Making the Most of Your WIFI Connection

this is too good not to share...

i read these tips from the september 2010 issue of goodhousekeeping magazine (phil ed, page 74, with rep. lucy torres-gomez on the cover).  do take note of them as they will help you save a lot of money...

7 ways to make the most out of your internet connection:
1.  use social networking sites (fb, multiply, ym) when sending a message.  you may even chat if both of you happen to be online at the same time. 
* SAVE P1 per text message

2.  buy plane tickets online (cebu pacific, philippine airlines, zestair, airphil express, tiger airways).  transaction is safe and faster. 
* SAVE gas and parking fee

3.  read the news online (minus the long list of ads and job vacancy listings).  most of the reputable dailies have websites, and so do news channels like abs-cbn, gma, cnn, bloomberg.
* SAVE P20

4.  watch movies on crackle.  no need to buy dvd (pirated or otherwise).
* SAVE P350 for original version

5.  make calls on skype and yahoo messenger.  just download the program, install them and you're on your way to big, big phonecall savings -- esp for international calls.
* SAVE P6.50 - 7.50/min (local mobile phone calls) and more for international calls

6.  make free phone number inquiries at spot.
* SAVE P2/ directory assistance inquiry

7.  pay bills online.  you can pay thru bpi or bancnet.  just check if your utility provider or insurance company is listed. 
* SAVE gas and parking fee
