You've heard me talk a lot about consumer cellular, and there's a good reason. You can switch carriers, save money every month, and still get the same reliable coverage. Here's why I made the switch. Consumer cellular uses the same towers as the big carriers, so you're not sacrificing quality to pay less. And when you call consumer cellular, you just don't get pushed to a robot or told to use an app. You speak with a real person, someone knowledgeable right here in the U.S. No bots, no scripts, no hassle. The best part, you don't pay extra to speak to a human being like some big carriers are doing now. So whether you make the switch online, over the phone, or in one of their stores, you'll always work with a real person.

Make the switch today and get $25 off at ConsumerCellular.com. And if you're over 50, get one line of unlimited talk, text, and data for only $35. Plus, get an additional $5 off for the first five months. That's ConsumerCellular.com. ConsumerCellular.com. Your television, your microwave, your gaming console, all switched off, but they're all still draining power. It's called phantom power, and it can eat up your electric bill. The Department of Energy says you're paying $100 to $200 a year on devices that are technically off. That's right. The moment something is plugged in, it's actually still drawing power. Here's the quick fix, and it costs less than $25. It's called a smart plug. It goes between your wall outlet and the device.
Kim Komando 1:29
That physically cuts power to the outlet completely, the same as unplugging the device from the wall. So no more phantom power. Simply connect the smart plug to Wi-Fi, and then you control that outlet from your phone, or tell Alexa or Google to shut it down, and set a schedule too. It's all done. I have my favorite smart plugs listed right now at commando.com slash deals. That's commando.com slash deals. Next up, a call from my weekend show, the Kim Commando Show. Enjoy.

Tracy 3:06
A couple of weeks ago, you heard about smart glasses and how even though the camera is really obviously there on the temple of the glasses, the screen shows your full name and where you work and a third detail.
Kim Komando 3:23
Yeah, those are those are the meta glasses, the Facebook meta glasses. Yes.
Tracy 3:28
Okay. And wasn't there a third piece of data that showed up?
Kim Komando 3:32
Well, it also gave you your last three posts on Instagram. So somebody wearing those glasses, they get your name and where your location, where you work, and they say, for right now, it's just three posts on Instagram. After a couple of weeks, it's going to be everything.
Tracy 3:51
Yeah. Yeah.

What is phantom power and how does it affect your electricity bill?

Tracy 3:52
And so you were talking about, you know, is this too much? And yes, absolutely. You know, I rather default to the privacy rather than the visibility.
Kim Komando 4:05
Well, you know, there is a... A web developer guy who invented an app. And that if you're on Android and if somebody's approaching you with the metaglasses, it basically puts on your phone, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, metaglasses nearby, metaglasses nearby.
