4 ways to slash mobile phone bills
Text ‘em. Cheap and efficient. Some companies offer free incoming text, while others offer free unlimited text with certain plans.
Know your network. Check which network most of your friends and peers are on and consider switching to it. Changing networks is easy and you can often keep your number for no extra charge.
Get an IDD card. Great for long-distance calls. Not only does it offer better rates, it also ensures yourtalktime is limited. Most networks have a two-way charge for overseas calls. Or, stick to SMS.
Check your bill. To ensure you catch errors and identify hidden charges. If you find a mistake, dispute it; you’ll often receive credit on future bills.

What To Do if Your Cell Phone Gets Wet
1. Don’t turn it on! If it happens to still be on, turn it off!
2. Take away the battery, and anything else that can easily come off. If slider unslide – flip, unflip. Dry off as much as you can with a handkerchief or small towel. Humidity and very damp areas can sometimes turn that square red.
3. Don’t turn on the phone on for at least a day.
4. Put the battery back in, turn on the phone. Check everything, including keys to see that things are working properly. If they are, great, if not – next step
5. Substitute – If the last step failed – take the phone to your service provider. They will probably check the ‘wet indicator’ to see if the phone got wet. In most cases, in less you have a special warranty, your provider will not replace the phone for free. Good time to upgrade!
