Telco Guru Tip: Diarise your mobile phone and broadband contract expiry dates.

Telco Guru Tip: Diarise your mobile phone and broadband contract expiry dates. 

When your fixed term contract ends, switch to the latest deals. 

Working out all the alternatives is like solving a rubic's cube, but its well worth it. We have 2 mobile phones, high speed broadband, Sky TV & a home phone. 

In just 2 hours I figured out how to: - save over $1,000 a year - get one new iPhone 5s - upgrade broadband from 50 to 150GB at triple the current speed - get a free home phone number - upgrade to unlimited NZ & Oz phone calls & TXT's to landlines & mobiles - get free Sky TV.

Hot Tip: How to easily transfer files between your iPad/iPhone and my Mac (or PC) using Wifi.

FileApp and DiskAid http://www.digidna.net/  5 Stars Recommended.

My daughter shot a few gigs of video on our camera and she wanted to edit them using iMovie on her iPad. 

We could have used a cloud service like DropBox but that would unnecessarily use up our data allowance on the home broadband. 

So I saved them to my MAC from the camera and then used FileApp to save them onto the iPad. 

DiskAid is optional, but it has the benefit of being able to backup the iPad/iPhone. 

I tried several other apps before finding FileApp.
