In these modern times of communication people are becoming more and more dependant on the use of cell phones. There are literally hundreds of different plans that all offer completely unique incentives. Unfortunately it is starting to become a little too complicated for most people, therefore if you are one of these people, your best option would be to go with prepaid cell phone plan instead of a monthly contracted plan. This article will discuss the major differences between prepaid cellular phone plans and monthly plans.
Prepaid Cell Phones
So what exactly are prepaid cell phones and how are they beneficial. Well they are essentially this, a phone plan that you pay for when you need more credit. Basically once you run out of credit, all you have to do is go down to the local 7 eleven or anywhere that offers prepaid credit and top up your account. The benefits of such a plan are that you aren't locked into any fixed contract so if you decide that you want to change providers you can do so without having to pay any sort of fee.
When people think of prepaid, they think that it will work out to be more expensive then if you were on a plan of some sort, especially if you are someone who uses their cell phone a lot. This of course is not true as there is the option of purchasing a cap plan where you are given a certain amount of credit for the price you pay, however you will only have one month to use the credit. Basically you get about 5 times as much credit as what you paid for. So if you paid $50, you should get around $250 worth of calls, depending on the service provider.
Monthly Plans
The next choice you have to make is whether or not you are best going with a plan or not. Basically the advantage of going with a plan is that you will normally get a free phone when you sign the contract. Prepaid phones require you to purchase your own phone and we all know how expensive they can be! Therefore if you want to get a good phone that is worth a few hundred dollars, you are more than likely going to get it for free on a plan, if not free then for a lot cheaper.
So in summary you need to make the choice of whether having a good phone is important to you and if it is you are better off going with monthly plan, if not then you can buy yourself a cheap phone and get yourself a prepaid sim card and in the end you are going to save a little more money and have the added bonus of not being locked into a contract.

Soul Mate Or Cell Mate - Cellmate Soulmate Connection
Husband: Two hours everyday.
Friends: Lunch on weekends, sometimes stretches till the cocktail hour.
Family: A Few hour on weekends.
Colleagues: About eight to 10 hours a day.
Cellphone: 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Must be next to the pillow to ensure a sound sleep too.
At first read, this may sound like the schedule of socially inept people, but do a quick calculation and your life can also be divided into roughly the same time schedule. You can manage your typical helter-skelter home-office-party-home day without family, friends and colleagues, but try leaving the cell behind and hey... it's the end of the world.
Especially if you are a single woman in the city, says a recent research by the London School of Economics. The researchers feel the cell has today turned into a replacement for the significant other, a bodyguard and friend for women. We find out how...
Your personal bodyguard
Uhh, it's him again... the guy who doesn't seem to get it when you say 'no'. So rather than make another excuse about why you don't want go out with him or talk to him... just pick up your cell and... talk away to glory. So what if there's no one at the other end? After all, your cell is a physical barrier as well and the best way to tell someone to lay off. "Sometimes, when I want to avoid someone, I just pretend to call, or may be scroll the messages. Laugh if you will, but no one dares to disturb me while I am doing that," says actress Lisa Carey. But maybe you want to heed this advice: Don't try this on your boss even if his diatribes on your falling standards are sending you into a coma!
For the fix of gossip
The women respondents to the survey have termed the cell as "the new village green". The idea is to pass notes about the 'Ms-know-it-all' colleague, the siren who is giving your guy a once over or that hunk who's just joined your office today. No woman can resist the temptation of telling her buddy about this ASAP - so the SMS! "Aren't there times when someone or something is so irritating you that you need to tell your friends about it? Waiting till the weekend or evening would be too long. While I haven't done it often, it is a lot of fun," says VJ Kirstin.
Your personal companion
You are again stuck in a party where you know just one person, who coincidentally knows everybody else. Rather than merge with the wallpaper and be tagged as a loser with a capital L, women would prefer to have a tete-a-tete with their ol' friend - the cell. "There have been times I have checked out even the toll options in my cell to seem busy at a party. Believe me, it seems like manna from heaven then," feels design student Carolyn Barger.
Oh, that feeling of safety
Respondents to the LSE study say they feel safe with a cell around because according to them, "there are real people in there". "Whether I am out of the city for work or at my apartment or travelling late at night, my cell keeps me safe. It is some semblance of sanity in my life," says entrepreneur Tania Dally. And have they used this 'safety valve'? "Numerous times. When you're caught in a downpour with the car tyre punctured, just listening to a friend telling you to relax, it is going to be fine, is such a relief," adds Lamba.

How Can I Find Someone's Cell Phone Number
Have you ever had this happen to you? You meet someone, know their name, but for whatever reason you didn't get their mobile phone number. You know they have a cell phone because they showed it to you but when you try to look them up using a phone book or online "Yellow Pages" their name is no where to be found. And there you are asking "how can I find someone's cell phone number?"
As you have found out, if you did what was said above, there is no phone book of cellular numbers. Because of various federal regulations concerning privacy all cell phone numbers are unlisted to prevent data mining by telemarketers and their ilk. While this keeps cell phone spam to a minimum it makes it increasingly hard to lookup someone's cell phone number.
So what do you do when you are faced with this problem? Fortunately there are several options available to you when it comes to looking up mobile phone numbers.
Your first two options won't cost you anything other then some time, patience, and a less ideal return on those two things. In other words free doesn't necessarily translate into a high success rate. On the other hand it doesn't hurt to try because you just never know when you'll get lucky.
The quickest of the free cell phone number search methods is to "Google" the person. It really can be that simple if they have happened to leave some personal information about themselves on a website somewhere. Social networking sites such as MySpace, online classified ad sites, and message boards are the most likely spots to return someone's name, address, and phone number.
Your second choice when it comes to free cell phone number searches is using one of the no cost cellular directories that can be found on the internet. There is a catch to using one of these free sites. In order to join you will have to help them populate their name and number database by entering your own cell phone information into it before they will allow you access. This method is slowly gaining the acceptance of cell phone users but these databases are far from complete.
In most cases the best way to find that unknown cell phone number is through a national registry of cellular numbers. These websites do charge a small membership fee but it can be well worth the cost in time savings alone. You will also get you unlimited searches for the lifetime of your membership and if you have a web enabled phone you can access the site from your phone. It's like having a portable phone book where ever you go.
So the next time you are wondering "how can I find someone's cell phone number", here are three ways which should be able to help you. Just remember there are over a billion cell numbers out there and the method you choose will have a direct bearing on how successful you are.

It’s raining mobiles at Jagdish Market – Cell Phones in Hyderabad
There isn’t a better place in Hyderabad than Jagdish Market at Chirag Ali Lane in Abids to pick up a mobile phone. The market is choc-a-block with stores selling cell phones and everything related to it. What began as a hub for watches and electronics is now the single largest mobile phone market in Asia.
Phones Galore…
Where else in the world will you find stores for spectacle frames and lens having a separate counter for mobile phones? All the stores here sell some type of mobile product or offer some mobile-related service regardless of their actual business. That is Jagdish Market for you. Also known as Abids Shopping Centre, you will find both original and fake products here. The place is filled with second-hand cell phones, "box pieces" (new ones) and Chinese phones too.
Accessories and Repairs…
You can pick up accessories like scratch proof screens, tags and fancy pouches at nominal prices here. The place also has many "unlocking" centres for phones bought outside India and are therefore "locked" to a certain service provider or SIM card. There are a few mobile phone servicing centres where one can get their phones repaired. There is no fixed rate for servicing mobile phones as it depends on the phone’s model and the type of problem. It could be anything ranging from a simple component problem to software hassles.
Sale of Seconds…
You can also sell your old mobile phones here. Most store keepers buy them depending on the phone’s condition. There is a market here for used phones and it is pretty big. Used phones are checked for glitches and undergo servicing before being sold again. Prices depend on brand and condition of the phone.
Our Tips…
• Visit the market anytime between 10 AM and 9 PM from Monday to Saturday. The market is closed on Sundays and public holidays.
• Parking is a big hassle especially for cars. So better to go by autorickshaw. Otherwise you will have to park near Little Flower School and walk down. Beware of signs for one ways as they get changed often.
• Look for "box pieces" (new phones) and get the seal broken in front of you just to be sure of the quality. Ask for a warranty stamp and repair details.
• For repairs, look for authorised service centres (Sony and Nokia have authorised service centres there). Other places are cheaper but are best avoided unless they are known. Phone cloning, defective parts and overcharging are rampant here so discretion is advised.
• Ask around at different stores for the best price (it helps) and bargaining is encouraged. Vakil’s offers some good deals and so does Shubham.
• Do stick to known brands like Sony, Samsung, Nokia, Sagem, Siemens and Motorola. Chinese phones are feature loaded and cheap but have very limited warranty and might not last for more than a year.
• This is one of the best places to get your mobile loaded with the latest songs, video clips and handy software. Try and get this included in your purchase price.
• Be careful with your current phone as this is also one of the biggest markets for second hand and stolen phones. Do not be disappointed with low prices you get for your phone in exchange. Trends change too quickly to get more than half the value.
