A method and related apparatus for reducing power consumption of a cell phone. The method includes: when the cell phone is in an idle state, connecting to a base station after a time interval several times that of the discrete receiving (DRX) time interval assigned by the base station so as to still maintain a logged-in state to the base station but to decrease radio transmissions and save power.
