How to Get a Free Cell Phone With a Qualifying Plan
Go Shopping!
1. Do some shopping around before you set your heart on the provider you want to service your contract. Read reviews on the company's customer service and reputation. Compare different plans from other companies along with how much it's going to cost each month. Do some research to find the best phone with the best promotional price. You may be able to haggle with the salesman and turn a $9.99 phone into a free phone.
2. Visit the store to activate your service. Make sure you are aware of any startup or activation fees beforehand so you know how much cash to bring. The sales associate will run your credit and get you approved before you sign the contract. If your credit is less than perfect, don't worry. The provider can still get you approved with a credit-score-based deposit.
3. Add any additional services and purchase accessories before you leave the store. Placing a call to Customer Service and dealing with hold times can sometimes be a pain. Plus, you may receive discounts on merchandise because of your new purchase that you won't be able to receive once you leave the store.

How to Send Chinese SMS
1. Enable your phone for Chinese characters if you have not already done so. Go to your phone's 'Setting' menu and find the 'Languages' option. Select 'Chinese' from the menu. The phone will also give you an option for whether to use 'Traditional' or 'Simplified' characters. If you're sending the text message to someone living in Hong Kong or Taiwan, you'll want to use the former, whereas Mainland China and Singapore use the latter.
2. Specify which phonetic transcription you'd like to use. If you're using simplified characters, your only option will be 'Hanyu Pinyin.' For traditional characters, you'll want to select 'Cantonese pinyin' if your recipient lives in Hong Kong and Zhuyin or Bopomofo if she lives in Taiwan. Save your settings any exit out of set-up.
3. Create a new text message. If you're using an older phone, select the 'Options' menu and change the language to 'Chinese.' On touchscreen smartphones, you can change the keyboard right on the screen. Enter your Hanyu or Cantonese Pinyin or Zhuyin and select the correct character for each section of text, paying close attention that you get the right one. For example, the pinyin phrase 'shi hou' means 'time,' but if you choose the wrong character combination, it can means something like 'things after,' which borders on nonsense. Check your message for accuracy and click 'Send.'
