Question

Identify the correct wireless technology from the drop-down menus.

A manager is in charge of 30 retail associates. Some of her duties include scheduling and keeping an updated list of each associate's information for payroll processing. She uses a wireless device to do these tasks. Her boss has offered her an upgraded wireless device that can also make phone calls, send text messages, and even access the Internet. She agrees this will make her job much easier, especially because she cannot always access her e-mail from the store's desktop computer. She has to be on the sales floor to make sure everything is running smoothly.

Which wireless device does the manager most likely have before being offered the upgrade by her supervisor?
