Top 11 Ways to Save Money and Time With Your Phone

by Dan Reilly on April 3, 2008 at 12:02 PM

With all sorts of features available on cell phones, people rely on them to manage their lives more and more.
Unfortunately, this increased ease generally comes with a larger bill, whether users realize it or not. With that in mind, Switched presents you with some tricks that will keep money in your pocket and let you spend your time more efficiently. No need to thank us.


1. Don't pay for Directory Assistance

Rather than spending money calling information, use 800-FREE-411 to get numbers without the normal charge or dial 800-555-TELL and get weather, sports scores, stock quotes and more. If you'd rather not use your plan's minutes, text GOOGL (46645) with a search query and get your answer texted to you, free.
