If you’ve been wondering how your SIM card works (or don’t really understand what a SIM card is in the first place), worry no longer! 

Your iPhone is a miraculous, versatile device, but there's no denying that it eats through your monthly data allowance very quickly. Unfortunately, if your iPhone uses too much cellular data, you could face seriously high fees at the end of the month.

You have a phone carrier and data plan, but you aren’t happy. Maybe your current plan is too expensive or too restrictive in terms of your data allowance, your call quality, or something else entirely. 

It’s that time of year when we all think about our families a little extra. Whether for you that’s a source of joy, stress, or both, likely depends on the day — but one thing that’s often more stressful than it needs to be is shopping for a family plan that suits the needs of everyone in your fam. Surely there’s an easier way. 

It’s no secret that the cost of higher education is extremely prohibitive. College costs rival (and sometimes even surpass) other enormous life costs, like buying a home. Tuition costs have skyrocketed over the past 20 years, and they continue to climb year over year. For many, financial assistance is the only avenue to reaching higher education. 

The amount you’ll pay for a new iPhone depends almost entirely upon where you purchase it. iPhones, and most other smartphones for that matter, are available for purchase directly from the major cellular carriers. Usually, you need to purchase a plan from that carrier in order to get whatever phone deal they’re currently running. 

When you start to shop for a new phone, you’ll immediately be presented with a major question: locked or unlocked?

Are you looking for a new phone plan? Or are you trying to purchase a new phone on a marketplace with competitive prices? 

Your phone is one-of-a-kind. With all your settings and personal data, it is as unique as your fingerprint (which your phone knows as well). 

When you punch in a phone number for the first time, you need to use the number’s area code before entering the rest of the sequence. Area codes provide important numerical information that phone companies use to direct calls and ensure messages get to where they are supposed to go.
