How to Download GPS to a Cell Phone
The Steps
1. First off, your phone must be Internet capable. It is also a very good idea to have a data plan included with your voice plan. Otherwise you will end up running horrendously high phone bills in a matter of days.
2. Your phone must also be Java capable. That doesn't mean you have to have a Blackberry device or the i-Phone, but the phone must have the capability for Java, because Java updates with your new location, and some phones just simply aren't capable.
3. There are a number of programs available online for you to choose from. Searching 'GPS for Phone' will get you a plethora of results, check out the reviews on them and make your decision.
4. Most programs will start running automatically, but some will need to be initiated by the user. If the program doesn't run in the first minute or so after downloading it, find the program, select it and the program will give you an option to Run. Afterwards you will probably need to perform the basic setup procedures, all of which the program will walk you through.
5. If you don't want to spend the phone memory on a GPS system for your phone, you can always use Google Maps (maps.google.com) or Map Quest (www.mapquest.com). The only downer for these programs is that you would need to know your starting location to get to your ending location. They work great in a city setting where you can simply enter in your current location, but are more sketchy out in the rural areas where there aren't as many street signs.

4. Send the SMS to '131.' You will receive a confirmation by Zong via SMS, notifying you that GPRS has been activated on your phone. You will not be charged for this activation.

How to Get Minutes for Free on Prepaid Phones
1. Look for promotional offers when buying into a cell phone contract. Many cell phone companies offer you a free cell phone for signing a contract with their company. However, some also offer prepaid phone minutes when you sign a contract. If you are in the market for a new cell phone, ask about whether there are free minute promotional offers that you can take advantage of.
2. Ask about promotional offers when changing contracts. Cell phone companies want to keep your business. When your contract is up, you have the chance to either stick with the same company or move to a different cell phone company. You can negotiate the receipt of free minutes from your company in exchange for your staying with them and not moving to another company.
3. Join rewards programs. There are many rewards programs on the Internet that provide incentives for people to fill out surveys, shop online, or surf the web using special web browsers. The wonderful thing about some of these programs is that you get rewarded for doing exactly what you would be doing anyway. Sites such as Phone Lagoon and iwirelesshome.com (see Resources for links) provide free cell phone minutes and free prepaid phone cards for simply completing some offers online or shopping at participating stores.
4. Use promotional codes. Websites such as RetailMeNot provide promotional codes for all types of websites, some of which involve cell phone minutes. Other websites, such as tracfone-minutes, a blogspot site, provide specific promotional codes you can use to get free cell phone minutes.
