Using Smartphone for MovingBy Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group 

Moving to Denver used to include a lot more uncertainty and -- to be honest -- extended boring hours than it does these days. Consider moving during a decade as recent as the 90s. Basic internet, no smartphones. You had to look for moving companies with the phone book and assume which one was the most suitable. Picking a cafe for moving night required a stack of accumulated takeout menus or perhaps driving all over to find out what was available. And throughout your long-distance moving journey? No smartphone to check in, reserve places to stay, or even tune in to podcasts with.

As useful as mobile phones were, the development of smartphones really has made the complete moving process a thousand times easier.

If you're delayed on the way, you ought to alert your movers of that delay. Similarly, they might need to phone you in case there was a bump, bad weather, or delay on their route.

And that is probably the most sensible thing of all about moving with the power of a smartphone.

Activities on Vacant House Day

Thus, you might find yourself with more than a few hours in an vacant house with not much to unpack and no one to see. That is okay, because you have a smartphone.
