    Although excessive texting could rack up charges it is much cheaper than a data connection. It is also a great way of communicating with friends without the much-needed WiFi connection
    • A good idea would be to get an unlimited texting plan so you don't have to worry about charges. However, its only worth it if you text a lot.
  2. How.com.vn English: Step 2 Call someone.
    This was the use cell phones were intended for in first place. Sadly nobody uses this method consistently nowadays because of the social networking available. Being without WiFi for a period of time will allow you to try out the original method of cell phone communication.
    • Watch your minutes to avoid huge phone bills.
    • Depending on your plan, if you are really low on credit, you can ask your friends to phone you. Not all cell phone plans work this way, but some only charge you for minutes if you make the call, not if you receive it.
