Whether you are trying to avoid certain people or want to make sure you don’t miss the people trying to touch base with you, Caller IDs are important for most mobile devices today. And while by default we all know that they normally come with the service and device, Privus Mobile aims to make sure that such a feature is present in Android phones as it brings True Caller ID to the Android phones for betting incoming calls management.

“Privus Mobile gives Android users a way to switch from their landlines without sacrificing the features they’ve come to know and depend on like Caller ID.”

The best part is you can even try out the service for free if you want to see the difference with the Caller ID service around. A free trial of the service is available as an over-the-air download in the Android Marketplace. The application also can be purchased from the Android Marketplace for only $59.95 for a full year.

Any form of bargain or scheme that can aid most consumers today is certainly welcome. And one aspect is that of lowering communication costs. With the launch of TruPhone’s TruUnlimited program, people around the world can now call more places, both landlines and mobiles, more often - all for one, low, fixed price.

Using TruUnlimited, customers enjoy the freedom to make calls around the world, at any time of the day and on any day of the week, without worrying about mounting call charges. The customer is also always in control: TruUnlimited plans do not require customers to enter into long-term contracts and may be cancelled at any time.

TruUnlimited for Landlines
For people who need to communicate regularly with colleagues, friends or family around the world, the TruUnlimited for Landlines monthly plan gives unlimited calls to landlines in 38 countries for just £10 per month. As a bonus, the plan also permits calls to mobile phones in some top destinations such as the USA, Canada, China, and Hong Kong at no extra charge.

TruUnlimited for Mobiles
For people calling mobile phones more frequently, the TruUnlimited for Mobiles monthly plan provides subscribers with unlimited calls to mobiles and landlines in 64 countries for just £25 per month.

Both plans are available immediately both to existing Truphone customers and new subscribers via the easy installation of the Truphone application software. This is available as a free download for iPhone and iPod touch, and for certain Nokia N-series and E-series devices. Truphone Anywhere is available on the Google Android G1 and on Blackberry smartphones.

The new TruUnlimited plans are not replacements for other popular Truphone programs. Customers that do not need a Truphone Unlimited plan can still make great savings on Truphone’s standard rates.

According to a newly released report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Americans now spend more on their cell phones than on land lines services. The typical U.S. consumer spent $1,110 on telephone services in 2007 (the most recent year in which statistics are available), with $608 going for cell phones, $482 for landlines and $20 for other services. The older the user, the more likely that person was to maintain a landline. The younger the user, the more likely that person was not to have a landline at all.

On average, users under 25 spent 75% of their phone service money on cell phones. For people over 65 that figure dropped to 33% of money spent. Since 2003, land lines have been declining in popularity, with more and more people choosing cell phone service or internet phone service as their main mode of communication. In the single year from 2003 to 2004, land line use dropped 60%, with another drop of 53% between 2004 and 2005.
