calling him, the reason is probably this simple: The machine called the service company itself using its own cellular network in order to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Mobile to Mobile, or M2M for short, is a technological field that encompasses devices communicating wirelessly on an independent basis, as opposed to a device like a traditional new or old cell phone that is user driven. &nbsp;There are possible examples of the technology wherever you look, from the coffee machine at work to the burglar alarm that has cellular for a backup for monitoring by the central station in the event that someone cuts the phone lines, to the glucose monitor that you have to wear because of your diabetes.&nbsp; In addition, that is not even including that suspicious freestanding ATM you use at the convenience store.<\/p>\n<p>The devices give a big boost to efficiency and save a considerable amount of money by completely automating remote management and data collection.&nbsp; Rather than the electricity company having to send out a meter reader to every house that uses electricity, the meter simply sends its data in all by itself.<\/p>\n<p>Nor is the cost of the devices particularly expensive either as, with such devices generally not requiring high speed access, it can be achieved for as little as just $1 per device every month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the service person arrives to fix the coffee machine at the office even though no one can recall
