Mobile Phone Charging Kiosks
Remember when mobile phones were just used for making calls? Well this seems a thing of the past, as the mobile phone has developed they have added features such as MP3 players, the ability to pick emails up and even browse the Internet whilst on the move, but these all lead to one problem!
The problem being the high usage demand on the battery, just think back and try to remember the last time you went out and realised that you should have charged your mobile phone before leaving home. I for one can be accused of this, even though I have an in-car charger.
Previously before upgrading to a smart phone, you would watch the batteries bars decrease and you could almost set your clock by them, not any more.
Like the ATM radically revolutionized the way we accessed cash, there is a new kiosk out there and it is specifically for “fast charging of mobiles”. These have been deployed in the UK at motorway service stations, seems obvious and they are conveniently located near the car shops. All you do is plug your mobile in and there are different connectors for the different manufacturers and models of phones, put your money in the slot and lock the door, returning in 15 minutes form the coffee shop to a fully charged phone.
In America, plans are afoot to deploy similar kiosks in hotels and airports. Have you ever forgotten your charger? Had to go to the front desk and ask if they can help? I have and I have had the humiliation of having to search through a box of chargers in the hope to find one for my phone, bearing in mind the hotel was costing $423 per night. Now imagine if the hotel had the charging kiosks in the lobby and you saw them as you entered – this would save your embarrassment and I am sure you would give them future patronage for this as this would be unique – well not much longer!
Airports- how many times have you gotten to an airport only to be notified that your flight has been delayed? No matter if it is a business or personal trip you need to notify people and this is a time that your battery is essential, so airports are looking into these kiosks, for future customer satisfaction purposes.
These kiosks come in different formats, from pay to charge as described above or free to charge. These free to charge kiosks get their revenue from displaying digital signage from companies that are relevant to mobile phones, for example a cell phone network provider may be offering new contracts with upgraded phones and your contract is up in a few months, so this would be relevant to you.
