Topher's "Incredibly Useful Information"

Find Ringtones, Accessories and Android Apps You are interested in getting a new phone or a new phone plan. Who has the best plan or phone to fit your needs? Thankfully there are a few good websites that can help you answer this question. Once you get your phone, you'll soon find you want personalized ringtones, maybe some additional accessories like a car charger or bluetooth headset (or speakerphone), and if you bought a smartphone you'll want some great free apps. We can help you find those too! You want to get in touch with customer service? We've got your number! |
| Sites Which Help You Find The Best Cellular Phone Plan |
| These sites also have competitive pricing on new phones. (You don't have to buy the phone through your carrier. It's easy to activate any new phone and even keep your current phone number). Amazon, Costco and Best Buy are also good sources for new phone deals. eBay is a great source if you want to replace your old phone with the same model. |

| Our Favorite Bluetooth Speakerphone |
 | There are several good bluetooth earpieces on the market, but if you prefer not to "stick it in your ear", there is currently only one great answer for a car speakerphone: the Jabra Freeway. The unit is pleasantly small and securely attaches to your visor. |
| Activate the bluetooth connection on your phone and you're good to go. It offers up to 14 hours of talk time and 40 days of standby time with a built-in motion sensor. Use your voice to make, answer, end, redial and reject calls. It has a built-in FM Transmitter to send music and calls from your mobile phone to your car radio (but I use the built in speakers for my calls). I upgraded the free firmware quickly and easily from Jabra's website. I found this to be a great hands-free solution for me and used it until I bought a car with built-in bluetooth. Jabra's Freeway Bluetooth Speakerphone can be bought online from Amazon for under $75. | |
| Our Favorite Free Android Apps |
| You can find most of these apps in Google Play Apps, and Amazon. Amazon also offers a "Free App of the Day" every day. (I've gotten some great $1 to $4 apps for free this way, but you have to expect most of the free apps are kids games, so check back daily). |
