How to Negotiate Discounts With a Cell Phone Provider

1. Ask questions about ending your existing contract. If a cellular provider senses that you are willing to leave your current service, it will do its best to offer you incentives to stay. Customer service representatives are required to make the effort to keep you as a valuable customer. Speak to the representative about other cellular providers and their current offers to see if your current provider tries to match those offers as best as possible.
2. Advise the representative that you are trying to cut costs and may have to eliminate the cellular service altogether. Most cell phone providers offer a discount to your monthly services or features during your tough economic times. It may not be a large amount offered, so don't think that you will get free service each month if you throw a temper tantrum and threaten to cancel. You must have tact when describing the reason you are thinking about canceling your service.
3. Advise the representative of the current issues you are experiencing with your cellular phone. If the phone is outdated and you need to upgrade your phone, ask if there is an additional discount that can be offered. Representatives that inform you that they cannot offer an additional incentive may not have the authority to do so. In this case, ask politely to speak to a manager and explain to them the reason you are asking for the discount. If you have a good customer record with an expired service contract, they will be more willing to accommodate your needs.
4. Ask about refurbished phones. Most cellular providers will offer you a refurbished phone at a lower price. You will not have to cancel your service contract and you will not have to pay full price for a brand new phone. This is a great way to save plenty of cash. Although you may have gotten your original phone at a great introductory price, it will not remain at that price in the future.
5. Get the complete name and identification number of each representative you speak with. Verify with them that any offer that was made to you will be thoroughly notated in your account. The next representative may not be able to offer you the same incentive without that documentation. Even if you do not get the discount you think you deserve, do not yell or get upset with the representative. Although you did not get the discount at that moment, there is still a good chance you will be able to at a later date.

How to Save Cell Phone Text Messages to a Printable File

On Android
The easiest platform for printing text messages is Android. Download the free SMS to Text application by SMeiTi and export the desired text messages to .txt format. This format can be read and printed by most computers. Once converted, plug the device into the desired computer, or simply use a wireless printer and print the messages directly using a wireless connection.
On Apple
When using an iPhone, a slightly more complex method is required to save and print text messages. Download Copytrans -- or any other similar program such as iPhone SMS Transfer Utility or iPhone Transfer SMS -- to your computer, and plug in your iPhone. Export and save the text messages to a printable format such as .txt or .pdf. Using standard printing methods, print the files straight from the computer which they were exported into.
Other Platforms
Other platforms -- such as BlackBerry, Windows or basic devices -- require specific methodology depending on the model of device. The general process is fairly consistent. Locate and download a program fitted to export text messages from your specific device into a print-friendly format. Once exported, use any preferred printing method to print the messages. Always be cautious to research a program before installing it when downloading any software that accesses a device's internal memory to avoid spyware or other malicious attacks.
Other Considerations
In the event that a log of which phone numbers sent and received text messages and when is needed rather than an actual copy of the conversation, contact your local service provider for a detailed printed report of the times, dates and phone numbers. Accessing or printing any SMS conversations from a device other than your own or that of an individual of whom you are the legal guardian can cause serious legal ramifications and should never be attempted, regardless of the circumstance or relation to the person or persons involved.
