How to Create Your Cell Phone Wallpaper for Free


1. Take a picture with your phone (if you have a built-in camera) and make it your background. Change the wallpaper under your phone’s display settings.
2. Receive a picture via text message and use it as your background. Save the picture to your cell phone’s memory. Set it as your wallpaper under your display settings.
3. Create a background using the image editing software on your computer. Email the wallpaper to yourself if your phone is email enabled. Open the email on your phone and save it to your phone’s memory. Set it as your wallpaper under your phone’s display settings.
4. Email a wallpaper you created on the computer to a friend who has an email enabled phone. Have your friend save the picture to her phone’s memory and send it to your phone via text message. Save the picture to your phone and use it as your phone’s wallpaper.
5. Download a free application onto your phone that allows you to create your own backgrounds. This option will only work if you have a cell phone that allows you to download and use mobile applications.
6. Transfer a background you created on your computer onto your phone using a USB data transfer cable. One end of this cable will plug into your cell phone and the other end will plug into your computer’s USB port. This can be used to upload a background created on your computer directly onto your phone, where it can be set as the phone’s wallpaper.

How to Avoid Cell Phone Ringtone Scams


1. Avoid free ringtone websites. When you grab a ringtone from these sites cyber-hackers can attach a virus with them. These viruses can steal any personal information on your phone including contacts and pictures.
2. Stay away from peer-to-peer ringtone sharing sites. While free ringtones are offered here, you're again setting yourself up to get scammed. Many hackers target these types of websites to install viruses on your phone.
3. Be wary of free ringtone commercials. According to these ads all you have to do is send a text to a certain number then you have unlimited free ringtones. What they don't mention is that sending that text usually signs you up for their subscription service which will cost you $8 to $10 per month.
4. Dodge the subscription service if given the option. As mentioned in Step 3 sometimes subscribing is automatic. If it isn't, stay away from anything where you have to enter your phone number or address.
5. Read the fine print. A deal too good to be true usually is. Don't be impulsive and sign up for anything before you've had a chance to review all the details. Know what you're getting and what you'll be paying for the service.
6. Know the privacy policy. Read it before you give out any personal information. Know what this company plans to do with that information and then decide if you want them to have it.

How to Make Money Giving Away Free Cellphones


1. Research and find one or more affiliate programs you can join, which pay you for giving away free cell phones. An affiliate program is a program which pays you money each time someone you send to them makes a purchase. In this case, every time someone signs up to pay for airtime for a phone you have given away. The amount of your commission varies from company to company, so compare before signing up. Signing up for most affiliate programs is free.
2. Make note of your affiliate identification number. This number must be used each time anyone you have given a free phone to signs up for phone service.
3. Many affiliate programs give you a free website which is used to make the actual sale of airtime. If a customer orders from your provided website, your affiliate number is automatically sent to the company and you are automatically paid. Make a note of the URL of any free websites you have been given by the cell phone company.
4. Make your own website if one is not provided for you or hire someone to make a professional-looking website. Make certain that your affiliate number is automatically linked to the button that a customer uses to sign up for air time.
5. Advertise your site. This can mean writing articles about free cell phones and providing them to article directories with your website's address in the article or in the resource box at the end of the article, or it could mean posting on Twitter, Facebook, You Tube and other social networking sites the fact that you have free cell phones.
6. Monitor your payments. If you sign up as an affiliate with more than one company, keep track of which company's free cell phones are making you the most money and concentrate most of your advertising efforts on the most profitable companies.
