If you've had a new mobile phone for Christmas, take the time to get to know what it can do for you.

Mobile phones are one of the most popular Christmas presents, and whether you've been given the latest iPhone or a basic pay as you go phone, you need to take the time to understand all the features so that you can get the very most fromit.

Setting Up Mobile Phones

All mobile phones need a full charge before they can be used, so make sure that you plug your phone in as soon as you get it. This will enable you to power up the battery, and you can use that time to take a look at the instruction booklet, or go online so that you can find out exactly what your mobile phone can do for you:

• Calling - today's mobile phones are about so much more than just calling, but it's still a key feature, so make sure you know how to transfer or add contact names to your address book and how to make a call. You should be able to set up shortcuts for the numbers you call the most and you can also group your contacts so that it's easy to find work, home and family numbers when you need them. Don't forget to put in an ICE (In Case of Emergency) number to your address book so that emergency services can call the right person if they need to.

• Text and email - all mobile phones are capable of texting and most are also email compatible. That means that you can communicate with pretty much anyone at any time. Check out how your email settings work so that you can send photos, videos or just text emails to work colleagues or friends and family.

• Features - cameras, videos, music players and more are available on a wide range of mobile phones. Take a look at the extra features available on your phone and practice using them so that you know exactly which buttons to press when you need to. There will also be lots of other features available to you, such as setting your screen, memos and organisers and much more.

• Apps - for those mobile phones that can download applications from the internet to make your phone the most interactive yet, make sure you understand how to download your apps and what it costs. That way, you'll be able to tailor your phone to your exact requirements with no hassle.
