Social networking, reading news,
uploading pictures or just managing your routine affairs, you smartphone
is not only consuming your time and battery, but your money as well.
So here are 5 apps that will help you save money while taking care of routine work on your smartphone.
Skype:
Making calls costs money, making video
calls, even more. If you are someone who needs to talk over the phone a
lot, then Skype on your smartphone is one of the best options to reduce
call cost. The app works over Wi-Fi as well as 3G networks. So what’s
unique? Well, users can make free Skype-to-Skype video calls, and call
phones at Skype rates on the move. Users can also make free voice and
video calls to anyone else on Skype, whether they’re on an Android,
iPhone, Mac or PC, as well as IMs to your friends and family.

WhatsApp Messenger
If you are an SMS junkie, then there is
no reason for you not to look at this app. WhatsApp Messenger is a
smartphone messenger available for all operating systems including
Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, Windows Phone and Nokia phones. WhatsApp
uses 3G connectivity or WiFi (when available) to message friends and
family. The app lets you send and receive messages, pictures, audio
notes, and video messages. The app is free for the first year that you
download it but after that you need to pay $0.99 (Rs. 53) per annum. The
app however is not free for iOS users.

3G Data Monitoring
If you are someone who needs to be
connected to the Internet all the time on the go, then you need an app
that will monitor you 3G data consumption. We have seen instances where
people have gotten hefty bills for their data usage. Not a pretty site!
Hence, we present to you data monitoring apps. These apps monitor your
data consumptions and warn you when you are about reach or cross your
limit. You can also restrict the use of data on your device with these
apps. There are many apps in this field but we are going to recommend
one app per platform for you to check out!

Tax Calculator
There are two things certain in life –
death and taxes, the former may be unavoidable but we can certainly
monitor the amount of tax we pay and do our best to reduce the amount of
money that flows from our hands to the government. One disadvantage is
that a lot of people are unclear about the taxable amount and the
calculation methods. Luckily, there is an app for that. The taxation
apps help users determine their tax liability and well, once you know
how much tax you are going to pay, you may as well find a nice CA to
save you!
