A very good place where you can download free games for your cell phone is the App Store. This Store is recommended to those that have Apple mobile devices, such as iPhones, iPads and iPod Touch gadgets. Other place from where you can download mobile applications is the Android Marketplace, a store from where all those that own Android-based devices can download apps, games and other multimedia files.

In general, games are divided into several categories, being them available on the App Store or on the Android Marketplace. These are: action, arcade, board, casino, dice, educational, puzzle, racing, strategy, sports, adventure, music, role-playing, simulation, word, trivia and many others.

What does a senior person do with a mobile phone? Obviously, he/she doesn't search the Web, nor downloads applications. In general, senior people use their mobile phones for making and receiving phone calls. So if you are 70 or 80, we believe we have just the right plan for you.

After serious research online, we have come up with a short list with options for seniors that want to use their mobile phones in order to converse with their friends or family. Senior people can go for a prepaid plan or a monthly plan.

Prepaid plans are great, especially because there is no contract signed between that person which uses the SIM card and a certain network. Also, there are no credit checks and no activation fees. If you decide to buy a Just5 mobile phone, designed for the elderly, you will receive also a SIM card, that needs activation. You can easily activate your card by calling the support number presented on one of the documents included in the package. A prepaid plan, meaning a SIM card, allows you to speak for a certain number of minutes.

Just 5 offers the following prepaid plans. The first one is the 67 minute plan, which is $10 and works for 30 days. The user pays $0.15 per minute or text. Another plan is the 166 minute plan ($25); this is good for 90 days. The cost of a call is of $0.15 per minute; this is also the price of a text message. The third prepaid plan offers 400 minutes and costs $50. Obviously, it is designed for a longer period (180 days). The cost of a minute of conversation and of a text message is of $0.12 in this case. And for 1000 minutes, one will pay $100 and have the possibility of using that SIM card for an entire year. The cost in this case is of $0.10 per minute or text.

If you decide to go with a monthly plan, you will pay $39.99 per month and have unlimited minutes and text messages. After your plan will be activated, you will have a total balance of $39.99, not of $30 or something like this, like it happens in the case of other companies, which charge you for the activation.

All rate plans include these features: voicemail, three-way calling, nationwide long-distance, call waiting, caller ID, international and domestic SMS, international direct dial and call forwarding.

A product created by yourself offers you more satisfaction than a product bought from a store, so what we will recommend you in this article is to create a customized cell phone skin by yourself, simply by following certain instructions. This way, you can also save some money and buy more foils, as you will see, that can be used for more skins, in case you have more mobile phones or even for your laptop. In fact, the method of creating a cell phone skin is the same with the one of creating a laptop skin, in the example we have prepared for you.

After searching for the best method of creating a beautiful cell phone skin for your mobile, I have selected the method which implies the use of Adobe Photoshop. If you don't have this program, you can also use GIMP, which is basically the same thing, only that free. You need to know the exact dimensions of your mobile phone and for every inch your device has you will use 200 pixels in Photoshop or GIMP. Let's imagine that you have to create a skin for a phone that has 4 x 2.5′. This means your canvas will have 800 x 500 pixels.

Start drawing whatever you want in Photoshop and make sure to design using RGB colors. Also, the dpi should be of at least 150. Your final image should be saved having one of these extensions: jpeg, gif or png. Usually the image created using the computer and which will be used as image for your cell phone skin should be higher than 500 kB. This means that you have a great resolution and a large image.

The good thing when using software programs like Photoshop is that you can actually use images that exist, like for example the photo of your darling or your own picture. You can also take pictures from the Internet, but make sure to have a file size closer to 500 kB, as we have said earlier. Obviously, the image can be scaled down, but this could affect negatively the resolution of the image and if you're doing it for the first time, you can get disappointed by the result. We recommend you to design your own image.

Another way is to scan images that you would like to have on your cell phone skin. Those scanned images can have a file size of 1 MB and even higher, if you want the resolution to be great. In fact, any larger electronic, such as a laptop, Xbox or desktop computer should use images that have around 1 MB.

After designing the image, you have to print it and along with an adhesive and transparent foil, stick the image to your electronic device.

Not everyone has the money to buy a smartphone. At the same time, not everybody desires a mobile phone capable of connecting to the Internet. Those that stay all day long in front of their computers, which are connected to the Internet, usually don't need an extra device connected to this network, for which they also have to pay additional subscriptions.

In one of these categories, we can place the elderly too, among other people. According to a review made on CNET about the most suitable mobile phones that can be bought by the senior demographic population of this planet, the phones that need our attention or the elderly’s attention are: the Doro PhoneEasy 345 and the Doro Phone Easy 410. These are the most popular taking into account the preferences of the senior people, but there are some other models that can be considered: the Motorola WX345, Samsung SPH-M360, Just5 J509 and the PCD CDM8635 mobile phone.

The first phone is manufactured by Doro, a company that produces cellular phones. This is a phone that also uses an FM radio, great for senior people that tend to listen to the radio more than watching TV or browsing the Internet. The technology used by this Doro PhoneEasy 345 mobile phone is GSM and the band is 900/1800/1900. The product comes with 20 polyphonic ring tones and its main features are: call timer, speakerphone, Bluetooth Wireless interface and caller ID.

The phonebook capacity is of 300 names for numbers. The missed calls memory is of 20 numbers and the dialed calls memory, also of 20 numbers. With this product, you can send and receive text messages. It also benefits of an alarm clock and a basic calculator. The display is based on the LCD technology and offers a display resolution of 128 x 96 pixels. The diagonal size of the screen is of 1.8 inches.

The second mobile phone is produced by the same manufacturer and works also as an FM radio, just like the previous model too. The cellular technology is GSM and the band used for functioning is 900/1800/1900. This phone has 20 polyphonic ring tones and uses basically the same features as the previous product, with some improvements here and there. It also uses the call timer and caller ID features, has a speakerphone and a Bluetooth Wireless interface. Its phonebook capacity is of 300 names for numbers and the missed/dialed calls memory of 20 numbers. One of the improvements regards the multimedia messages; with the Doro PhoneEasy 410 you can send and receive besides text messages also multimedia messages. The diagonal size of this mobile phone is of 2 inches, thus the display resolution is better: 176 x 220 pixels.

Elderly people need special devices, like mobile phones or computers, because their senses are not at their maximum capacity, as they were 20 or 30 years ago. And not only this; a person that has never used a computer or a mobile phone in his/her life before will face some difficulties in using a powerful mobile phone, such as a smartphone. So we definitely do not recommend a mobile phone like this to elderly people.

According to some reviews made online, the most popular mobile phones created for senior people as well, not only for young adults and children, are: the Motorola WX345, the Samsung SPH-M360 and the Just5 J509 mobile phone. All of them have large buttons, fonts and easy commands for everyone to understand.

We will start by saying a few words about the Motorola WX345 phone. This product has also integrated a digital player, a digital camera and an FM radio. Its cellular technology is GSM. The product benefits of features like: call timer, conference call capability, caller ID, Bluetooth Wireless interface, speakerphone, vibrating alert, polyphonic ring tones, intelligent typing, world clock, the possibility of sending and receiving text messages and of recording videos because it has a digital camera, as we have said earlier. The display is based on the LCD technology and offers a display resolution of 128 x 160 pixels.

The second phone is produced by Samsung and has only a digital camera. No FM radio with this product. With it, you can send and receive text messages, play games, store videos shot by yourself, download screensavers and ring tones. This phone is powered by a 1000 mAh lithium-ion battery, that offers up to 372 minutes of talk time.

A very interesting phone is the one produced by Just5, a novelty to many that haven't heard of this company yet. This cellular phone comes with an FM radio feature, but no cameras. It uses also the GSM technology, the most powerful of all these 3 mobile phones presented here, because its band is 850/900/1800/1900, thus a quadband. In general, mobile phones today use a triband to receive cellular signals. A quadband is much better. The additional features of this phone compared to the previous two ones are a flash light and an SOS button. The phonebook capacity is of 100 names or numbers; with this phone you can send and receive text messages and voicemails; its display is a monochrome backlit LCD display and the battery offers up to 100 minutes of talk time.
