It seems like anyone who is anyone has an “i” something. The iPod, iPad, or maybe even the iPhone. But if you are living on a tight budget like most of us, getting one of these cool “i” products may be out of reach. Unless you are a little bit crafty. And if you are, then you can get yourself a FREE iPhone 4 just by following a few simple steps.

Just think about it. Being able to get yourself one of the those Apple iPhones would be fantastic. Right? I mean come on, have you seen all those apps you can get? Everything from time sheets for your business to cartoons for your kids. Boy, I bet my parents would have liked to have an iPhone when I was a kid. An instant tantrum calmer.

Anyway, having an Apple iPhone is just about a necessity anymore. That is if you want to keep up on the latest trends. And for those of us determined consumers (not to mention bargain shoppers), getting a FREE iPhone 4 instead of plopping down $400 for one makes it even sweeter.

So, how can you go about getting an iPhone 4 for free? Just follow some simple steps and that baby can be yours.

First: Find a Reliable Site:

Test and Own Offer Sites can be found on the Internet right now. Since the iPhone 4 is rather new, manufacturing partners, developers, potential advertisers want to make sure that the product is in fact good and reliable. And to do this they need consumers to sign up and test the phones for bugs. And to pay the tester for his/her time, the company will allow the tester to keep the product. Sounds great, huh?

By doing this, these companies can actually save themselves money in the long run, as developing apps and advertising is much more expensive than a few free iPhones.

Second: Submit Your Zip Code

Entering your zip code when looking for a FREE iPhone is necessary. Why? Well the reason these companies are offering the phone for free in the first place is for some type of market research. And they want to be sure that they are targeting their intended audience.

For example, if the company plans on advertising the iPhone in Europe, then testers in America would not be who they are looking for. Rather they want their target market testing the product and giving them reliable feedback.

Third: Take Advantage of Some Offers:

Depending on the site, offers will vary. While some of them are free, others may cost something. But if the cost is rather minimal…let's say $1, then that would be quite worth it to get a FREE iPhone 4. Don't you think?

Your best bet is to find offers that will either not cost you anything or ones that you would like to try and may even offer a money back guarantee. That way, if you are not happy, then you do not lose anything. But you can gain an iPhone 4 for free.

Of course, it will be important for you to submit your mailing and email addresses in order for you to get the FREE Apple iPhone. Otherwise they will not be able to send it to you. And if you are afraid that you may get a ton of emails daily, then just set up a different email account for this purpose through gmail or yahoo.

Everybody wants the newest and best gadgets, and this includes the very snazzy Apple iPhone 3G. Unfortunately, the price of the iPhone, at £300 on PAYG, puts the iPhone out of most people's reach.

But what if you could learn of a fantastic new way to get an iPhone free of charge? No contract is required for this free iPhone and anyone can take advantage. It's just a matter of signing up and having a go.

This brand new internet based phenomenon is taking the UK by storm after spreading across America at breakneck speed.

The system, based on web 2.0 social networking, was originally geared towards getting a free iPhone, but users can actually claim anything they want for free as long as it can be ordered online. This free iPhone system, featured and endorsed on BBC Newsnight, works by users utilising their online network of friends to refer each other to certain companies as potential customers. This exposure is extremely valuable to advertisers who pay commission to the free iPhone website, which is used to send you the iPhone, or whatever you choose.

All users need to do to get their free iPhone is sign up to one of the many freebie internet sites that are springing up on the net. Take care to select a legitimate site as there are many fraudulent sites that will claim to give you a free iPhone but will actually keep the money for themselves. A good idea is to check the site displays a proof page to show you that gifts really are given out.

Once signed up, you need to complete an offer from a sponsor, there are many to choose from and they range from free trials to spending £10 on a bet or a bingo site. To ensure your iPhone truly is a free iPhone, I always recommend you choose a free offer. Once you have done this, the sponsor pays a commission to the freebie site.

You then need to introduce others to the sponsors and they pay commission (up to £40) for each person you introduce. This money adds up until you reach enough money for the freebie site to buy you your free iPhone, or whatever it is you have chosen. You can even just take the money if you want.

The system began in America a few years ago and has been incredibly successful. After a slow start up in the UK the system is now spreading remarkably quickly and many people are using this as a great way to make some money or get hold of the latest gadgets in these difficult times.

The iPhone 4 has hit the shelves and it is, without a doubt, the best smartphone on the market. I had heard from a friend of mine that he had found a way to get an Apple iPhone for free, which of course, I did not believe, so I decided to investigate and find out more.

There is one major drawback with the new Apple iPhone, and that is the price. Depending on your situation and which iPhone you want (16gb or 32gb), the price can range anywhere from $200 to $500. I don't know about you, but that is a lot of money to pay for a phone. There are many laptops cheaper than this phone.

Naturally, when I heard there was a way to get this new iPhone for free, I had to check it out. I found the website and immediately put in my email address and was sent all the information about the free iPhone 4. Why would a company give away free iPhones? They do this for a couple of reasons. First, they know that once you get your hands on this phone, they've got you hooked for life. You don't find companies giving away junk items for free. They give away the good stuff, because they know you are going to want to buy one when the newer ones come out. Second, the companies give away the phones, because it helps them with feedback on what they can do better, what is working right, and what is not working right. You are essentially a tester for the company and they want you to give them feedback as you use the phone.

This turns into a great bargain for everyone. You, the consumer, can get your hands on the latest, greatest iPhone on the market and the company gets invaluable feedback for building the next generation of their product.

There is a catch, though, and that is that these offers do not stay out there forever. Once the company gets the number of testers that they are looking for, then they will pull the offer, so if you are interested then you should get on it immediately. Also, by putting in your email address, you can get all the information sent directly to your inbox.

We live in a time where people get scammed each day on the web. From offers to receive millions of dollars from some unknown lottery, to people wanting to send you thousands of dollars in exchange for a service or product, it is no wonder that we get very suspicious when we see offers for free toys. So, I don't know about you, but every time I see a site that promises a Free iPhone 4 or a Free iPad or HDTV, I feel like something may be wrong. Or is there?

Let me tell you something, I actually decided to investigate one of those websites that claim to offer a free Apple iPhone. At first I was a bit hesitant, after all, these things are out of stock at the store and so I couldn't believe that someone would give one away for free. I mean, what's the catch, right?

Well, to my surprise, it turns out that some of these offers are actually legit and what happens is that you receive a unit to test. The instructions are to use the product like you normally would: I mean, stick it in your pocket with your keys and change and see if it scratches. Clutch it, grab it and see if calls get dropped, etc. After a few days of testing it, you are supposed to answer a couple of questions online and that's it. I got to keep the iPhone 4 for free! Not too bad, huh?

But let me tell you something, not all websites that offer promises for free gadgets are actually legitimate. Some are actually scams so you must be very careful. For example, I came across some that asked for some “shipping and handling” money. But fortunately, I discovered that the ones that are actually serious and trustworthy do not ask for any money from you. Just a zip code or an email address and that is it.

So, do you want a free iPhone 4?

A simple way for hackers or fraudsters to gather information about is through your email address. Many email services today offer profile sharing and create profiles on their sites directly from the information you provide when creating an email address. An example of this is windows live, or an MSN profile, Yahoo profile, even Google Buzz.

Your most important email address is your personal email address. The one you most likely use for banking, your personal social media profiles, and personal communication with friends, family, clients, and co-workers. You should keep the shared information on your personal email as private as possible and disable any public sharing of this personal information.

If you use your personal email to communicate on online dating sites, you should guard your details just the same way you would guard your home phone number, your cell phone number or your home address. Before you get started with online dating, one of the basic security aspects is to make sure you are communicating over a safe and secure email address. Hackers, scammers and spammers can find very creative ways to use your email address so understanding email security and proper email use is a must in order to have a safe and secure experience with online dating.

Separate Email

If you are very new to the Internet, and not too Internet savvy, we recommend that you create a new email address for online dating. There are various email services you can use, such as Hotmail, Gmail, and Yahoo. The email service that you use isn't important. What's important is that you separate your personal account from the your the account you will use to communicate with the people you meet on online dating websites.

When you sign up for an online dating website or a social website like Facebook you will be interacting with many new people and and your email address will be used for both communication, logging in to many websites, and exchanging messages with both the dating site, and the people you meet through the dating site. If your not too Internet savvy, and don't know how to spot scammers, spammers, and hackers over the Internet, we recommend that you set up a new email address and possible use a nickname or some other name other than your real name so that your identity is kept safe and secret. Any scammer, spammer or hacker or even an obsessed person you might meet online will not be able to easily identify you through your email address if you take this precaution.

While this may seem extreme, it's better to be safe then sorry. It only takes a few minutes to create a new email address and the benefit of this is that if you ever run into any problems you can literally toss this email address away, simply not use it anymore, and it won't be tied into any of your other personal accounts which may include your personal bank accounts, facebook account, etc. Also, if you ever want to stop communicating with someone online, they will not be able to harass you as your identity will remain a secret.

Password Security

As with most other accounts, the security of your email accounts depends in large part on the strength of your password. You should have a strong password that is not easy to guess or crack. If you haven't don so already head over and read our article on Password Security For Online Dating, so that you can follow the best protocol for choosing a good password.

If you would just like to check the current strength of your password, or check the strength of a password you're thinking of using, you can use Microsoft's Password Strength Checker. If you have a weak password that can be easily guessed or cracked, someone could gain access to your email account and all the information stored within your account. Once your email is compromised the could gain access to any other accounts tied to your email account.

One final tip is to have different passwords for different email accounts. If one of your accounts is ever compromised, your other account may still remain protected because of the different password. Although having many passwords is often to time consuming for most people, it really is a good way to increase your protection online.

Security Questions

In order to increase the security of your email address you should always create some security questions when creating your email account. Security questions are designed to add an extra layer of security in case you ever forget your password or need to reset it for some reason. If you want to check your security questions you can usually do it under the settings of your account under security or privacy in most accounts.

Some common/standard security questions include:

What is your pet's name?

What is your date of birth?

What was the make of your first car?

What city were you born in?

What is your mother's maiden name?

What are your children's nicknames?

Who is your favorite author?

Best childhood friend?

Favorite teacher?

Favorite historical person?

Grandfather's occupation?

Choose your own security question…

The list of security questions above are usually the questions that are predefined for you when you set security questions in your account. Even though these questions are a good start, someone who knows you fairly well, or can gather a good amount of information on you from public online profiles or other sources of information, may be able to guess the answers to your security questions. If someone can figure out the answers to your security questions, they could gain access to your account and reset your password, this would give them full access to your account and it would essentially be hijacked. Once the culprit has gained access to your inbox if could lead to identity theft because of the culprit's access to a variety of personal information found in your inbox.

Many email services now and days offer you the choice of creating your own security questions. This is actually the best option, because it allows you to create a unique questions that only you would know the answer too. If you choose to do this make sure you create a question that only you know the answer to. In general it should be something very personal, but also something very easy to remember, because you may need to answer this security question, if you every need to reset your password. If you create a good security questions it makes it almost impossible for a hacker, spammer, or scammer to hijack your account by guessing your security question.

Profile Information

Your online dating profiles can contain some personal information. After all you want to share some details about yourself so that other members can find you under targeted searches based on information you share on your profile. You also want to share some information so that your profile looks like it was created by a real person. Sharing some information helps other real genuine people get to know you a little before they decide to initiate contact with you. However, make sure you never share any information that could help someone guess your security questions or passwords.

Secrets Are Good

First and foremost, you should never give out your passwords, credit card information or bank account information under any circumstances online. Not even your own bank will ever ask you for your password or to verify your credit card number through an online chat session or email. Banks and credit cards ask you to verify account information but you should only do this when you call them, and never when you receive a phone call.

Apart from the above, you should also keep other details secret which could help someone guess your security questions or passwords. If someone you don't know starts asking very personal or detailed questions, a red flag should go off in your mind right away. While it is common sense not to give out your password to anyone, many of us don't think before answering other questions someone might ask us online. Be fully aware of what your security questions are and never divulge that information to anyone.

In today's world email addresses can be valuable tools for spamming, identity theft, and other fraudulent activities. Although it's not very common to have someone go through so much trouble to access your account, you could one day run into someone who wants to identify specific details in order to hack into your account. This person might try to hold one or many conversations with you through email, or chat while they gradually gather more details and information from you through seemingly normal conversations.

For example the scammer could make a conversation about pets, how they love animals and share details about their pets. If your security question is related to your pet, you should not share this specific personal information with anyone.

Keeping your email secure is not rocket science. Just remember not to divulge specific details that could compromise your security questions and password to anyone.

Today many people are very weary when someone they care about moves away and they may have to continue a long distance relationship. However, modern technology has made it not so hard to stay in touch and have a flourishing long distance relationship.

First we have the good ole' fashion telephone. I always believe talking is the best and most bonding way to a successful relationship. When we talk on the phone without any physical contact it leads to endearing fresh conversation from the heart. You get to know and understand a persons inner thoughts and feelings. You talk about every and anything. You learn to feel for this person and you haven't even held their hand, that's a true friendship making for a great relationship without adding sexual content to confuse things. Everything is purely form the heart.

Second, email is great for sending updated pictures from events you may have attended to make your intended feel a part, and they get to see you in different environments. So, now when you talk on the phone, they can put different faces with different things you may say. Of course you want to keep these pictures clean to keep the integrity pure in new relationship. Don't give too much away; there will be nothing to look forward to by your intended.

Since there is distance between you and you cannot see each other every day or week or maybe not even every month a third way to stay in touch is to plan occasional trips to see each other in person. This is important to see if a persons' dynamics works as well as the phone dynamics does. This way you do get to spend some intimate time together to personally see and learn likes and dislikes, meet the family and hang out with friends. Now you have made the relationship even stronger and you have officially joined your intended's social circle. You can see how they interact with their family and friends and to get a better glimpse on how you will be treated one on one. Don't be fooled, the way one treats their friends and family is the exact way you will be treated.

A forth way is texting. Texting should not be used to convey important thoughts or to clarify a misunderstanding. That should be talked out. However, texting can be used to convey a quick love note. You know your intended has been having a bad day or you know they work really hard and works a stressful job, a quick thinking of you note or hope your day is going fine note can not only put a smile on their face but it shows you are always thinking of them and care about how they are doing. That will brighten any dark day.

The fifth and probably the best new way to keep in touch is by the webcam application called Skype. Skype is excellent because you get to see your intended on a regular while you talk to them. Nothing beats the real thing but at least at the end of a long rough day you can sit, talk and see them. Watch their smiles and frowns. See them tired, maybe run down a little, but, you love every minute because you can see the real person. You grow closer and closer and continue to bond with one another.

Even though your relationship may be at a distance you can still feel close to a person by using these five steps to stay in touch and continue to be a part of each other everyday lives.

So you finally hooked up with that cute guy of your dreams, and you have been dating for awhile now. Things are going well, but you're worried about things getting into the overly routine category when it comes to date nights. Don't let that sizzle fizzle out! Read the following relationship advice for women and you will be putting even more “zip” into your next date night.

Think beyond dinner and a movie. These things can be a lot of fun but they can also become mundane if no other activities are thrown into the mix. You could visit a local zoo or even a drive through a safari park. Why not go roller skating, bowling, or even ride bikes through the local park? There are many ideas for a good date night out there. Find something local and physical that you will both enjoy. Putting extra effort into your next date night will show that you really care.

Another little tip in relationship advice for women is to look up some conversation starters. You might have been with your guy for a week, a year or even ten years but you surely don't know his thoughts on every little thing. Take an interest in him on your next date and ask questions. Who doesn't love to talk about themselves?

Why not put a little adrenaline rush into your next get together? Try a rollercoaster at a theme park, paintball games, or even skydiving for some real adventure! Even a jump-out-of-your -seat scary movie will do. Relationship advice for women says the thrill of something a little dangerous can be a lot of fun, and when you experience that fun with someone, you will often link the rush of feelings with that person. You can also go to the other side of the spectrum and have the ultimate relaxing date together by getting double massages, followed by a bubble bath for two.

Learn something new together. Take a class, but be sure it is something you will both enjoy. Are you both addicted to the cooking channel? Why not take a cooking class? Is it your mutual dream to travel abroad? Then think over taking some foreign language classes. There are also “improv” classes, art classes, and other fun things to learn and do together.

In other words, always be on the look out for something new and fun. Don't be content with the routine. The best relationship advice for women is to always keep things fun.
