Money saving tips for Sweden

TheLocal, the online english language news site for Sweden, released a helpful list of money saving tips during these economic downtimes. They mentioned some great ideas such as streaming music sites, like Spotify, VoIP services like Skype, biking and keeping on top of deals from grocery stores, movie theaters, and travel sites.

The missed a few though!

Some additional ideas specifically for mobile users are below:

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.

iPhone users love Momail

Over the last 6 months, iPhone users have signed up for Momail at a much higher rate than for other handsets. As the feedback on the native iPhone mail client has been positive, this sign-up rate has surprised us at Momail - so we'd love your feedback as to why you - as Momail on iPhone users - prefer Momail over the native application.

Thus far, feedback we have received from iPhone users on why they prefer Momail include:

- better access to Hotmail on iPhones
- minimized data usage
- overall ease of use

Do you have additional suggestions? We look forward to your feedback! Leave a comment, or email us at support@momail.com.

(other top phones of Momail in Europe users include the Nokia N95, N73, 5200 and 6300, the SonyEricsson K800i, K750i, W200i, K550i, and the Samsung E250).
