Find Cell Phone Plans for the Individual, Family, or Business

Finding cell phone plans specifically tailored to meet your needs may seem impossible, but it probably isn't. And luckily, finding cell phone plans you can afford may not be as impossible as it seems, either.

Over the past decade, cell phones and cell phone plans have become a viable industry, with competition paving the way for cheaper and better cell phones. As more and more people search for an affordable way to meet the mobile needs of their families and businesses, as well as for themselves, there are more companies striving to meet those needs with affordable cell phone plans. Even if it seems that you can't find an existing cell phone plan to meet your needs, there is probably a company out there that can tailor a plan to accommodate you.

Consider the recent addition of family plans. Cell phone plans of a few years ago didn't offer any significant discounts for families with more than one phone. Instead, each phone was assigned an amount of minutes and a cost for that plan. Today, several companies offer family plans in which several family members share minutes. This monthly allotment of available minutes is not assigned to any particular phone on the plan, but is shared by all until the minutes are used up. Each family member gets his or her own telephone with a separate phone number. This provides some important benefits for the family, including overall cost effectiveness of cell phone plans.

Instead of each family member paying the cost of those shared minutes, these family cell phone plans are usually arranged so that one phone is charged for the plan. Additional lines are billed a minimum monthly surcharge - usually a significant savings over the cost of the typical plan. Meanwhile, each family member has his or her own phone - an important freedom and security measure for many teenagers.

Similarly, providers of cell phone plans are creating innovative ways to meet the needs of cellular phone customers who need business accounts. These customers are offered a variety of features and options. Usually, the main objective of business Cell Phone Services is to keep members of the team in touch with the office. However, with today's expanding technology, cell phones can also offer Internet connections, text messaging and voice mail. Cell phone consumers can have breaking news (or the latest sports scores) delivered right to their cell phones. While the sports scores are merely a convenience, latest news might include stock prices, economic information or other information vital to the daily success of the business. Finding cell phone plans that offer everything needed by the business person is also a fairly simple matter, as service providers strive to create cell phone plans to meet every need.

Kogan Agora Played With, Makes Treos Look Silly

Despite its blurry focus and dodgy reflections, this video of the Kogan Agora—following yesterday's requisite in-the-wild fuzzy photos—is an official release. Poor production values aside, the Agora is looking puhhhrreeetyyy good.

Response is snappy, which could be down to the Agora's hardware or the as-of-yet uncertain scalability of Android. The interface seems to work fine on this differently shaped screen, and the hybrid touch/keyboard navigation, partially explored with the G1 but more fully realized here, is a natural fit for the OS.

In fact, this whole form factor looks like it suits Android quite well, so a certain other manufacturer who builds touchscreen/QWERTY phones and is planning a new non-Android OS should probably watch closely, and pray that companies like Kogan don't come out with a less-clunky variant of the Agora. The Agora's formal debutant party is at CES, so look out for more sightings and even a hands-on. [Giz AU]

Seido Increases G1 Battery Life By 15 Percent Without Adding Bulk

The T-Mobile G1's lack of battery life has always been a concern, especially after we learned about its data roaming issues. Seido's new battery combats this problem without the need for a new cover.

The 1400mAh battery adds an additional 400mAh over the OEM version, which should earn you an extra hour or so of talk time. And, as mentioned, it does not take up any additional space, so no replacement battery door is necessary. On the downside, it will set you back $43—which may be a bit more than the casual user is willing to spend. [Seido]

Mobile Spy Can Now Secretly Record Your iPhone SMS, Calling Data

Mobile Spy, that terrible piece of technology that silently monitors smartphones without the user knowing, has come to the iPhone. Goodbye safe haven of SMS and calling privacy, it was nice knowing you.

The app, created by Retina-X Studios, runs in total stealth mode so that users don't know its even on their phones. It silently records all SMS text messages, inbound and outbound call information (including call duration) and uploads them to a private account you specify.

It's been out for a while now on Symbian and WinMo phones, but the iPhone had been left gloriously untouched until now. Not surprising, I suppose, given the device's ever-increasing popularity. Retina-X says its for monitoring your children or employees. I say if you need to monitor them like this, you've got some terrible control and trust issues. [Aving]
