How to Save Money and Time when shopping for a Mobile
Phone
1) Choose carefully whether to go with pay
monthly or pay as you go – the right decision could save you hundreds
of pounds a year!
2) shop online using a price comparison
website – You will save time and money by letting them compare all the
deals for you.
3) Check for added extras on packages, for
instance free texts on PAYG phones, or unlimited mobile internet on Pay
Monthly phones.
4) Look for phones and deals that have
cashback or free gift offers – by taking out a monthly contract with a
free handset you could bag yourself a free iPod too, or even get upto
£100 cashback when you order your contract.
5) Think carefully about the type of
handset you want before committing to buy – the bright pink phone might
seem like a good idea now, but it might not do in 18 months time, which
is how long the contract might be for. - - Kimberley Howson
Pay attention to the signal
strength indication on your mobile.
The power used by your phone
can vary by as much as sixteen times depending on whether you are
getting good signals from the local transmitter. Your battery will last
much longer if you are in a good reception area. Just stepping
outside your car to get better reception can often double battery life
(and halve the amount of energy zapping your head) -- Ed
Battery life of nickel cadmium
and nickel metal hydride batteries can be extended by ensuring that
each time a battery is used it is charged and discharged fully.
Most of us are unable to do this every time so try to make sure that it
happens at least once a week. -- Davit Merten
Get an Electronic Engineer to
fit a couple of ferrite beads on the cable to your "hands free", that
should stop the radio frequency energy travelling up the cable.

Antenna boosters are ten
dollars wasted. At least with a copper bracelet you have some
decoration. -- Axel
