Cell Phones: What You Need To Know Now

By Sara Ezan


Most cell phone owners feel like they need a class just to learn the basic functions of their phone. This is even more true for smartphones. Yet, most phone owners did not learn about cell phone use in school. Self-education is the only way to master power over one's cell phone, and this article is here to help.

Restart the phone sometimes to delete unnecessary programs. This can help your phone to perform better if you do it regularly.

Beware of areas with poor cell phone reception. A bad signal is not just annoying, it is also a real drain on your battery. Even if you're not using your cell phone, having it turned on in an area that gets poor cell phone reception can drain your battery completely.

Smartphone owners tend to be tied to their phones. Power your phone off on a regular basis. They're just like computers. A restart clears up memory. Even if you only restart your phone once or twice weekly, you are likely to see improvements.

Be careful when you're watching a video using LTE or 4G signals. Your cell phone probably has an allowance for the data you can use. Video will use up your bandwidth allotment quickly. If you go over the limit fairly often, you might want to get a different plan.

Before buying that case in the carrier store, check out its price online. Online retailers like Amazon.com often have the exact same case, only for a lot less. You can save 20% or more on the cost. Remember, the retailer forces you to buy those accessories at premium prices. Do the research.

Haggle a bit when shopping for your next phone. You generally wouldn't expect haggling to work in a retail setting, but it is often effective in the case of buying a new cell phone. Try it for yourself. It can't hurt, and people often get between 50 and 100 dollars knocked off the price.

AS they become older, smartphones will slow down. Downloaded updates can help the phones stay new longer. Still, there is only so much you can do before you need a new phone. It does not take long for current updates to be just too much for an older phone to handle.

A screen protector may not be necessary. The latest screens generally have a protective layer already included. A screen protector may make it difficult for you to see your screen or even make it harder for you to touch and interact with your device. Therefore, when buying your phone, ask about the screen and how it was made to determine if additional protection is necessary.

Don't allow your phone to die completely. The battery in your phone is designed for periodic recharging. When you allow the battery to get low before charging, it eventually has difficulty gaining much of a charge. Try getting your cellphone's battery charged at an earlier time.

With the advent of cell phones, we all need to become a little more technically savvy. Hopefully this article has brought you up to speed on things. After all, unless you want to hide under a rock somewhere, you've got to have a cell phone and know how to use it!
