Is Data Service Required to Use Cell Phone Wi-Fi?

Cell phone data service is not necessary to use cell phone Wi-Fi. As long as a phone has a Wi-Fi radio and there is a network within range, access to network services is available without using the cell phone data service.

Features

Cell phones with Wi-Fi radios can take advantage of the faster data connections offered by Wi-Fi networks, while still having all of their applications housed in a portable cell phone.

 

Benefits In addition to faster data transfers, a cell phone's Wi-Fi connection also saves you money. Rather than paying per megabyte of data use or adding a costly data plan to your contract, a Wi-Fi connection offers data features for free, wherever there is Wi-Fi.
 

Identification You can identify if your phone has Wi-Fi by opening the settings menu and checking for an option to activate Wi-Fi services.
 

Potential The high speeds offered by Wi-Fi connections allow a phone to download software updates quickly, and the speeds even support the use of services such as Skype, which offers voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) phone service.

What Is the Best Cell Phone Plan?

Depending on where you are located, there are several options to choose from when it comes to selecting a cell phone provider and plan. The best cell phone plan for you will depend on a variety of factors including your budget, desired features and coverage needs. There are three basic types of cell phone plans to choose from.

Post-Paid Plans

The most popular type of cell phone plan is the post-paid plan, where you choose a plan with a pre-determined amount of minutes and extra services at a set price which is paid after the services are used each month. All of the major cell phone providers offer post-paid plans, which includes Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, and AT&T Wireless. The coverage area for all of these carrier covers a wide portion of the United States, which should make the coverage area not much of an issue for most customers.


The monthly costs of the various plans available can vary in price greatly, as most plans with 300 to 500 minutes average around $40 per month while plans with unlimited minutes can exceed $100 monthly. This type of cell phone plan offers the greatest value in terms of per-minute cost, and is a great choice if you are looking for additional features. Post-paid plans offer the most options, with all of the major carriers offering text messaging, multimedia messaging, mobile internet. A music download service and mobile TV is offered from Verizon.

What Is a Cell Phone Data Plan?

A cell phone data plan is part of a cell phone service provider's monthly plans offered to those who have an Internet-ready cell phone.

Many smart phones are able to access the latest high-speed networks offered by companies, such as Verizon Wireless. The data plan is determined by the service provider and allows the user to access the Internet and web browsing without Wi-Fi access.


Most data plans cost around $30 U.S. a month, in addition to standard rate plans and fees for calls and text messages. The plan also usually limits the user to a certain amount of bandwidth or upload/download rates per month.

If you have a smartphone, these plans can be good if you plan on accessing email and the Internet on a daily basis from your phone. Examples of phones that are designed for data plans include the iPhone and the Blackberry.


How to Transfer Data From One Wireless Phone to Another?


You can transfer data from one phone to another in various ways.

Thanks to technological advancements, cell phones today allow you to store large amounts of important information. When you want to get a new phone or give data to another cell phone user, you'll need to transfer the data. Your options for doing so depend on what cell phone you have and which carrier provides your service.

Instructions 1.
Take both phones to a branch store of your cell phone carrier. Often they can "flash" the data from one phone to another. This is a common request, and they will know exactly what you need.
 
2. Check whether both phones have removable media cards. If so, you can move the data from the first phone to the media card, and then simply put the card in the second phone to access the data. If the media cards are of a different format, you may be able to buy a card reader for your computer, move the data from the first phone to the computer, then move it to the media card for the second phone.

 
3. Check any CDs that came with the phones. These often contain a utility with instructions that allow you to transfer the phone's data to a computer and then to another phone.

How to extend your smartphone’s battery life

No matter what type of smartphone you have, the device can serve as your MP3 player, digital camera, gaming system, and even your TV while you're out and about — as long as you have battery power. If it seems like smarter phones are getting less life out of their batteries... you're absolutely right. Smartphones can help you get a lot done while traveling, but if you're doing a lot on one in a day, you're apt to see your screen go dark long before the sun goes down.

Watching out for a few small things during your day, however, can help extend battery life on your trusty device and make sure you've got enough juice to make it all day and well into the night.

Mixed signals

It takes extra juice for your smartphone to search for a data connection. If you're somewhere where you won't get a signal, like an airplane or subway, putting your phone in airplane mode or turning it off altogether will prevent it from draining your battery. Turning your phone on does require a bit of extra power, so it's best to save shutting it off for times when you plan to leave it off for a while, rather than something like a 20-minute subway ride to work in the morning. Thinking of it as car mode or subway mode instead of airplane mode might just be the mental trick you need!
