What do you use your cell phone for? I am guessing that the answer is pretty simple: to make and receive calls, exchange messages, chat and surf the web, right?
Well, that is what majority of the cell phone users around the globe do, but are you going to stick to the rut and follow everyone else? What ever happened to the little spark inside of you? Yeah, the little spark called creativity? Okay, let me set the trend and suggest five unique ways to use your cell phone for things other than those listed above:
Manage your time and life better
Your cell phone has a great scheduler and alarm system as well. Use cell phone apps to keep you on track. If you are the type that wastes lot of time throughout the day and then sits lamenting about work not getting done, then you definitely need the scheduler in your life.
If you are an iPhone user, you have your life made easier for you with the several time management apps that are available. There are so many apps that will remind you about important agendas, keep you on schedule, and perform tasks like a personal assistant would.
Get the right directions
Now you do not have to worry your brains out about losing your way when you are visiting a new place or are in unfamiliar locations. You have many handy options like Google Maps, Google Mobile Website etc, which will save your day/night (whatever applies in your case) when you need directions. Use your cell phone as a hands-on GPS and you will never feel lost.
Create some brilliant videos
What better way to show your creativity and share your ideas and thoughts or feelings with your loved ones/with your business partners? You can use cell phone video apps to create high quality videos on the go. Use these videos intelligently when you want to share important information/ideas with your clients/business partners. Or use them as a part of your project or maybe just create an interesting podcast.
Connect to the local library
Now you really cannot present any such excuse that you had no time to visit your local library for sourcing information for your school/college project. All you got to do is connect to your local library via their mobile site and start reading the books, sitting at home or anywhere else. You have the entire library at your mobile clicks.
Do financial transactions
If you have a PayPal account, you can be rest assured that you can send or receive money via your cell phone even of you are in the middle of nowhere (provided you have an internet connection). The PayPal Mobile app helps you to exchange money via your PayPal account, with the simple use of text messages.
How easy is that? And you thought that all you could do with your cell phone was to make and receive calls? Next time you pick up your cell phone, try to use some of these tips to expand the usefulness of your cell phone.
