Using a prepaid mobile phone, instead of a phone with a contract, is a great way to stay on a budget. Prepaid phones allows users to use only the minutes for which they have paid in advance without the option of going over, thus, avoiding costly overage charges. Now with the advent of Internet capable phones, many prepaid mobile providers are offering prepaid data plans. A data plan lets users send and receive emails, access the Internet and stay in sync with social networking sites. Understanding how to use your prepaid phone to send emails will keep you connected to your contacts.

Whether you live in India or are just vacationing there, a situation might arise--such as a family emergency or a bill that is due--that makes it crucial for you to send money to another country. In India, as in most countries, it takes more planning to get something out of the country than to move it around within the country. But there are options, and once you know how much money you're sending and how quickly you want it to get there, you can pick a method that works for you.
