The tech giant has made 21 April 2015 a strict deadline for all sites on the internet to improve their sites to mobile friendly templates. This move has been influenced by the findings that have proved that more than 80% of internet users access the internet via smartphones which has made mobile compatibility as one of the most important factors to be taken into consideration on a site, if you are are using Blogger and Wordpress you are have access to different mobile templates and themes.

How to save on cellphone costs

Having a smartphone is best itself but data costs are weight too expensive, because they are weigh too expensive but luckily internet based companies are motivated to help you connect for very less.
                                  
                                     5 basic saving tips for your cellphone

 

 

• Be smart with your apps

Apps like facebook can be a problem sense they are connected to update , but it is costly to run unless you have an alternative way to get connected to your facebook account or you can schedule by switch your mobile data off when you are not using your phone.
Make use of bookmarks which will save your data as they reduce your browsing and if it happens that you are not happy with the app version on google play then you really dont need to worry but you can get the direct download from Apk4fun which is a good website to get latest and previous versions of the app that you want to download and whats great is that you can install the app at your own time.

• Make use of a mobile friendly browser.

The type of browser that you use can have a great influence to your data costs , your built in android browser is very costy and I wont advise anybody to use it unless they use it under wifi .
The mobile browsers that I would recommend for our readers are opera-mini and UC-browser , using these browsers can save you a lot of data and they are optimised to load faster and best part of is that they are mobile friendly

• Use free public wifi

Public wifi is the best way to save because downloading apps will not cost you a thing, yea not thing and I would recommend that you buy wifi if you dont have one or contact your service provider to find out if they offer any internet services.

• Set your phone to update over wifi only

Automatic updates on android, iphone and kindle divices can be much of a cost and you can lose upto $20+ USD per day and that is why  I plead with you that you make it that your phones automatic updates are either off or setted to wifi only and I promise you that you wont have to worry about losing money on updates no more.

• Avoid online games

Online games are the most costy gadgets on your smartphones , better that you get offline versions instead.
