Question: My phone’s a NON-smart LG from AT&T, and I didn’t know it needed a memory card before I took a bunch of photos, so I’m forced to e-mail them to myself one at a time. Most of them go ok, but for some I get an “unable to send” message. If I wait until I’m sending the next batch, the problem ones seem to go through. Any idea why?
You can still transfer pictures from your cell phone to your computer if the screen is broken, with a USB data cable and driver software to handle the transfer.

Question: I recently purchased a Samsung Blackjack II. I have had it less than a week…there is so much dust that has accumulated under the screen and it is driving me crazy. I carry it in a leather case all the time. Is there a safe way to clean the screen and once I do, how can I prevent this from happening!! I have never had this problem with other cell phones I have owned. Thanks so much!!
I’m wondering if I could hook up my sprint phone to my fax machine, so I can send faxes. I don’t want a home phone line.
Sprint caps their 3G data plans at 2 GB a month, but 4G connectivity is unlimited and way faster too. The trick is to ensure that you’re only connecting to the 4G network, which is one of the settings that can be easily configured on the Sprint Overdrive.
Some people might think there’s a catch when they see an offer for a free cell phone, but it’s really just a matter of knowing one key piece of information: Wireless providers such as T-Mobile and Verizon make the vast majority of their money on monthly service rates – not on the phones they sell.
For example, if you pay $59.99 a month for a basic calling plan with T-Mobile, that adds up to about $720 a year (far more than the one-time price of a new phone)! Compare that to a new cell phone priced at around $200 and it’s easy to see where they make their money – monthly subscriptions… not phone sales.
Can you see now why they’re so willing to hand out free phones?
When considering where to look for free cell phone offers, you can go directly to a wireless service provider or look for an authorized wireless reseller.
Wireless service providers like T-Mobile make a lot more money from your monthly subscription than from the sale of a phone – so much so that they’re always running promotional sales on brand new phones, complete with free shipping.
You get to choose the monthly plan that works best for you, and you can carry over your current phone number from another wireless provider.
Question: How do I unfreeze my Sony Xperia Z1 phone? I’ve tried turning it off but nothing happens. I’ve tried taking the sim card out but that didn’t help either.
