Hello this is an image of a snow tipped mountain scene, with blue cloudy skies above, and in the foreground is a lake with tall conifers growing around the edge. Right at the front of the image a hand holding a mobile phone poised to take a photo of the wonderful scene in front of it - however the battery on the phone appears to have run out (indicated by a red exclamation mark and a black and white screen), so unfortunately the person holding the phone will not be able to take a photo. Across the top of the image on a red banner are the words ‘Keep your battery healthy’ and in the bottom right hand corner is the Simpatico Logo.

Hi there, this image is a 5 star review for Simpatico Communications. The background of the image has a darkened, slightly faded photo of a mobile phone being held in someone’s hand. On the screen of the mobile you can clearly see the app icons including facebook, instagram, linked in, plus lots more. In the top left is the blue Simpatico logo, and across the top are 5 yellow stars. The text of the review reads - I have been using Simpatico for my company's mobile phones for many years now and I can highly recommend them. Dave and his team are excellent at what they do and are always on hand to help. Especially when I think I'm running low on data whilst abroad! I look forward to working with Simpatico long into the future. The review is from Andy Dickerson from Appleyards Removals in East Yorkshire. Across the bottom of the image is the Appleyard’s Logo.

The image shows an iPhone being held in someone's hand, and the screen shows the control centre of the iPhone, and the person's finger is pointing at a small white dot at the bottom of the screen. This shows how to start a screen recording. Across the top in white letters set on a blue background are the words 'How to screen record with an iPhone'.

The image is a scenic shot of a little beach cove in Cornwall, in the foreground is a rocky/sandy beach surrounded on both sides by rugged cliffs.

Hi there this image depicts how you can be more environmentally friendly with your mobile phone in celebration of Earth Day. The image has a blue/green theme and across the top in dark blue letters it says Earth Day. To the left is a dark blue earth globe sat on a mound of earth, and sprouting out of the top of the globe is a small green seedling. To the right is a hand holding a mobile phone with the generic logo for recycling (3 green arrows) on the screen. The background is grassy with a pale blue sky.

Hello there, this image depicts the steps you need to take to translate text using the Live Text feature on an iPhone camera. Set on a dark blue background, there are 3 screenshots of a mobile phone camera screen, each one has the image of the text on the side of a German bottle of washing up liquid which is white with a yellow label. The first image has a full view of the bottle with German writing clearly visible, the second image is zoomed in on the details of the label (still written in German) and the final image has the text neatly translated into English. Above the images is a large pale blue arrow which represents the jump from German to English. Top right is the blue Simpatico Logo.

Hello! This is an image of a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 phone. There are 2 images of the phone, the first one is when it is completely folded in half, so it is square and would fit in your pocket nicely. The accent colour of the phone is a lovely pale lavender colour. The second image of the phone is showing it open at a right angle, so you can see the screen and how it folds with no crease. Across the top of the image is says ‘Simpatico Product Review’ and at the bottom it says ‘Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3’ with the Simpatico Logo in the bottom right corner.
