5 Ways to Save Money on Your Cell Phone Bill – Lower Your Monthly Cell Phone Bills

Apr 24
Posted by cell in cell phone

The best way to negotiate lower cell phone bills is information. The person that calls up and says “My bills are too high, fix them or I will leave” is really achieving nothing. Sure you may get free voice mail or something stupid but the whole benefit is lost in the extra work and headache.

If you are serious about lowering cell phone bills then start to look at your own habits. I have 5 steps to help you understand the basics of what you should be looking for in a cell phone plan. This works for business management as well to some extent but this article is designed with the consumer in mind.

1. Get lots of Bills – The more you know the more power you have to set exactly what you want to barter for. So when you negotiate for lower cell phone bills you may actually get them!

2.Do not Follow your Friends – Your friends know what is good for THEM. Learn your own setup and do it yourself, then you do not have anyone to blame when it messes up. Believe me following your friends is not a good way to save money on your cell phone bill.

3. Contracts are good, and Contracts are bad – Contracts are great if you make the service provider work for it. Get that $400 phone for free if you plan to spend $3000 over the next 3 years! Make them work to save you money on your cell phone bill.

4. 15% Rule – Always get 15% more minutes, text messages, long distance, and whatever else then you are going to use on a usual basis. The extra cost will save you money in the long run.

5. Packages, Packages, Packages – Get your service provider to put your voice mail and caller id in a package with text messaging. This can be an incredibly powerful tool to negotiate lower cell phone bills. Generally the more devices you have, the better the deal.

If you have the time and resources available, many people get a great deal on cell phone service. When you have multiple lines it can be extremely time consuming, consider speaking with a communications consulting company if you have multiple lines and want to know you are getting the best deal. If you find that you are spending more than you think you should, seek out a Mobility Consultants company, many can help you lower your bills, and usually do it for a small percentage of your savings, a very win – win situation!

Remember that when you are in the process of negotiating for a lower cell phone bill to always know what you are looking for, exactly, the less work the person on the other end has to do to try to make you happy the better. It is much easier to call in and say “I need 450 minutes, with 225 long distance minutes, voice mail, caller I.D. and 250 text messages, what can you do for me?” Remember to stick to your guns and do not get talked into buying a bunch of extras that you do not need.

Calculate out what it is costing the provider, and yourself so you can call it like it is. They want a fair and beneficial resolution as well, and the quicker they can make it there the better.

Now you are armed and ready to make that call and cut cell phone costs, get yourself a P.D.A. Oh and leave it to the provider to pick up the tab!

Top Cell Phone Frauds – Learn What a Fraudster Might Do to Get Your Money

Apr 16
Posted by cell in cell phone

Con artists and fraudsters are always searching for new ways of getting people’s money. Nowadays, a very popular way of conning people is through their cell phones. If you are wondering who can be a victim of this sort of scam, the answer is anybody who owns a cell phone. If this is your case, then you should be aware of the five most common cell phone scams.

Have you ever receive a missed call from an unknown number? This does not seem like something one would be particularly suspicious of, nevertheless, if something like this happens to you, it may mean that you are about to become a scam victim.

The way this works is by assuming that you will return the call to this unknown number. Generally, the number will look like a domestic one, but once you dialed it you will find that you are being connected to an adult entertainment chat line, which is located overseas.

Also, these unknown numbers may connect you to a premium rate number, which will charge you by the minute. Obviously, you will find the consequences on your next bill. If you do not recognize the missed call number, do not return the call.

Another common scam is carried out by text messages. The way this works is through text messages that supposedly come from your bank or credit card company. This message will state that there are some problems with your account, and they will give you a number to call back.

Once you call this number, an agent will try to get as much personal information as possible, including your account number. This is done with the purpose of stealing your money in most cases. However, in some other cases their purpose is to steal your identity.

Text messages are a common way of carrying out scams. It is through SMS that you will receive spam, with different types of advertisements. What most people do not know is that these messages are charged, and once they started coming into your inbox, they will not stop.

In addition, it is very important that you are very careful when you give out your personal information, to avoid giving it to people with the wrong intentions. Many times, fraudsters will open cell phone accounts with your information and you will be responsible for paying the bills.

Lastly, one of the most popular ways of conning somebody through cell phones is with cloned SIM cards. A cloned cell phone is one that transmits the ESN number of another cell phone. The ESN number is the serial number of your cell phone, sort of like its id.

The person who has the cloned phone will make as many calls as he wants and the real owner of the cell phone will be in charge of the bills. This type of scam is used mainly by criminals to communicate among themselves. However, it is important that you do not panic. You just need to be a little careful to avoid being a victim.

Always use your common sense, and never give out personal information through your cell phone. Also do not return calls from unknown numbers nor answer text messages from unknown senders. Just by following these golden rules, you can significantly reduce your risk of becoming a scam victim.

Cheap Cell Phones – Value For Money Features That Cheap Phones Should Have

Apr 08
Posted by cell in cell phone

Many people use cell phones for different reasons. Some use it just as a simple voice communication device, while others use it to send to send and receive messages as well as voice communication, while yet others use it as a complete communication and entertainment device. However, the cost of the phone is directly variable to the features that the cellphone offers. As a result, some cheap phones are stripped of some features that are not widely used. However, there are some features that must be available in any phone that is supposed to be a good mobile. Here is a short list of such features:

All kinds of Ringtones:

Cell phones ringtones are basically of three types, polytones, monotones and truetones. Most cell phones today are able to play these ring tones. The type of ringtone that a cell phone can play is important because the ringtone should strong enough for you to hear and take the call. Monotones are the oldest types of ringtones, while polytones and MP3 tones are the latest types of ringtones to hit the market. Also, most multimedia enabled mobiles have the ability to play MP3 tones as their ringtones.

Cell Phone Modes:

While phones are a great way to keep in touch, you cannot take a call all the time and there are some times when you would not like to be disturbed by a phone – a time when the silent or the vibrate mode in the cell phone works quite well. However, there are still some times when you do not wish to take general calls, but would want to at least see who is trying to contact you. To aid this, most phone models have several modes, like the Silent Mode, or the Flight Mode, or the General Mode, and some phones also allow you to customize the mode. Cell phones of all price ranges have modes today, and it is almost a general feature in mobile phones. Make sure that the phone you are planning to buy has it.

Speaker Phone:

The speaker phone is something that was seen as a quaint little feature a few years ago, but today is very important, with the mobile phone becoming as much of a business device as a personal phone. With a speaker phone, one or more people can listen to the same conversation at the same time – this comes very handy in several daily life situations. A speaker phone is there a very important feature that should be present in the mobile that you are planning to buy. Along with the speaker phone, one should also look for whether the mobile phone has a headphone jack and allows the use of Bluetooth as well as wired headphones.

Go for the Cheap Cell Phones, where you can buy the Cheap Cell Phones for Sales and get relevant information about phones.

5 Ways To Save Money On Your International Cell Phone Roaming

Mar 30
Posted by cell in cell phone

Do you travel abroad for work or for play and need hate the bills that you get from international cell phone roaming? Well I completely understand. Go Figure! After having recently returned from a nice relaxing holiday in Europe (Amsterdam, Prague and Vienna) I can definitely relate if you are one of those people who thoroughly enjoy 1 Euro half pint beers, but feel the hangover kick in a month later when you open that 100 Euro mobile phone bill. Funny how that works huh? You work so hard to save money via outsourcing and/or setting up an International office where you do a lot of business abroad only to blow your savings on wireless roaming every month. As the current average roaming rate in China (across the industry) is $5.99/minute whether you are making or receiving a call, I’m sure you can see how this can quickly add up even if the only thing you are doing is retrieving your voice mail. So I have decided to share with you 5 of my clever tricks that I often use to help my clients save a ton of money on their international wireless roaming fees.

1. Jajah, ‘Free Your Voice’ with FREE CALLS to CHINA!

Think of it like Skype for cell phones. Most of the carriers intentionally put a ‘delay’ in your wireless handset on the data service hence if you have ever tried to use Skype from your mobile you hear an echo. Unfortunately, it is not a bad connection. It is basically a diplomatic way to keep you from taking up precious and valuable space on the data network and getting a little bit carried away with your ‘unlimited’ data package. Just like nothing in life is ‘Free’ neither is anything truly ‘unlimited’. At any rate, Jajah is a FREE download for your cell phone. As long as you and the person you are calling have Jajah software downloaded on your respective handsets you can call each other for free and talk unlimited ;-) . Jajah makes its money from website advertising and selling other premium services.

2. Babble Stick: Oh the beauty of IP based telephony.

Plug your Babble Stick into any PC around the world and make free phone calls. They also have a handset version of the stick which is really small and cute (it’s on their website). Babble Stick uses a secure software platform integrated on a USB key with audio devices and drivers built in. There is no special software required. Additionally, instant messaging and voice mail comes standard with your Babble Stick. Just plug in and babble away. That word is starting to grow on me. I think I am going to start saying ‘Babble’ instead of talk and ‘Handy’ instead of cell phone, ’cause dat’s what they say in the U.K. Ok now, carry on.

3. Unlock Your Phone and use a Pre-Paid SIM Card.

And better yet if your company uses Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephony service, forward your extension to your mobile number. The reason why is the Pre-Paid SIM Card phone number is different from your regular cell phone number that is why forwarding your number is recommended so that you only have to give people one number to reach you (although you can forward your phone number from any phone that has a call forwarding feature built-in, beware the per call forwarding fee). Unlocking your phone means having the carrier restrictions released so that you can use your phone with any GSM carrier SIM Card. The 2 major benefits of unlocking your phone/BlackBerry is: #1, you can use your phone anywhere in the world there is a GSM network as opposed to only in the places your carrier has international cell phone roaming agreements in place and #2 You can save a crapload of money on your international roaming fees by using the local provider in the country which you are located. With a pre-paid SIM Card you are paying local rates when you make and receive calls within that country and also in most European Countries calling party pays which means essentially your incoming calls are free. If you are a T-Mobile subscriber who has had service for more than 3 months you can call T-Mobile Customer Care and request to have your phone unlocked for free. They will provide you with the unlock code and give you the instructions to manually unlock your phone. For all other GSM carriers you will have to use a third party provider and pay a nominal fee. I personally use and recommend: Unlock It Now And for all persons looking to obtain Pre-Paid SIM Cards at an aggressive international rate, the most aggressive international roaming rate with FREE incoming calls I have found is through Cellular Abroad and Cell Hire.

4. Try to use your data features such as email and text messaging as opposed to making voice calls when possible.

Using two-way messaging and email is considerably less expensive than per minute call rates. And use your Babble Stick ;-) to check your cellular voice mail when possible.

5. Palm and BlackBerry users who travel overseas regularly throughout the year should call their respective wireless carriers and request an international data package.

This will allow you to get unlimited use of your email at a flat fee when you travel abroad. The rate is about $12-15/mo additional. And bonus: You can set up your BlackBerry or Palm as a modem and tether it to your laptop to save on your daily hotel Wi-Fi rate and save from additional added international cellular phone roaming fees that you would incur from data usage.

How Can You Save Money on Cell Phone Plans?

Mar 17
Posted by cell in cell phone

Most people already have a cell phone, or are planning on buying one soon. Most people also want to save money while still getting the best cell phone plans they can. Most cell phone plans are based on your usage, so figuring out how you’ll use your phone is one way to save a little every month. It can take some work on your part to save money on a cell phone plan, but in the end, it’ll be worth it. Here are a few tips for people who’d like to find a less expensive plan without giving up useful features.

Compare Providers and Plans

When you decide what cell phone you want, one of the first things you’ll have to do is choose a provider. There are quite a few available, including US Cellular, Vreizon Wireless, Sprint, T-Mobile, Nextel and Alltel. You’ll want to compare and review the plans and phones available from each carrier to help save money. Consider these things when you make your package and provider comparisons:

1.Rollover minutes are minutes that you don’t use in one month, but which can be carried over into the following month. These normally last a year, and can keep you from wasting money on unused minutes. Find out if a plan you’re considering allows you to keep rollover minutes.

2. Text messaging is getting a lot more popular. This means that the exact text messaging features offered by your provider are important. Find out if you pay a set amount per text message you send, have a flat fee for a certain number of messages, or unlimited text messaging. A good text message plan is vital if you use this form of communication often.

3. Evening and weekend minutes can allow you to save a reasonably large amount of money. Many plans offer free minutes on nights and weekends. If you spend most of your time on the phone during this period, be sure your plan offers free evening and weekend minutes.

4. Unlimited mobile to mobile services will let you talk to anyone else who’s in the same network. Usually there’s a small flat fee associated with this feature, but if people you talk to regularly are in the same network, you could save some money but using it.

Get Rid of Unneeded Extras

One more way to save money on your cellular plan is to get rid of extras you don’t need. Here are just a few things that might be included in your plan that aren’t often used.

· Roadside assistance seems like a great idea, but many people go overboard. There’s no point in having roadside assistance on your cell phone plan if you also carry AAA coverage, or have other plans that will help you if your car breaks down.

· Insurance on your cell phone can be an unnecessary expense. If you have a fancy, expensive cell phone, you may need the coverage in case it’s damaged or lost. However, if you’re just using a basic phone and haven’t had problems in the past, you’ll quickly pay more than the cost of your phone to insure it.

Try Using Prepaid Cellular Phone Plans

Prepaid cellular phone plans are great if you don’t use a lot of minutes, or aren’t sure when you’ll be using your minutes. If you’re using a prepaid plan, you’ll never have to deal with a contract or a monthly charge. You pay as you go, refilling your phone whenever it runs out of money. Many major cell phone providers have started offering this kind of service to people who don’t need or want a regular cell phone plan.

People who have bad credit, or can’t afford a high payment up front can also stand to benefit from using prepaid cellular phone plans. You’ll be in control of your usage and costs, making it impossible to accidentally run up a high bill. Your phone will warn you when you’re about to run out of money. You can then refill it, either by buying a card with minutes, or by calling into a special number.

Family Cell Phone Plans Can Help Save Money

If your whole family uses a cell phone, buying a family plan can reduce your rates. There are a number of different mobile phone plans offered by major companies that are designed specifically for families. It’s almost always cheaper to use a family plan than to buy a separate plan for everyone. You may even be able to get a discount on the family plan’s already low rate, allowing you to save even more. Many plans allow you to call everyone in your family for free, making it easy to contact parents or children if required.

There are many different ways to save on your cell phone plan. Start by comparing plans and companies to help reduce your rates, then pare down any extras you don’t use. If you’re not a routine cell phone user, consider switching to a prepaid plan to save some more money, and remember that family plans can help if you need to get phones for a number of different people in your household. Just use these tips, and you’ll have an easy time saving money on cell phone plans.

Cheap Cell Phones Save You Big Money

Feb 26
Posted by cell in cell phone

Cell phones

Everybody needs a cell phone these days, there aren’t many ways of managing without one. There is such a large range of options, clam phones, phones with e-mail, bluetooth, everything you could think of, and now some of them are even compatible with music players. Sometimes all you need is just a cheap cell phone that can still do all the tricks. Fortunately there are now a number of cheap cell phones, which can offer the range of services for less than the price of a new car.

Looking for cheap cell phones?

The price of a mobile phone has a lot to do with the type of service that you buy with the phone. When hunting for cheap cell phones the first thing to consider is what you will need from your phone. Will you be using it a lot, will you need access to emails, will you only use it every once on a blue moon? These can all affect the type of service that you need. Then decide if you would prefer a contract or pay-as-you-go.

Contract

There can be ways of finding cheap cell phones on contracts through the Internet, though the chances are that if you want something that is more than just a basic phone, a long term contract with one phone company is not the answer. Instead, look for contracts that offer you money off other services, as this can be as good as taking cash directly off the phone. Contracts will often offer money off of calls, or money back for making lots of calls, so this is can be a way of getting a cheap cell phone.

Pay as you go

An option that involves paying less for the phone is pay as you go. This allows you to buy a cheaper cell phone by making you pay for each call that you make. There are no money-back schemes with this phone, and the phone itself may not have all the capability of a contract phone. If you use your phone a lot, then this method will probably end up costing you more than the original phone.

Buying cheap cell phones online

Another method of tracking down cheap cell phones is to search the internet for deals – there are plenty of sites now dedicated to selling phones and accessories through the net, and that is one way of researching the cheap offers.

The modern mobile phone market is a buyer’s market, like so many of the services that are offered via the internet, and therefore it is possible to shop around, and seek the best offer you can get. Once you have made your decision between contract and pay-as-you-go, you should be able to narrow down your searches until there are only a few options. You need to be careful to read all the small print properly. The best options are not always the ones that offer the lowest prices; these can keep you on a leash even after the charges have been raised to the roof.

Make Money Collecting Used Cell Phones

Jan 28
Posted by cell in cell phone

With the economy the way it is these days, charities have to come up with some new ways to raise the all important operating capital that is so desperately needed to function. Of all the ways and means of raising such capital, one way has been tried but somewhat laid to rest. This article is written to revive a very lucrative source of capital. Now we are not speaking about millions of dollars, but for many small non-profits, it could very well become a significant source of revenue…if applied properly. Read on for the details and give it a try.

When utilizing used and old cell phones as a way or raising resources, one must keep the following things in mind in order to be successful. Below are outlined those things which you should do to fully maximize the potential.

1) When collecting cell phones look at the possible locations or resources from which you might draw these cell phones from. For example, you may utilize your church. You may utilize your scout troop parents and friends. You may utilize your neighborhood and even an entire city. You need to ask yourself, “How much money do we need to raise”? The answer to that will help you determine where to draw from.

2) After you have decided on the populace from which to draw (church, scout troop parents/friends, the neighborhood or the city) you need to put together a drop point or multiple drop points. People need to know where to drop off their cell phones, but they do not need to be told. Drop points are places where the same person frequents meaning they will see the collection box and on a subsequent visit, they will donate if they choose. Good drop points are gas stations, a church, grocery stores, universities, colleges, etc. Talk to the managers of these places and arrange an agreement to place well labeled boxes for collections and to make regular pick ups. Also, request that donations include their charging device. Place a short, well written “donation instructions” on the box. Include things like include chargers, batteries, working cell phones, no stolen phones, no broken phones, etc. You may still get some however as people will inevitably use it as a way of getting rid of broken phone, stolen phones and phones with balances because they know they cannot be reactivated.

3) The next thing to do is to know what you are sending in to be converted to cash. This is very important. There are two types of cell phones.

a. SIM card phones which are cell phones that require a little plastic card that is inserted inside the cell phone in order to make it operable. Such companies that use SIM technologies are the New ATT, T-Mobile, Nextel (not sprint), Cincinnati Bell, Sun Com, and Cellular One. These phones are often referred to as GSM phones. These phones are preferred because there is no interaction with the cell phone service provider to make them work. All one does is insert their SIM card and it works

b. Non SIM card phones are phones which do not require a SIM card to operate. They include such companies as Sprint, Verizon, Cricket, Pocket, Helio, US Cellular, Alltel, Virgin Mobile and Q- West. These phones are known as CDMA phones.

SIM card phones or GSM phones can be easily activated without the service provider being involved. These types of phones are more desirable for purchase. The others must go through an activation process via their respective companies (Sprint, Verizon, etc). If the phone has been reported lost or stolen, it cannot be activated. Also, if it has an unpaid balance, it cannot be activated. This only applies to the non SIM card family of phones. This is why the SIM card phone or GSM phone is most desirable. Most online buyback companies will not pay for a cell phone that cannot be reactivated. Sell My Old Cell Phone will pay a broken phone price for such phones, however. If the populace from which you are drawing your phones from is one that can be spoken to (church, ladies group, scout’s, etc) let them know you only collect GSM phones and explain what that is. If your audience cannot be collected and addressed, then sort your collection between the two groups.

4) Go to an online buyback company, such as Sell My Old Cell Phone, and submit an order. You can do this in several fashions.

a. You can simply submit the entire box and let Sell My Old Cell Phone sort them and price them out or,

b. You can submit two separate orders, one for GSM and the other for CDMA. GSM phones have a higher success rate for earning the most money. The CDMA’s are usually parted out.

5) Follow the instructions outlined in the Terms and Conditions and wait for a check!

Reverse Cell Phone Lookup – Are They Worth the Money?

Jan 10
Posted by cell in cell phone

One of the latest crazes to hit the internet is what’s known as a reverse cell phone lookup. Essentially there are now services that allow you to type in virtually any cell number and instantly gain access to detailed information about the registered owner of that number. Today we are going to discuss whether these services are really all that they are cracked up to be.

Why Pay Money For Reverse Cell Phone Lookup?

If the white pages of your local phone book are completely free why would anyone ever pay money for one of these searches? Well what we discovered might surprise you. The truth is that cell numbers are protected by certain privacy laws. As such, they are not publicly accessible and therefore not listed in the phone book. The value customers receive from these paid services is access to detailed information about the owners of certain cell number or other numbers not listed in the white pages.

The companies who provide reverse phone lookup services avoid the privacy law problem by purchasing information about the registered owner from mobile phone companies (who are the only ones who do keep track of cell phone numbers). The companies who provide reverse phone search services then assemble one massive database with all of the cell numbers from all mobile phone providers in North America.

Who Even Needs To Do A Cell Phone Lookup?

At one time in everyone’s life they have had a reason to do a reverse cell phone lookup. For example, you might have had your phone turned off during a movie or presentation and later found out that you had 11 missed calls all from the same number. Maybe you discovered a number written down on a piece of paper and you can’t remember whose it is. You might even suspect that your boyfriend is cheating on you because you keep seeing suspicious number in his cell.

How Much Does a Reverse Cell Phone Search Cost?

The prices are almost always the same. Generally you have two options when it comes to conducting your very own reverse cell phone search. The first is to pay for a single search. The cost of a single search is usually $14.95. The second option is to purchase a yearlong membership in which you can conduct an unlimited number of searches throughout the year. A year long membership will cost about $39.00. A work of advise is that if you think there is a chance that you will want to conduct more than a single search, then it is worth it to purchase the yearlong membership.

Conclusion

The fact of the matter is that if you want to know detailed information about a particular cell number, then a reverse phone search is a great way to get access to that information. You will learn the name, address, gender, number of family members that the owner has and more.

Buy a Refurbished Cell Phone – Keep Your Money in Your Pocket!

Dec 12

If you could save a few hundred dollars wouldn’t you rather do something else with your money? Most people can not tell the difference between a refurbished cell phone and a new one. They look the same, work the same, most likely will have the plastic sticker on the lens, and the cell phone will come in an original manufacturers box. What is the difference then you ask? The only real big difference is that one is advertised as new and one is advertised as refurbished, oh and the price tag. Sure, the refurbished one was a previously owned phone, but major cell phone companies like AT&T, Verizon, Sprint that receive millions of phones back a year under their 30 day return policy are not permitted legally to resell the phones as new. The top selling cell phones on some of the major companies websites are sold as refurbished because they generally offer the phones at a discount from the new counterpart. You can find even much more deeper discount deals from reputable online vendors that sell previously owned and refurbished cell phones.

The people selling refurbished cell phones as new generally charge more money.

You will want to make sure the cell phone has an adequate warranty. Most reputable sellers offer a warranty period of 30 to 90 days for previously owned or refurbished cell phones or at least offer the option for a warranty extension.
