1
Research the local providers in your area. This depends on your region and includes numerous brands. Look at different service contracts.
  • How many minutes are offered per month? How much does it cost to go over the maximum?
  • What features are available? What services cost extra?
  • Is coverage and service available in the area where you live and areas where you travel regularly?
  • How long is the initial contract? Does it include a phone, or will you purchase that separately?
    • that separately?

    Consider using your local phone company and adding the cell phone to your home phone bills and see if there are any discounts. Otherwise, find a company with the features you like, make sure their service is good in your area, and try to get a company your friends have because many offer free mobile to mobile minutes which could be helpful.

    Purchase a cell phone and associated plan. If you have bad credit or you simply want to try having a cell phone without signing up for a long contract, you may want a prepaid or pay-as-you-go plan.

    Gather up a list of numbers of people you talk to on a regular basis.

    Input these numbers with the number keypad. If they are out of the area code you are in, add their area code. Your phone should come with a manual with specific details on how to input numbers.

    Dial numbers directly. If you know a number, you can punch it in. Some cell phones "know" what area code they are in, so dialing a "1" may not be necessary.

    Choose or dial the number and push the "send" or "call" button (often indicated with green lettering or symbols). This starts the call. Proceed as with any other phone call.

    End the call by pushing "end" (often indicated with red lettering or symbols). Calls will usually end automatically after the person you spoke to hangs up, but it's best to get into the habit of hanging up, especially since calls are billed by the minute.

    Read your user manual for specifics to your phone and plan. Even if you don't read the whole thing, learn how to:
    • check your messages
    • return a call
    • add a phone number to your phone both manually and after someone has called you
    • send and receive text messages (optional). Keep in mind that text messages cost extra in many plans

    Charge your phone regularly by plugging it in with a charger.
    • Car chargers are available that plug into the cigarette lighter, but most only work when the car is turned on and running.
    • Most phones have a battery life indicator and will beep or alarm when the battery is very low.

    It's actually important to occasionally research on what our phones could do, because the more you know about them, the more problem you can solve by yourself.

    Many of us are just going about with our phones without having the full knowledge of how it is used. our phone usage is beyond making, receiving calls and surfing the internet. All information on the usage of a phone can be accessed through its manual.
