Christmas is the time when we all make the extra effort to be social, whether it’s with friends & family at home or down the pub or any other way you can think of. However, what about those who can’t make it due to work commitments or just long distances, let’s not forget about them!
One way of staying in touch with these people is to use social networks like Twitter, Facebook and Myspace, which traditionally have been used on laptops or desktop pc’s and as such have been a little limited in their reach.
These days as we all know thanks to the likes of Android, Apple and Windows Smartphones, keeping in touch with what is going on in our loved ones lives has become so easy that it can be done with the swipe of a finger tip!
However, what about price, the ability to keep in touch is great but if the price is prohibitive then it just defeats the idea in the first place. Therefore, with that in mind we have put together a list of three Smartphone’s on pay as you go for the budget conscious, all of which have the ability to keep you in touch with friends and family via social networking.
