How to Disable Facebook SMS Subscriptions

1. Text 'off' to Facebook to stop Facebook from sending any SMS notifications to your phone. Visit the Facebook Text Messages page to look up the number to which you must text 'off' to unsubscribe from all Facebook texts.
2. Turn off all Facebook texts by changing your mobile settings on Facebook. Click on 'Account Settings' in the Facebook 'Account' menu, and click the 'Mobile' tab. Turn texts off in the 'Facebook Text Messages' section.
3. Change your notification settings if you want to limit the types of SMS messages you receive. Click on 'Account Settings' in the 'Account' menu, and open the 'Notifications' tab. Check the items you want to receive SMS notifications about, and leave unchecked the items you do not want to receive texts for. For example, you can have Facebook send you SMS messages when someone sends you a private message or writes on your wall but not when people confirm your friend requests.
4. Text 'Unsubscribe' to disable SMS subscriptions to a single friend's status updates. Send the message when you receive a notification that that particular friend has posted a new status.

How to Unlock a Cingular Motorola Phone for Free

Instructions
1. Call Cingular and request the unlock code. You can reach Cingular by dialing '611' from your cell phone. Once customer service comes on the line, explain that you wish to use your phone with another service provider and that you need an unlock code for your Motorola handset. He or she will then file an unlock request with Motorola and e-mail the code to you within one to two days. The code is provided free of charge.
2. Place a non-Cingular SIM card into the phone and turn it on. You must use a SIM card from another carrier to prompt the phone to ask for the unlock code. If you are unlocking your phone before switching service providers (and thus do not have a new SIM card yet), ask a friend to briefly borrow his. Once the phone recognizes that a SIM card from another carrier is inside, a prompt will appear on the screen asking you to enter the SIM Subsidy Unlock Code.
3. Enter the unlock code. Take great care to enter the code exactly as provided. A message will appear onscreen confirming that the phone has successfully been unlocked.

How to Get a Free Cell Phone If One Already Has a Plan

1. Get an upgrade. Although you are not a new customer, your cell phone provider might offer you free cell phones after you have been a customer for a certain amount of time--usually after the halfway point of your contract. If you have not reached your upgrade date, your provider might move you up if you order your new phone with a customer service representative.
2. Switch providers. If another provider offers a free phone you like, consider switching providers. Your new provider can also help you keep your present cell phone number for convenience. However, you will likely have to pay a termination fee with your old service provider.
3. Trade your phone. Sites such as Craigslist.org allow you to trade or sell your phone, so you can either get a new phone or use any sales proceeds to purchase a new phone. At Flipswap (see Resources), you can get your current phone appraised, and they will send you a check or gift certificate that you can put toward a new phone.
