Don’t you hate it when your cellphone bill arrives and you see exorbitantly high charges? And the worse fact is that the charges usually add up because of the tactics that mobile carriers employ to keep you longer on the line?

Many people use their cellphones without really knowing the different features of their units and their carriers which they can use to be able to avoid the added expenses. Here are some of the keystroke tips that can save you money on your cellphone bill!

-To check the balance of your anytime minutes

Knowing how many anytime minutes you have will definitely help you to be able to save up on your cellphone bill. It’s like knowing how much money you have left. So to be able to do this, please press the following:

Verizon: dial #646
T-Mobile: dial #646#
Cingular: dial *646#
Sprint: *4

-When recording a voice message

A big chunk of the time spend in recording a voice message goes to the playback of the recorded message of the recipient and the playback of the digital lady, which can extend to a good 20 seconds. To avoid this, please press:

Verizon or Cingular: press *
Sprint: press 1
T-Mobile: press #

These tips are to be unveiled in an episode of a program that will be running starting on February 2007 in Discovery Times and Discovery HD. The show is currently entitled “It’s All Geek to Me.” For those people who do not have cable, the show will be releasing free excerpts of each of the episodes through the Internet.
