? We know the feeling. It might be because you’re literally in the middle of nowhere, but it might also be due to the fact that your phone is still tethering to a cell phone tower that you passed a ways back.

Try switching your phone’s airplane mode to ON and then OFF again. Your device will immediately begin detecting the nearest cell tower to regain a signal. Wild, right? Also, did you know your phone charges faster while on airplane mode?[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]Now that you’ve got cell service, we’ve got a question for you…

Do you make several (time consuming) calls trying to find the perfect hotel for your team’s travel needs? Wouldn’t it just be easier to deal with contacting one vendor instead of dozens?[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#4a0d66″][vc_column_text]

#4 Emergency Stash

Keep a $10 or $20 bill wedged between your phone case and your cell phone in the event you need it in a pinch! Speaking of emergencies, ever think about the fact that first responders can’t unlock your phone without you doing it for them? Be sure to update your phone’s emergency contact info so authorities and emergency personnel can notify your designated contacts if needed.

#5 Professional Photos For a Bargain Price (free)

Sunny days are perfect for beautiful photos, but what about when it’s too sunny to get the perfect shot?!

Here’s a quick tip – use your sunglasses as a filter to reduce glare from appearing in your photos. Just place your shades directly in front of your phone’s camera lens before snapping the picture.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]We’re not here to throw shade, but we are a little curious…how long does it take you to book a reservation for yourself or your team?

Whatever the case might be, we can take the guess-work out of your hotel booking process. We make it our priority to get to know you: your preferences, your booking history, your travel requirements, etc. But, don’t just take our word for it, our clients say it best:[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]
