Your mobile phone can save you money
When you think about your phone and money in the same sentence, chances are you think about it as a great big black hole, sucking up so much of your wages each month. If you have a contract for your mobile, it can cost you a large amount of money whenever your bill goes out; generally a minimum of £15 of month is the norm; but if you use your phone a lot, especially for business use, it can end up costing you hundreds of pounds from every pay cheque. Likewise, if you are on pay as you go, you will be acutely aware of how much your phone is costing you each and every time you top it up, and if you are not careful, that can cost you a lot of money again. If this is the case, it is worth taking a look around for a contract, since if you are consistently using large amounts of money, you could be getting the same amount of service for a lot less. Pay as you go phones generally do not have a minimum contract length, so you could switch straight away if you find a contract that is right for you.
One thing you probably will not think about is how much money your phone could be saving you, especially when it comes to making purchases of goods or services. As mentioned before, you could be paying less for your service, but did you know that your phone could help you in paying less for other things as well? There are many ways in which this is the case, such as paying for parking over the phone with your credit card, instead of carrying loose change around just in case.
The largest amount of savings you can make using your mobile comes courtesy of discount companies, which in many cases take the form of online discount sites. You can visit these websites using your smart phone, but some of them are now coming directly to you via Bluetooth. While you are out and about shopping on the high street, some services will send deals and discounts directly to your phone, which you can use in shops by displaying your screen to the cashier at the point of sale. These services are only just beginning to gain a mainstream appeal, being installed in shopping malls and on high streets instead of just specialist venues, so if you ensure you have your mobile with you when you are shopping, you could be in for some surprise savings.
Services like Jungle Drum send discount codes directly to your phone while you shop, which could save you a lot of money.
