The Nokia Lumia 635 is the Windows Phone follow-up to the Nokia Lumia 630. There s not a huge amount of difference between the two – the 635 is 4G and comes with a glossy plastic body rather than a matt one. That s about it. Since it first launched the Nokia 635 has dropped significantly in price. In fact you can now get it for just £60. That s dead cheap for a 4G phone and could be a great option for someone needing fast internet on the go, but doesn t have the budget to shell out on a more expensive handset. At this price it s hard not to recommend the Lumia 635, although…
A long time ago in a state far, far away (Massachusetts), I used AT&T as my cellphone service provider. I had been using them since I was 19. When the iPhone first came out, I bought it because I could remove the original AT&T SIM card, insert a local SIM from the country I was in, and still have a handy-dandy smartphone to tweet from. So I unlocked my phone (hacked it so I could use it overseas) and off around the world I happily went. Flash forward to the end of 2012, when Verizon announced taht their phones would come automatically unlocked for international…

Forty-one years ago, Martin Cooper, an engineer for Motorola, had an audacious idea: He wanted people to be able to carry their phones with them anywhere. Sure enough, in April 1973, Cooper—who’s now credited as the “father of the cell phone”— became the first individual to make a call on a portable mobile device. The phone weighed more than two pounds, and it took 10 hours to charge it for a mere 35 minutes of conversation. It was a far cry from today s sleek handheld devices—and with its $3, 995 price tag, it was hard to imagine it ever becoming a crucial tool in everyday…
If your phone number is one of the more than 217 million numbers on the Do Not Call Registry, you’ve taken action to stop most unwanted sales calls. The law allows political calls, calls from charitable organizations, informational calls, calls about debts you owe, and phone surveys, as well as calls from companies you’ve done business with or gave permission to call. If you get an unwanted sales call or a robocall—a recorded message that’s pitching a product or service— it’s probably a scam. The unscrupulous businesses behind these calls use autodialers to make thousands of…

At around the £400 mark, you’ll find phones with a good screen, long battery life and a decent camera. They may not have extra…
