That’s why cellphone companies recommend text messaging rather than calling in any disaster, because text messages use much less network capacity. They also don’t use much battery power.

T-Mobile offers Wi-Fi calling on a large number of its phones, which means it uses your home Internet (or whatever Wi-Fi network your on) to place the call. If you’re on another carrier, consider using Skype or another VoIP service to place calls over Wi-Fi. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And the Associated Press offers these tips, directed at people within the storm zone:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Even if cellphones work, wireless networks may be overloaded by people calling to check in on each other or surfing the Web. That’s why cellphone companies recommend text messaging rather than calling in any disaster, because text messages use much less network capacity. They also don’t use much battery power. Using Facebook and Twitter can be tempting, but try to keep usage brief and use the phone’s apps rather than web browsers if possible, to minimize network use and battery drain.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tech Events\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nMany companies doing business on the East Coast are feeling effects that include the cancellation of high-tech events, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.siliconbeat.com/2012/10/28/frankenstorm-nixes-east-coast-tech-event-plans/\">Silicon Valley Beat\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\nThe list of affected events includes a Facebook promotion for its new “Facebook Gifts” program that was scheduled for the FAO Schwarz toy store in Manhattan, a big mobile tech confab organized by the folks who run the All Things D blog, and a Google event where the company was expected to show off some of its latest Android products — including new tablets, phones and a rumored software update.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How to Help\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe Red Cross is asking for additional blood donations. “A lot of blood donation sites on the East Coast have been shut down,” said Emily White of the organization’s San Francisco office.
