OnePlus 6T will be much easier to buy in the UK (Updated)

OnePlus

Update, October 24, 2018 (11:35 a.m. ET): OnePlus has added another retail partner to the pile ahead of the release of the OnePlus 6T, and this one is a biggie.

In a press release today, OnePlus confirmed that the OnePlus 6T will be sold via Amazon.co.uk, marking the first time a OnePlus phone will be available from the world’s largest online retailer from launch.

“We have always seen a high demand in the UK for OnePlus products,” said OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei. “So we’re pleased to be working with Amazon.co.uk – a partner who holds the same vision as us – to offer people more quality choice.”

The OnePlus 6 began selling on Amazon.co.uk earlier this month so it’s not too much of a surprise to hear the OnePlus 6T will follow suit. We’ll share more on where to buy the OnePlus 6T in the U.K. and other regions as soon as all of the price and availability details are revealed on October 29.

Original story, October 15, 2018 (2:37PM ET): Even though the upcoming OnePlus 6T might end up being an iterative update to the OnePlus 6, it might also represent a shift in how OnePlus sells its products. Look no further than the U.K., where OnePlus announced new carrier and retail partnerships that will make the OnePlus 6T the easiest OnePlus smartphone to buy in the country.

Once the OnePlus 6T goes on sale November 6, it will be available through EE, Vodafone, and O2. The phone will also be available through retailers John Lewis and Carphone Warehouse if you want the SIM-free version, though you can go to OnePlus’ website if you want the phone directly from the folks that made it. Finally, OnePlus also partnered with mobile distributor DataSelect.

Three is notably absent from the carrier list, though OnePlus might want to change that with future releases. Something else of note is that we do not know if the carrier versions of the OnePlus 6T will be locked to their respective carriers or be unlocked from the get-go. Finally, we still do not know how much the OnePlus 6T will cost.

OnePlus 6T: All the rumors in one place (Updated October 23)

In this post, which will be updated regularly, we take a closer look at the latest rumors surrounding OnePlus’ upcoming OnePlus 6T smartphone.
Updated, October 23, 2018 (06:28PM EST): There have been a lot of new …

Regardless, this is a substantial business change for OnePlus. Previously, you could only buy the OnePlus 6 either through OnePlus’ website or O2. The news lend credence to the rumor that T-Mobile will offer the OnePlus 6T stateside, which would be the first time a OnePlus phone is sold through a U.S. carrier.

This is a far cry from the polarizing invite system that soured the OnePlus One and OnePlus 2’s launches, a system I am sure that no one misses. There might still be issues with stock, sure, but that is nothing compared to the pages of comments that requested invites from total strangers.

We will have to wait until October 30 to see what the OnePlus 6T offers. Rumored specs include a Snapdragon 845, 6GB to 8GB of RAM, and a dual-camera setup. OnePlus already confirmed the lack of a headphone jack, an optical in-display fingerprint sensor, and two missing gestures.

Build powerful apps on the Universal Windows Platform

It seems everyone is off building Android or iOS apps, but Windows shouldn’t be overlooked. Not only does it span any number of mobile and gaming devices — smartphones, Xbox One, Surface, etc — it also powers a vast number of business and personal computers throughout the world.

App building for Windows has its own language and platform, so specialist training is required to learn. You can get over 45 hours of premium instruction in this field from the comfort of your own home with the Microsoft Universal Windows Platform Expert Bundle. We’re spotlighting it today because of a massive temporary reduction in the signup fee.

The Universal Windows Platform lets you build apps for any Windows device and publish them to the Microsoft Store. It lets you use state-of-the-art features to create apps that are personal and intuitive. Given the number of companies worldwide run on Microsoft infrastructure, it’s also a very marketable skill.

Use state-of-the-art features to create apps that are personal and intuitive.

In this hands-on bundle comprising 10 courses, you’ll be guided through using PowerShell: the programming language used in developing windows apps. Building apps yourself is the best way to learn, and your instruction is often driven by making real-world applications.

There are a number of ways you can monetize your apps once they’re ready. A paid download is the simplest option, or you can let users try before buying with a free trial. There’s also in-app purchases or advertising revenue. The common thread is a pleasingly passive income.

Given the vast amount of specialist training within, the list price of $3,300 isn’t so crazy. However, right now it’s available for only $39. Opportunity knocks.

How to Add a Click-to-Call Button in WordPress (Step by Step)

Do you want to add a click-to-call button in WordPress? As more people visit your website using their smart phones, adding a tap-to-call button makes it easy for them to contact you. In this article, we will show you how to easily add a click-to-call button in your WordPress website.

Why Add Click-to-Call Button in WordPress

Many small business websites rely on customers to contact them for quotes, pre-sale information, or support.

That’s why we recommend adding a contact form to all website owners.

However, depending on the industry some users may want to speak with a person right away.

As mobile web traffic increases around the world, often users find it more convenient to just tap-to-call and get the information they need.

If you’re just starting a business, then we recommend looking into a professional business phone service, so you can do call forwarding, share numbers with employees, and answer calls using your cell phones from anywhere (instead of a landline).

That being said, let’s take a look at how to easily add a click-to-call button in WordPress.

Method 1. Adding a Click-to-Call Now Button in WordPress Using Plugin

This method is easier, but the downside is that it will only display click to call button on mobile devices. You can use Method 2 in this article to add phone number on all devices.

First thing you need to do is install and activate the Call Now Button plugin on your site. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, you need to visit Settings » Call Now Button page to configure plugin settings.

First, you need to check the box next to button status to enable it. After that you can go ahead and enter the phone number you want people to call.

Optionally, you can provide text to display or hide the icon. If you leave it blank, then the plugin will show a call button with the phone icon.

You can click on the ‘Advanced Settings’ link to further configure the call now button to add tracking, control position, and limit appearance.

The first option under advanced settings is to change the button color. You can use this option to match your theme’s color scheme.

After that, you can enable Google Analytics tracking which will allow you to see how users interact with the call button in your Google Analytics reports.

Lastly, you can selectively show or exclude button from specific WordPress posts and pages.

Don’t forget to click on the save changes button to store your settings.

Once you are done, you can visit your website on a mobile device to see the call button in action.

Method 2. Manually Add Click to Call Button in WordPress

This method allows you to manually add click to call buttons and links anywhere on your WordPress website.

The easiest way to add a clickable phone number to your website is by adding them like this:

<!--This link will work on Android and iPhone. It will be visible to desktop users but will result in an error when clicked -->

<a href="tel:+15555551212">+1 (555) 555-1212</a> 
 
<a href="tel:15555551212">Call Me</a>

These links will open the phone app on mobile devices. On desktop computers, Mac users will see an option to open the link in Facetime, whereas Windows 10 users will see the option to open it in Skype.

You can also use HTML to add an image or an icon next to the click-to-call text link.

Let’s take a look at how to do this.

First, you need to visit the Media » Add New page and upload the image you want to use. After uploading the image, you need to click on the ‘Edit’ link to proceed.

This will bring you to edit media screen where you need to copy the file URL. You will need it in the next step.

You can now edit the post, page, or custom HTML widget where you want to display the click-to-call phone icon. In the edit area, you can now add the phone icon image wrapped inside the tel: link.

<a href="tel:+15555551212"><img src="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/phoneicon2.png" alt="Call us" /></a> 

Once done, you can visit your website to see the click-to-call link with the image you uploaded.

You can further customize this by adding more text before or after the link, and use custom CSS to style it.

Adding a Click-to-Call Link to WordPress Navigation Menus

You can also add the click-to-call link to your WordPress navigation menu.

Simply go to Appearance » Menus page and click on the custom links tab from the right column. Now you can add the phone number in the link field in the following format:

tel:+155555555

After that, add the text you want to display and then click on ‘Add to menu’ button.

Next, visit your website to see your click to call link in action.
