Phone Medics Plus Makes House Calls!

At Phone Medics Plus, we pride ourselves on providing our customers the best service at an affordable price. We also strive to make your repair process as smooth and convenient as possible. That’s why we recently began offering our customers house calls for certain computer and home entertainment services.

At Phone Medics Plus, we know that it isn’t always easy to get your electronics to us for repair. Sure, a phone, tablet, or laptop can just be dropped off at our facility, but other things are harder to bring in. Desktop computers are bulky, and sometimes unhooking them and loading them into your car can be difficult. And some things aren’t really portable at all. If you’re having problems with your home wireless network or connecting a set-top box like a Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, or FireTV to your television, then coming to our facility isn’t really an option.

That’s where our house call service comes in. For a reasonable hourly fee, our experienced technicians will come to your house, evaluate your problem, and help you get everything working like it should be. We can help you set up, troubleshoot, or optimize your home wireless network, setup network printers and other devices, set up home entertainment systems like set-top boxes and game consoles, and more.

So, if you’re having problems with devices that you can’t bring to us, then give us a call and Phone Medics Plus will come to you.

The Best Cloud Backup Services

Anybody who’s ever suffered a data loss knows the importance of keeping your stuff backed up. In a previous post, we gave you a basic guide to keeping your computer backed up using a combination of on-site backups and cloud-based backups. Today we’re going to go a little more in-depth on the cloud backup piece of the equation. There are a lot of cloud backup services out there, so today we’re going to take a look at some of the best options. What To Look For The two main factors to consider when you’re looking for an online backup service are storage capacity and price. The first thing to do is figure out how much data you want to backup and decide how much (if any) more space you might need in the future. Once you’ve done that, you can start looking at prices for the amount of storage you need. Of course, there are other factors to consider. You want to make sure that the service offers a software client for your operating system, and look into how they plan to get your data ...

Parental Controls Part 1: iPhone

A parent’s most important (and sometimes hardest) job is keeping their kids safe. That’s as true when they use technology as it is when they do anything else. With technology, though, the process can sometimes be tricky and confusing. It can be hard to know the best way to protect our kids from unsavory content on the internet, and our wallets from accidental in-app purchases. Fortunately, Apple offers some great options for managing your kids’ activity on their iPhone. In today’s post, we’ll walk you through some of those. Restrictions Your first line of defense is the Restrictions section of your iPhone’s settings app. You can find it by opening up Settings, tapping General, and then tapping Restrictions. When you turn restrictions on, you’ll be asked to set up a passcode. Of course, you’ll want to pick something that’s different from the passcode that unlocks the phone, and something the child who will be using the phone doesn’t know and won’t be likely to guess. Once you get i...

Parental Controls Part 2: Android

In our previous post we talked about the need to have a little control over what your kids do on their devices, and some of the best ways to implement that on the iPhone (and other Apple devices). Today we’re going to go over how to accomplish some of the same things on Android devices. Fair warning: the variability of Android devices on the market means that some features, settings, and options might not be available on your particular device. With that caveat in mind, here are some of the things you can do to keep your kids safe when using Android devices. System Settings While Android lacks an equivalent to the device restrictions settings on the iPhone, there are still some things you can do to control what your kids do on their phones. For one thing, any tablet running Android 4.3 or newer offers you the option of creating restricted profiles - separate user profiles for your kids that limit their access to certain apps, the Google Play store, etc. Phones running Android 5.0...
