Reduce Mobile Phone SMS and Call Costs
What would you say if there is an easy way to reduce mobile phone SMS and call costs ? I’m using a service called Cellity for some time now and was able to reduce my mobile phone bill tremendously. I do write the occasional SMS which usually costs between €0.10 to €0.20 per SMS. Cellity reduces this to the cost of the data transfer rate of the SMS which is just a few Kilobytes the most.

Unlimited means no restrictions
That is at least the definition by us common folks who are happy to get an unlimited plan – be it Internet or mobile phone – only to find out that the fine prints are detailing lots of exclusions that turn the advertised unlimited plan into a limited one.

How to reduce mobile phone bandwidth costs
Reducing the bandwidth costs of my mobile phone is one of my top priorities in this month. You might remember that I used my Nokia N73 as a modem to go online during my summer vacation which did cost me more than $400 for just a few hours of going online and writing articles.

Scan, Fax and Copy with your mobile phone
I always thought it would be nice to put the camera that most mobile phones are equipped with to got use and have a software that would make it possible to take a picture of a document and fax or send it to someone using the same phone. I don’t have a fax because I rarely need it but I miss it dearly whenever I need it.

Get Free iPhone Ringtones from iTunes
This is probably not the best hack in life but it is still valid and working. You could use the ringtones for other mobile phones as well if you convert the m4p extension to a format that your mobile supports. The principle of grabbing song samples and use them as your iPhone ringtones is pretty simple.

Create your own mp3 ringtones
Most teens love ringtones, new ones, unique ones that none of their friends have. It almost seems like a race for the newest coolest ringtone which starts again with every passing day. One method to get the newest ringtones would be to buy them for horrendous prices – honestly I never understood why users would pay so much money for a 20 seconds song. A better (cheaper) way would be to create the ringtones on your own which ensures two things:
