Cellphone Plan

Smartphones make just about every aspect of our lives easier—but only when used responsibly. It’s important to know when and where to use your phone. Being unable to put some separation between you and your cell could hurt your career, whereas moderate cell use could help you thrive. But how do you know where the right balance is? If you're not sure whether your cell phone use is appropriate, here’s a look at how striking the right balance could impact your professional life. How a Smartphone Can Help Your Career 1. Browse job opportunities whenever, wherever. If you’re looking to make a career change, having a smartphone can make it easier to find new opportunities.

The money you earn from your job might be just enough to cover monthly expenses, leaving little disposable cash for fun. If you’re looking to make a few extra dollars for entertainment or recreation, a side hustle is the way to go! And if you have a cell phone, putting extra cash in your pocket might be easier than you think. From apps to mobile reminders, here’s a look at five different ways your cell phone could help you earn a little more cash. 1. Take pictures If you have a high-quality cell phone camera and you enjoy photography, consider taking photos with your camera and selling these for cash. Download a photo editing app directly to your phone - like Adobe Photoshop Express or Snapseed - to enhance your images, and then create an Etsy store selling your best shots, or market your photos to stock photography companies. For example, if your photos are accepted by Shutterstock, you can earn 20 to 30 percent of the purchase price of your photos, and up to 60 percent of the purchase price… Read more

If you don’t have an unlimited cell phone plan, you might watch your monthly data like a hawk. Going over your allotted data can result in a higher bill, which could potentially throw off your entire monthly budget. Using a cell phone isn’t always cheap, so if you’re looking to save money, start by learning how to waste less data on your daily activities. Here’s what you can do. 1. Don’t turn off your phone’s Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi can be a godsend when you don’t have an unlimited data plan because you’re able to stream and surf the internet without using your cellular data. But for this to work, you must turn on your phone’s Wi-Fi feature. If you turn off Wi-Fi, your phone will no longer automatically connect to your home’s network or any other network that you’ve previously joined. As a result, the more you stream, check email or browse the internet, the faster you’ll eat away at your monthly data. 2. Get a new Wi-Fi router. Then again, maybe you never turn off your cell phone‘s Wi-Fi, yet… Read more

It’s no surprise cell phones can be used as a GPS, a music player, a camera, an alarm clock and more. Smartphones have come a long way in recent years and, as phones have gotten better, apps have become more innovative, making our lives simpler. But even if you fully utilize your phone, you might not be aware of some of the lesser known tools available in the app store. Think you've got every app under the sun? Here’s a look at seven super helpful, surprising tools you didn't know your phone could handle. 1. Level If you’ve ever hung a photo or picture on the wall, you know the importance of aligning it perfectly. Without a level handy, you might use the naked eye to determine whether a picture is straight. But why risk it? No one's eye sight is that perfect, especially up close, since your perspective is so skewed. Rather than risk hanging a picture awkwardly or making unnecessary holes in your wall, download an app that can turn your phone into a level. Once you’re ready to complete… Read more
