A product of our partnership with sole-sponsor Vodafone, FoneHome.co.uk is published entirely by an independent team of experts and enthusiasts dedicated to delivering only the very best daily mobile news, latest reviews, hottest hands-on videos, must-know tips, tricks and unique phone-flavoured stories.
We understand what makes a great mobile phone, and we’re here to help readers get the most from the phones they own as well as recommend what to look for. As we don’t believe in getting tangled up in techy knots, we bring the facts alongside big-picture understanding and that secret sauce - gut-felt opinion. Not everything is a five-star product (far from it), but we do our best to pick the products we believe rank up there at the top of the tree when it comes to thinking about getting a new mobile phone.
Our editors place readers on the front line of the red-hot UK mobile phone marketplace, all the big names are there: Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, HTC, Blackberry, LG and Apple. We put each handset through its paces, pitting hardware and brands alike in head-to-head competition for the battle for consumer’s hearts and wallets.
Like all of Republic’s websites, FoneHome’s content is thoroughly distributed to other news sites and media outlets both actively and passively. As well as ensuring that our content is unique enough to be shared around the web cognoscenti, we’re always actively making sure that FoneHome features get covered more than classic hits on X Factor.
As always, social media is at the heart of our distribution strategy: video reviews are distributed on YouTube, the latest headlines automatically post to Twitter, while editorial RSS feeds and newsletters help to get the day’s mobile industry news and views out there.
FoneHome actively encourage comments and views from our readers, helping others to make the right buying decision. We work hard to not just engage with readers on the site but also carry on the conversation via Twitter and actively sharing the FoneHome community experience.
