Shopaholic? Me?

It is amazing what phones can do today. The latest models of phones are Android phones that are almost mini computers. Well I guess they technically are computers just scaled down versions of modern laptops. I took my hubby’s hand me down as he wanted the latest Android phone and I “pimped” my phone. Considering I have a hand me down, these are some of the features on my phone:-

• Phone (duh!)
• Camera
• Barcode scanner
• Recipe collection
• Games
• Educational stuff
• Web Browsing
• Calendar
• Calculator
• Timer
• Twitter
• TV Remote control (honest)
• GPS
• Calorie Counter
• Camcorder
• Email
• Photo-shop
• Planet & Stars Recognition
• etc

And this is what I am aware of. Do I recommend. Without a doubt. My phone is a Google HTC and its pink (covered)!

I saw the phone that I would like to buy, now that I decided to withhold my spending for a while. Yes, I am trying to be prudent in this economic crisis. I must say that the shops are making it so hard with all the promotions available. Anyway, I digress, I love the new Ericsson phone with a 12 Megapixel camera but I cannot get one just yet here in the Isle of Man. Not that it matters so much, because it does not depend on the phone but on the cell towers to reflect on the reception (and unless you live very centrally in IOM)… so for now I guess Iwill wait. You never know… maybe Santa drops me one in my stocking!!!

They ship free to the US but there are charges for Canadian orders. They also accept Paypal as a method of payment.

Last but not least, you can get a free gift with your purchase when you spend over $30 US Dollars. This is a neck strap for your phone. This is worth $8.99 and if you want more or just that, you can purchase it separately.

Pingo is well known in the USA for discount International calling cards online. However they are not just for people living in America, you can buy them from anywhere and use them anywhere.

And if that is not enough, here is a father’s day gift to you for an extra $5 dollars of free calls. Enter “calldadnow” when signing up. You must top up with $25 dollars though to get the extra $5 dollars. This is besides the usual $5 for signing up. In other words with this promotion you get $10 worth of calls free.

Comet does electricals. To quote their logo, they “live electricals”!

They really do have great prices on most electricals, and sell all electricals including:-

• Washing Machines
• Fridge Freezers
• Dishwashers
• Cookers
• Vacuum Cleaners
• LCD’s & Plasma TV’s
• DVD’s & Hard Drives
• Play Stations / PS3
• Home Cinemas
• Hi-Fi’s
• Laptops, PC’s, PDA’s & Computers
• Printers
• MP3’s & iPods
• Camcorders
• Digital Cameras
• GPS Navigation

They do have guarantees like on delivery. If you do not get it when they say they will deliver it, you get your delivery fee back.

With deliveries, they will deliver to a room of your choice. They will unpack it for you and take away the packaging for recycling. They will also take away certain old appliances like your old TV and Fridge subject to their being the same size or smaller than the one you are purchasing for a nominal non profit fee charge.

Delivery starts from Free. You will need to see if you qualify.

They also offer a click and collect service, where you can order online and collect in store and pay there an hour later.

Last but not least, they have Comet Auctions which they use for clearance on end of lines. You can bag yourself a bargain. However make sure you know the price of the item you are bidding on. I have seen a couple of auctions sell for more than if they walked in store or bought straight from the website. The point of the auction is to get a good deal.

Everyone has heard of Woolworths or commonly known as Woolies!
 

Woolworths have recently released their Big Red Book. This is a catalogue of over 1000 products. You can order these in store or online. You do not actually need the book as everything is listed online and the online prices are more up to date including sale prices etc.

Generally Woolworths have great prices on all their products.

There is a delivery price per order for all orders, including those placed in store. So you might as well place the order online and have them delivered direct to your door.

I must say I do highly recommend them. Their prices are low and quality good. And if you get their offers, you are on to a winner.

They do everything including:-

• Party Goods
• Stationery
• Children’s Clothes
• TV’s
• PC’s
• CD’s
• DVD’s
• Games including board games
• Toys
• BBQ & Picnic Items
• Chocolates
• Housewares
• Mobiles
• Baby Goods
• Gift Items & Wrapping
• and tons more!

Phones 4 U are a UK company which specialise in phones and contracts. Most of the phones they offer are linked to telecom suppliers though I suspect you can also purchase a phone without a supplier.

They obviously sell contract as well as PAYG – pay as you go phones.

The good thing about going to a dealer means that you can chose the better deal for you. Some deals might be better on the free minutes, others might be better on the price. Some can be better on the Free Texts whilst others might have a better roaming service. With all the competition going on, you are sure to find something to suit you.

Their tag line is that they have the phone for you, and that might actually be true. They might also have the right contract for you too!

Just remember that if a deal is too good to be true it probably is. Do read all the small print. The contract may tie you in for a period of time also. Most contract deals are for a year but some can be up to 2 years. This is not good if you keep changing contracts to keep up to date with the latest phones. Phones are released more frequently than every 2 years. A phone is out dated within a few months, can you imagine have the same phone with all its nicks for more than 1 year? Do make sure that you are ready to be tied in with a contract if you chose a contract type deal as they can be quite expensive to abandon!

Have a look. At the very least you are aware of what current deals and offers are available. You never know, you just might find the phone 4 U!

    
 

Vodafone is one of the leading mobile phone providers world wide. Though I am sure they do not need much introduction.

You can buy Phones, Accessories, SIM Cards and Contract Deals direct from Vodafone, which in turn means you get a better deal.

With a contract deal, you can get yourself one of the latest phones for Free, Free Texts and even Free Minutes.

They also offer other services such as Vodafone Passport, Saving your contacts online, Chat & Email, Roaming, Vodafone m-pay, messaging and voicemail.

What you probably have not yet heard of is Vodafone at Home. This service offers you Broadband and Land Line Calls & Services. It gives you up to 8MB surf speed with NO download limits and Free Land Line calls. All for just £25.00 a month. A great price for such a fast broadband speed with no download limit and free landline calls. There are a few terms and conditions such as it costing more if you do not have a Vodafone mobile but that is always the case, so you do need to read the t&c’s but overall we think it is a good offer.
