How to Make Free Long

1. For your birthday and other gift-giving seasons, ask for a calling card. This is a great way to get free calls. It can also fit very easily in a care package if you are away from the person giving it to you - everyone wins!
2. If it is a nearby (but still long-distance) call, why not go visit the person instead? It may actually be cheaper to take public transportation or drive to visit the person than to call them. Do your research and decide which is more cost-efficient.
3. In lieu of phone calls, try other forms of communication. We are in the age of technology! Try using AIMTalk, the program that lets you have a free phone conversation through AIM. You can also install a web camera, which would make your phone call even better.
4. Another similar program to AIMTalk is Skype, a program that allows you to sit at your computer on a phone call to anyone around the world for free. All you need to do is register for the site and follow the directions. This program also allows you to plug in headphones and install a web camera.

How to Compare Free Cell Phone Family Plans

Minutes
Family plans share minutes between phones. This means there is a set amount of minutes that is used by all members of the plan. Most family plans allow the phones to talk to each other for free, but it costs minutes to call others.
Text
If you do not have unlimited texts between the phones, make sure your family plan has enough text messages to share between all of the users. This is the same for a data plan. Data is used when you are online on your phone. Ask if there is a per-phone charge for a data plan, or if the provider offers a flat monthly fee for all phones.
Phones
Consider the phones that are free and offered with the family plan. Make sure the phones offer all of the features you want and need. For example, if you text often, make sure you get messaging phones with a keyboard.

How to Remove iPhone Apps From Phone Applications Library

1. Make sure the phone is on and navigate to the 'Home' screen where all icons of the iPhone applications show on the screen. If you've ever moved the icons or rearranged them on the screen, you already know the basics of how to delete apps from the library. If you've never done it before, don't worry - here's all you have to do in three simple steps.
2. With the application icons showing on the iPhone home screen, touch and hold one of them (it doesn't matter which one) until they all start to appear to wobble on the screen. You'll notice that you can touch and drag them to any spot on the screen now, even to the bottom 'favorites' area.
3. You'll also notice while the icons are wobbling that they now have a small X in the upper left corners. *(only on those apps you've added, not those that came with the phone.) Here's the secret step, touch the little black X and you'll get a pop-up dialogue box which warns 'Deleting [application name] will also delete all of it's data' and gives you two choices - 'Delete' or 'Cancel' - so click 'Delete' and you're done - the iPhone app is gone.
4. Press the 'Home' button (bottom center) and the icons stop wiggling on the screen and the 'X's' go away. Congratulations you've deleted an iPhone application!

How to Send Receive an SMS From a PC to a Cell

1. Login to your personal email account on your PC. Your email can be through whichever service you choose; Yahoo and Gmail are two examples of the many free email hosts available. If you do not have an email account, you will need to create one before proceeding to the next step.
2. Create a new email message. This will be accomplished just as you would for a regular email, by pressing 'new' or 'compose.' Type the message in the appropriate field.
3. Determine which address to use when sending your message. To send an email from your PC as an SMS to a cellular subscriber, enter the cell phone's email address. According to AT&T Wireless, an AT&T consumer can send and receive emails using the phone's email address, which is the 10-digit number@txt.att.net. To find out what other carrier's phone email addresses are, simply call the cellular provider. It is important to remember that receiving an email from a PC to a cell phone, as a SMS, will charge the cellular user normal text messaging rates.
4. Send a SMS message to an email address the same way you would text message to any other phone. Simply insert a regular email address into the 'To' field instead of a cell phone number. The message will be delivered into the recipient's email, showing it is from your cell phone's email address.
