Momail for the budget-conscience

With the uncertain market environment, consumers are beginning to rein back spending on utilities, where possible, including mobile phone plans. In addition, they are postponing new purchases, and handset manufacturers are cutting their outlooks for 2009. However, it's not all bad news, as it is still possible to take advantage of new developments in mobile technology while saving money.

First, check with your mobile company about possible flat rate data plans. Most operators offer them, but you need to do a little research to find the plan best for you.

Second, "upgrade" your handset to have smartphone-like features with services like Momail. Momail is smart mobile email for consumers - free to use, minimizes the data cost of incoming data, and works on the large majority of handsets in the market today.

Third, leverage other cost-saving measures, like calling with services such Jajah which leverage VoIP to minimized long distance bills. It's super easy to use with Momail as well - just go to "On Demand" services in your Momail account to sign up.
