The Not So Free Cell Phone
We have all seen the advertisements the shout out FREE CELL PHONES! Well a famous
economist once said that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Now I will tell you that there
is no such thing as a free cell phone. Yes you heard right, cell phones are not really free. In
fact, companies use the term 'free' to persuade customers to sign long-term contracts for
cell phone service. Is the phone really free if there is a catch? NO, you just end up paying
for it over the term of the service contract that you are required to sign.
Another reason that reduces the value of the 'free cell phone' is the fact that many of the
'free' cell phones are usually the older models that the service provider could not sell. You
will notice this one you get the cell phone and find out that it is a less than desirable phone.
Nevertheless once the contract is signed, you are stuck with the cell phone you received. If
there is a need to purchase a replacement phone, it is usually going to cost.
Many cell phone users have found themselves in a contract they cannot wait to end.
However, most contracts are designed to serve for two-year period. It seems that these
contracts are so lengthy and filled with fine print that it would take a team of legal advisors
just to cut through it all and offer a down-to-earth translation of the terms. All of the fine
print, the clauses, extra fees, and anything else that benefits the big businesses and leaves
the consumer out in the cold are there in the fine print. If you want to end the contract early,
be prepared to pay a steep early termination fee. You can be sure that an early termination
fee of up to $300 is included somewhere in the fine print in the contract.
Another problem with the contracts is that whenever you end one contract and wish to
continue your service, the service contract needs to be upgraded because the service
provider probably will no longer offer the lower priced services that you originally signed-up
for two years ago. Upgrading a contract can lead to more airtime, text messages,
multimedia text messages, internet usage, etc., all of which you may or may not use but will
still have to pay for. In addition, as the phones progress and new functions are added to the
devices, the need for new plans and contracts consequentially follows. Although, these
functions are fun, they are ultimately costing you more and more money. If you have ever
added up all of your cell phone bills for the year, many will find that it can make you think
twice about what you really need and what you should have done.
So keep on mind that although cell phones are advertised for free almost everywhere you
look, the fact is that cell phones are far from being truly free. The reality is that you are just
paying for the free cell phone over the mandatory two-year service contract period.

The Only Question With The GPS Child Locator Is Where To Wear It.
So I was watching the local news the other day, and it revealed an Amber alert. Apparently
a 4 year old child was abducted inside a shopping mall. Police did not know the
whereabouts of the child just yet, and they hadn't a clue who snatched him. This IS without
a doubt a parent's most awful nightmare come true. I couldn't help but wonder where the
child was and if the parent was watching him closely. When I'm out in public areas I spot so
many nonchalant parents who're barely keeping an eye on their tiny children.
It irks me to death, but what are you going to do about it? It's essentially up to the parents
and the parents alone to do their job right. It only takes a second for a kid to be abducted.
Now, on the bright side, there are certain measures you can take to ensure this will NOT
happen to your child. Ever heard of a gps child locator? They're new on the market and
offer a wonderful safety feature.
I'll bet you've seen a few children out in public wearing leashes. This is fairly common now
days. It's a simply yet effective way to keep toddlers at you side in public places. Sure, they
can prance about on their own, but they're restricted from actually going anywhere. The
leash is only a few feet long and ensures that the child stays close by. It's much safer than
letting your 2 or 3 year old run about on their own. Then there is the baby alarm. This is a
simply gadget that attaches to their clothing. You keep the receiver so that you can press
the alarm button at any time. This will cause the device on child to sound, and you can
pinpoint their location. Pretty nifty indeed.
Now, the new-age child safety devices have been taken to a whole new level with gps child
locator watches. This handy device simply straps onto your child like a wrist watch, and
then you can proceed to monitor their whereabouts with your personal computer. Now that
is SWEET! It's similar to a vehicle tracking device. So basically if your child was abducted,
the police could instantly pinpoint the child's location. This would make retrieval much more
likely.
My only question with the gps child locator is where to wear it. Should the child wear the
gps child locator on his/her wrist, like a regular watch? Or, should it be worn under clothing
somehow, so that an abductor could not spot it and remove the device? Just some food for
thought.
