Windows Phone 7 offers us unprecedented experience: online synchronous service. Yet, even good service has to pay a high price-network flow. So, how do we save network flow without affecting good operating experience? The followings are a few practical strategies in making use of Windows Phone.
1' Wi-Fi network
Steps: Settings'Wi-Fi'Wi-Fi Networking (On/Off'
Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is among the most widely used wireless network transmission technology. That means it transmits wire network signals to wireless ones. When Wi-Fi wireless signals can be found, you'll be able to connect for the network without connecting other signals, which saves flow fees in your case.
2. If you are used to using operator data, I strongly suggest you shutting them back and never turning it on until you have to use it.
Steps: Settings 'Network' Data Connection (On/Off)

After closing Data Connection, the entire data network will be turned off completely. For example, your cell phone will not be able to obtain MMS, neither can it enable to send MMS. Besides, notices regarding the information of Wi-Fi and apps are not available, either.
Data Roaming Options (Roam/Don't Roam)
For people that haven't opened global roaming, no matter whether you end up picking data roam or otherwise. However, when you have opened international roaming service and go abroad every once in awhile, you must think twice whether there's had to turn on this function.
3. Airplane Mode
Steps: Settings'Airplane Mode (Status On/Off)
This function can close cell cellular at a time and no operator network flow will be generated. Yet, after closing this function, you can still open Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. When there's a calling coming, the caller will get a message indicating your phone being power off.
4. Mail synchronization'Make better use of Push Mail
Steps: Settings 'Email & Account'Press your email box.
If you do not often send emails and seldom depend on it, please select "Down New Context' Manually Model". If you need it, please follow the steps below:
-For Windows Live mailbox:
Steps: Download New Context ' As Items Arrive".
Well, does this step mean? In fact, it refers to Push Mail. According to my own experience that Push Mail can better save flow.
-For Exchange ActiveSync mailbox:
Steps: Download New Context s'As Items Arrive.
-For other mail box:
As other types of post office box don't support Push Mail, you've got no choice but set the choices of "Dowloand New Context ' Regular Inspection". You can save lots of flow if you fix a specific time to check emails relative to your email intensity.
5. Location services
Steps: Settings 'Location'Location Services'On/Off'
After the close of location services, the apps of previously opened location services will fail to access to your current location.
6. Find my phone
Steps:
Settings'Find My Phone

7. Update mobile devices
In days gone by years, due to the openness of Windows, everyone were afraid that their PCs would get poisoned or perhaps be invaded by Trojans, that anything stored inside the PC will be seen by others, or their passwords or key will be let out.
As smartphones will be more clinging on the body, we store many personal data or even locations into them. As our smartphones will almost always be in a state of networking more often than not, they'll cause worse loss than PCs if invaded by Trojans.
Compared to Android, WP7 is safer because of its closed os. If strictly follow the suggestions below, your smartphones is going to be too much safer.
Windows Phone Safety Regulations
Only download apps and games from Marketplace. In fact, there are lots of methods to unlock WP7 and download pirated softwares. Yet, the catch is once you unlock WP7, the API towards the bottom of your smartphones will likely be exposed, thus leading to the possibilities for hackers to obtain or change some important information through these API. Some technicians knowledgeable about WP7 can easily interpret a collection of contrary APP. Plus with Trojan or monitoring apps, they upload them into piracy markets, where you don't know perhaps the apps downloaded are problematic or otherwise not.
2. Update your cell phones for the latest version.

3. Set unlock passwords for your cell phone in case of someone will pick-up or steal your phones. Please reference How to Unlock WP7?
4. Set SIM passwords. Take PIN as SIM of your cellphone. By both setting unlock
passwords and SIM codes, your cell phone will likely be safer.
5. If your phones lose, you'd make better use of Find My Phone. Please
reference How to Find My Phone?
6. Have your browser set as Not Store Cookie Automatically. Cookies may record your passwords. If your phones are stolen,
each one of these data maybe leaked.
Steps: Settings (slide towards the right)'Applicatins'Internet Explorer'Allow Cookies on My Phone (delete the tick)
7. When connecting Wi-Fi in public places, don't input any passwords because hackers are easily to steal them through public Wi-Fi. Therefore, be careful when free Wi-Fi is accessible.
Apart from what have been mentioned above, WP7 itself is rather safer. For developers and hardware manufacturers, the closed system somewhat gets a hindrance, yet it might effectively protect users personal information.
