    Why would I want to mean that? What has telephony got to do with an Android smartphone? I have an old Nokia 1100 that I paid £10 in 2003, it can do telephony much better than those fancy droids.

    Now if you talk of Android apps to generate passive income, we can talk about it, but I save more more money by just relying on tried and tested old-fashion technology.

    I use whats app and I don't think I am being charged any money for it that I am aware of. Did you say Viber was better?

    It's less than a £1 per year I think.

    Does that make it like Skype? Can you contact any number on it?

    Going off on a slight tangent, I use Waze all the time ... How does it save money? You can avoid traffic jams and save fuel by not sitting in them, or if you're the poor sap stuck in one, tell others about it. And when you do need fuel, you can find the cheapest nearby, again fed in by your fellow users.
    Well, there's 'save' and 'save'. As it requires live data streaming, it can work out expensive, depending of course on journey and data plan.

    I tried it on wifi and it looks good, but there's no way I could 'save' money when out and about.
