Mobile FAQs
- Q. What Mobile Phone will I need?
- You will need to purchase a Mobile Phone that runs Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket. The two brands we currently install and support are:
IMate - JasJam:
A small versatile phone sized Mobile Phone - currently available for free on Telstra business plans.
Motorola – MC35:
A more rugged industrial Mobile Phone available for purchase through Buildaform.
M3 Rugged Handheld Computer:
Another rugged industrial Mobile Phone available for purchase through Buildaform.
Other brands can be installed and supported upon request. - Q. What connection will I need and how much will it cost?
-
You can choose to either:
- Dock your Mobile Phone at the end of the day and transfer data. You will not need a data connection package, or
- Transfer data from the field. You will need to be able to connect to the Internet from your device using either GPRS or CDMA. We anticipate most data transferred should be covered on a basic plan ie $5-10 per month. However should you decide to send many photos per inspection then the data transferred cost could be higher than this. - Q. How do I set it up?
- Once you have purchased your phone send it to Buildaform and we can install the application, test and sync to the Buildaform database and we will return it to you ready for inspection reporting.
