Did you know that the battery in your cell phone has some reserved power? If you find that your cell phone battery is dead, and you have no way to charge it, enter the USSD "*3370#". You will see up to a 50% increase in power. This reserve power will charge the next time you charge your phone.

 

Don't feel the need to spend the additional money on a cell phone screen protector. Today's cell phones are made from scratch resistant glass. This glass is so strong that even keys won't scratch it when they are next to a phone in your pocket. That screen protector is likely wasted money.

 

If you've got a weak signal, consider shutting your cell phone off for a time. Weak signals are notorious battery hogs for your cell phone. You'll lose power very quickly when you're in an area with only a bar or two. If you plan to be out all day, shutting down your phone for a period is your best bet to keep some battery in play later.

 

If you have a smartphone, you no doubt use it all day long. But be sure to restart it every so often. They're just like computers. A restart clears up memory. You'll find a few shut downs really help.

 

Does your battery seem to die quickly? You could have a weak signal. Weak signals can actually kill a battery. Turn it off if you do not need it to preserve the battery.

 

Consider doing a little negotiation on the cell phone price. Yes, you can negotiate in most cell phone stores. And it sometimes even works! It may not be for cost savings either. You could try and negotiate a free case with the purchase of the new cell phone. You don't know until you try.

 

Use Talkster if you want to have free international calls during the day and night. This service will give you more ads than you are used to but will reduce the high costs that you will have to pay for calls outside of the country. This will save you a lot of money in the long run.

 

If you want to call someone and have the call go straight to voicemail without it ringing, you can use Slydial. This is a feature that eliminates the risk of someone answering your call. If a number has been calling you and you do not know who it is, this is a great service to employ.
