The best uses for your old cellphone

I was at a local dealership yesterday -- shopping around for a used car of course -- and one of the employees asked what I do for a living. I wrote "writer" down on my information sheet, which piqued his interest.

I proudly explained that I was a staff writer for Clark Howard. His eyes lit up. He went on for several minutes explaining how Clark's messages have helped him throughout the years -- he even told me he attempts to share some knowledge with customers. Pretty neat! Hopefully you guys are out there spreading some money-saving and scam-avoiding tips.

After his praise for Clark ended, we began discussing some of our own "life hacks" or quick tips. His main area of interest: usage for old cellphones. I shared some of the tips we have on Clark.com (see below) and some additional ones, which got me thinking -- this is great info everyone should know about!
