Don't assume your phone is broken if you drop it in liquid. Take the battery out and place the cell phone in a plastic baggie filled with rice. This will allow moisture to get soaked up that is inside your device.

 

You do not have to pay charges for calling information. One way is to call 800-411-FREE. This will help you get your required information after you listen to a shot ad.

 

Consider purchasing a used phone if you are looking to upgrade before your contract allows you to. This is often less expensive than buying new, and you will not be locked in to a specific contract period. Just make sure your provider supports the phone you want to buy, and that you can easily add it to your plan.

 

Do not download any apps unless you know they are from a trusted source. Anybody can make an app and sell it. Sometimes, there are trackers or other undesired things within them. Knowing that the person or company is reputable will reduce the chance of you getting a virus or tracker in your phone.

 

Understand your cell phone plan. These plans can be rather complex between data allowances, total talk minutes, text messaging, and international rates. Before you accidentally blast through an allowance and get charged more, know what you can and can't do. This can save you a ton of money on the monthly bill.

 

If your cell phone ever gets wet, turn it off immediately. Take it apart and remove the SIM card, battery and any other removable internal parts. Next, put it all into a bowl full of rice. Lave it overnight to allow the rice to dry it out thoroughly. Blow it out and it should work!

 

If you have a smartphone it can be tempting to leave it on all of the time so you never miss any social media updates. This is not a good idea because your phone needs to be restarted every day or two. This will keep unused programs from continuing to purge your memory.

 

While it may be en vogue to use a smartphone, if you need to save money, stick to your flip phone. Not only can you get one for free with a contract at your favorite mobile carrier, you'll find that replacing it if it breaks is significantly cheaper. You can also save by not having internet access in your plan.

 

Don't invest in the most expensive cell phone available on the market. There are plenty of great phones for half the price of a more expensive one. When you purchase overpriced phones, you are generally paying for the level of popularity they have and the brand name. More affordable phones can be just as great, but perhaps not as popular as an iPhone.

 

As stated above, it is important to have a cellphone that you can rely on in this modern world. Having a great battery life, the right specifications and access to good apps is very important. Use what you've learned here to find the perfect cell phone.
