If you don’t already have a cell phone, you’re definitely going to want one before college. Cell phones are extremely useful nowadays, and if you don’t have one, you’re going to be surprised at how frequently you’re inconvenienced.

You may already have a plan that you’re going to continue, but if you’re open to the idea of a new phone and/or provider, you should definitely make sure you make the right choice.

Depending on where you go to school, the providers that you believe are best may not necessarily be the best choice. I use Verizon — a network that’s normally considered to be very reliable — yet I get the worst service here. Text messages rarely send and calls won’t always go through. That’s only around my dorm, but that’s still a giant inconvenience.

If you’re going up for orientation or just to visit, bring your phone up and try to make a few calls while on campus. Get an idea of how good the signal is. Don’t just count the number of bars you have — actually try out your phone and make sure it seems to be reliable. Walk around different spots. If you have an idea where you’ll be living, try your phone out around there especially.

If you know somebody who already attends the school, ask him or her if there’s anything you should know about phone providers before you attend the school. If you don’t know anybody, just approach a random person while on campus or add a random person from the school on Facebook or MySpace and ask them quickly.

Having a phone is very essential, and if your phone never works, it’s just as bad as not having a phone at all. Make sure that you’re going to be getting the most for your money and making the best choice about what plan to have.

(ARA) – Just a few years ago, only executives were walking around with the latest technology. Now the newest flip phones, text messaging and mobile instant messaging devices have become mainstream. Texting has experienced an explosion in popularity all across the nation. 

 

Everyone from trend-setting teens to busy professionals and on-the-go moms are texting colleagues, friends and family, in large part because texting lets you communicate anytime, anywhere. The following tips can help you to take hold of the texting trend: 

How-To: Send Text Messages from Phone to Phone. It’s easy to exchange text messages with anyone who has a text-enabled mobile phone (nearly all phones are these days) or PDA. Even if you and your friends have different wireless providers, you can just enter the 10-digit wireless phone number into the “to” field and text away. 

How-To: Send Instant Messages from Phone to Phone. If you and your friends or co-workers use instant messaging (IM) on the desktop, it’s easy to continue the conversation on-the-go. Many mobile phones and PDAs have built-in “Mobile IM” features, and most phones can download mobile versions of popular IM services like the AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) service (found at www.aolmobile.com). Be sure to set up IM forwarding when you leave your computer to re-direct IMs to your phone and stay in touch wherever you go. 

How-To: Send Mobile Messages from Your Computer. It’s a snap to send messages from your computer to friends on mobile phones or PDAs via your instant messaging service. If your buddies have activated IM forwarding, you can simply carry on your IM chat as usual. If not, you can send a text message to anyone by entering +1 and the ten-digit wireless phone number into the “to” field of the IM window where you normally enter their IM screen name. 

How-To: Save Money on Mobile Messaging. Check with your mobile service provider to make sure you have the right service plan. Whether you send a few or a lot of text messages each month, you should have the text message plan that meets your needs. 

How-To: Send All Mobile Messages Faster. If you want to speed up your texting experience, activate the predictive text input feature on your mobile phone or PDA. This helpful tool, most often provided by T9 Text Input software, enables you to enter words with just one key press per letter — including slang phrases like GR8 (”great”) and LOL (”laughing out loud”). Twice as fast as multi-tap, T9 is also smart. It learns new words and adapts to the way you text. Available on 800 popular models, T9 is probably already on your phone or PDA. 

To help texters stay on top of the latest slang terms, Tegic Communications, makers of T9 Text Input, put together the “Lingo Dictionary,” a resource for today’s texters. Available as a free download at www.t9.com/t9dictionary, expert texters as well as those new to sending messages from their mobile phones and PDAs can get up to speed and take advantage of this great time-saving tool.

When it comes to a audio recorder, there are so many different brands, and varities out there for people to choose from its sometimes hard to figure out which one would be right for you. Many audio recorders are just built for one reason, and that is recording voice conversations, things like speech’s, or maybe a business meeting. 

Many people get these devices so that they can play back what was said over, and over so that they can learn it, or memorize it. This form of learning is called audio learning, and is quite popular nowadays. There are also other forms of audio recorders, which comes the digital audio recorder, this device can be used for not only recording things like a coversation, but also maybe music for instance. 

Many people who have digital audio recorders use these devices to record either their favorite songs, or they can use them to record coversations as well. The digital audio plays back a lot better then the regular audio recorders do, and also sometimes the digital audio recorders can record a lot more then the regular recorders can as well, because digital audio is a more compact version of audio. It is more compact, and also more clear when you play it back, so it makes great use for someone who wants to record something like music on their recorder, and play it back to themselves. 

If your in the market for a audio recorder, and you dont really know what to get, then I would suggest researching the digital audio recorders. That is because you never know what your going to use it for, and it could come in handy when you want to record something like a music concert for instance, and also can be used when you need to record a conversation as well. 

There is almost no limit with what you can do with the digital audio recorders, and also what they can do for you. Most of these recorders dont even require you to have a tape to record to, some of them record right to the device itself, and allow you to play back anytime you wish. You just need to do some research on the digital audio recorders, and see if they are right for you.

TeaShark, a mobile browser like Opera Mini, allow you to access Airtel GPRS for FREE. Shockingly it has nothing to do with modifying any Airtel settings or any kind of hack. I am clueless about how its working! I tested it personally throughout the week but I haven’t been charged a single penny. 

Here is how I used this…

• Download TeaShark v. 312. Its free and being JAR file it can be installed on most handsets.
• Open it from your mobile and select AirTel Live as access point.
• That’s it! Open any site from TeaShark and you won’t be charged anything.

Note for the first time, when TeaShark starts, it may take more than one minute to initialize. Also this one time initialization may fail many times. But don’t loose your heart!  

Here are some famous sites’ mobile version…

• Gmail: m.gmail.com
• Orkut: m.orkut.com
• Facebook: m.facebook.com
• Twitter: m.twitter.com

As a first post at Devils Workshop, I wrote about free Airtel GPRS two years back. This is much different that earlier trick. As of now, this trick is limited to handsets only. The earlier one used to work even from PC.

The whole thing seems a fortunate coincidence for mobile users and unfortunate one for network operators. This trick cannot be termed illegal as you are not cracking any software or modifying any configuration. For the same reason, I think this will take longer to get rectified.

Please keep in mind that AirTel may charge you all of a sudden in future of this free ride. So please use it at your own risk!  

FAQ: 

Q. Error: “Subscribe to Packet Data First”

Ans: This means you need to activate AirTel Live service which is free. Contact customer care to get it activated. Also select only AirTel Live as access point when prompted by TeaShark.

Q. TeaShark stuck at blank screen.

Ans: New version of TeaShark has some problems. Please download one using link given below.

Q. Will this work on my mobile?

Ans: Most probably YES, as this is java java applications and most good handsets supports java applications.

Q. Its not working…

Ans: Sorry. We can’t do anything then for you. I have personally seen this hack working in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Delhi while it didn’t work for me in Rajasthan.
