Mobile phones can be one of the most critical tool these days. An absence of this tool renders someone, specially a freelancers with some notable inconveniences. But alongside this, the more concerning factor is the price you have to pay for using one. And thus there are many individual who have decided to stop using this mobile phone technology or even if, using it in a very moderate way.
This article will shed some light on how to minimize the use of cell phones and still function properly regarding the freelance business you are dealing with.
Know Your Job
If your are spending most of the time on your business outside of your home, then the use of cell phone justifies its cause. If you are a home based freelancer, then connecting with a Land-Line is much cost efficient and hazard-free.
Strike a PrePaid
Even you are working from home, you may decide to have a mobile phone. In fact, just get the cheapest model and arrange a PrePaid contract. There are plenty of prepaid packages in the market. Back to 10 years ago, my first-ever prepaid contract cost me RM128. Now, you just pay as cheap as RM6 to get a very good package.
Don’t Give Your Mobile Number to Your Clients
Let the client contact you through your Land-phone or through email. And if you are expecting some important call from them, you’ll be near your Land-phone, otherwise it is not that important at the first place. Don’t forget to divert the land-phone call to your cell. Don’t also print your cell phone number in your business card.
Don’t Use the Cell Phone While Driving
This is actually is more of a common sense than anything, you should not use cell phone while you are driving. As it diverts your attention from the road and thus end up throwing you into complicated quagmires. Also, in many cities around the world, if law-enforcement officers see you in that position, they may fine you a decent amount. End up, you are working for the fine but not money.
Always Remind Yourself As a Freelancer
The reason you quit your 9-5 job is to enjoy flexible lifestyle. Don’t let your client disturbs you when you’re off playing football.
These were few of the ways that you can adopt to keep your cell phone cost in a lower minimum or decide to disband the need to use cell phones at all.
