The latest mobiles are more like personalised mini-computers than phones. As well as voice calls and SMS, you can 

• take pictures
• send MMS
• find out the latest sports scores, HSC results, etc.

You can even listen to the radio or watch TV.

These new features are useful and fun, but it can be a challenge at times to understand what's what!

And there are some potential downsides, eg.

• People using mobiles to send threatening SMS or to spread nasty rumours.
• SMS can sometimes be misinterpreted.
• You have to work out what you can afford!

This site hopes to help you work out what's what; keeping your mobile use fun, safe and affordable.
