One of the great benefits of technological advancements is that many of them can help us save money and, in some cases, make the things that we used to spend money on entirely obsolete. In this article, you will be introduced to three things you should never pay for as smartphones have made them completely unnecessary.

Smartphones have made long distance calls obsolete.

Use Skype, FaceTime or Whatsapp for long distance calls.

1. Long Distance Phone Calls

Using your landline or your mobile phone to make expensive long distance phone calls is not only a waste of money but has also become absolutely unnecessary. You can now choose between Skype, FaceTime, or Whatsapp Calls, which you can all use for free. All you need is to be connected to a stable Wi-Fi network. Then you can talk with your family, friends and loved ones abroad for hours and hours without having to pay a single cent.

2. Landline Telephones

On the subject of saving money when making telephone phone calls, we also need to mention landline telephones. If you have a mobile phone there is really no need for you to also have a landline in your home. A few years ago, you still need a landline if you wanted to have Internet access at home but now that you can buy Wi-Fi cubes, even that use for a landline has become obsolete. Hence, if you still have a landline, you should strongly consider getting rid of it to save money.

3. Newspapers

If you want to stay informed about what’s going on in Australia and the rest of the world simply open up your smartphone and read the news online. Alternatively, you can download the apps of your favourite news media outlets on your phone or use social media to follow current events. Buying a newspaper is not only a waste of money as you can read all the same news online, but you will also only ever read yesterday’s news in print media while online you can stay informed about what is happening as it happens.

Thanks to smartphones we can save money on things we previously had to spend money on. These new found savings can now be used to pay off debt or to invest.
