RSS Feed To Email Inbox

Posted by William on 12/27/2009 in , , , , , , , , , , ,

          FeedMyInbox is one of the simplest websites to use.  All you need is a website that has an RSS feed (look for the blue or orange icon in your url address bar) and an email address.  You type in the website and your email address and hit submit.  You should get a confirmation email, and you will receive an email about your site within 24 hours of confirmation.  It is useful because there are some news sites that I will forward to my phone so I can read it when I want.  This is free and requires little work to setup.  Check it out for yourself with the provided link above and get daily news delivered right to your email.
          And with my post on how to Receive Email on Any Phone, this is available to everyone.  If you have any comments please leave them below and thanks for reading.

Get Your T-Mobile Or AT&T Phone Unlock For Free




          Thinking about going on an international trip or changing GSM carriers?  Well you'll need to unlock your phone to use it with compatible carriers.  Now there are many shady sites that will supposedly give you a subsidy unlock code for your phone.  Most of them have a small fee from five to ten dollars, but I don't understand why you would trust such a site.  For all you know the company may give you a fake code, and I wouldn't want to take that chance.  What most people don't know is that their wireless carrier will give you the code for no cost.  Just as long as you have had an active line for at least 90 days and you have your phone's IMEI number.  The IMEI number is normally found on the back of your phone under the battery.  If not found there you can obtain it by typing *#06# in your phone.
          Next if you are a T-Mobile user you just call the customer service number (1-800-937-8997) and request for the subsidy unlock code.  They will normally ask if you will be using the phone internationally and you just agree (even if you aren't hehe).  And that is it, they will ask for an email address so they can send you the unlock code and you should receive it within 24 hours.  Once you have your code, the quickest way to unlock your phone is to put in a sim card from a different carrier and when it starts up it will ask for the subsidy code then.
          Now if you have an AT&T phone that you want unlocked the process is very similar.  But one thing is that they suggest you have an international roaming feature on your account, to obtain the code.  But other than that you just call their customer service (1-800-331-0500) and ask for the subsidy unlock code.  I am not experienced with their process, but here is a site where one person explains it in detail: Unlock AT&T Phone.  Now if for some reason you are not able to obtain an unlock code for your AT&T phone, I've heard that T-Mobile sometimes unlocks AT&T phones as well, I'm not sure if it is free, but it's worth a try.  
          I am a T-Mobile customer and just recently unlocked my Razr 2, and the process took around 12 minutes on the phone.  I really like this process much better than entrusting a site i've never heard of with my money and maybe even my phone number.  I suggest that you try this process before any other one.  Thanks for reading and if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave them.

Looking For The Latest Ipod App Sales?

          Then you need to keep your eye on these sites.  AppShopper and 148Apps, they both post apps that have recently changed in price.  As well as provide ITunes store links so you can easily download them.  It's perfect because for people like me who don't want to spend a lot of money (if any) on apps, they save me from spending when I don't need to.  I've downloaded about 15 different apps that would have cost me around $20.  It's really smart shopping and every Ipod touch and Iphone user should know about it.  Everything from GPS, games, and utilities apps are shown on the sites.  So you may find an app that you've never even heard of or thought of.  Each site is updated daily, so you wont miss a thing.
          Just think of all of the money you'll save.  You could use it to buy a case, so you can prevent scratches from your very precious and delicate device.  Just thought I'd post this quick notice so you readers could start keeping money in your wallet.  Thanks for reading, and as always feel free to leave a comment or two.

Charge Your Mobile Device With a Duracell Instant Charger

Posted by William on 12/21/2009 in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Everyone has been in a situation where their phone or media player dies when they need it the most. And usually you aren't lucky enough to be around a plug-in or have your power adapter, but with this compact and easy to use charger you can be at ease. It uses a rechargeable lithium ion battery that includes a USB to Mini USB adapter. Seems like a good idea for those long road trips.
Check out this review on AnythingButIpod's page: Duracell Instant Charger Review
I think this charger should run you around $25, so I'd give it a look. It even works with Ipods, and has an on and off switch to preserve its charge as best as possible.  Here's a link for Amazon's description, and customer reviews: Duracell Instant Charger
If you have used this or know someone who has, please leave a comment tell me your idea of it. Thanks for reading.

Receive Email Free for Any Phone

Posted by William on 12/17/2009 in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Ever gaze at a person who is checking their email on their blackberry and think how nice that must be? If I had that I would be more efficient with my work, or would be able to communicate to more people. The only thing that is stopping you from getting email for your phone is that it's is not worth the money (that is my reason) or maybe your phone doesn't support it. Now, there is a free solution for it. The only requirements you'll need is a phone with a text messaging plan (preferably unlimited Texting plan) and an email account with email forwarding. There are many email services with free forwarding such as Gmail. As of recent Yahoo does not allow you to use email forwarding for free, so unless you want to pay $20 a year for it, I suggest you use a free email forwarding provider. Now after you have an email account with email forwarding, you need to set it to forward your emails to your phone. Your address depends on your wireless service provider, here is a list:

T-Mobile: phonenumber@tmomail.net
Virgin Mobile: phonenumber@vmobl.com
Cingular: phonenumber@cingularme.com
Sprint: phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
Verizon: phonenumber@vtext.com
Nextel: phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com


Where it says "phonenumber" you put your 10 digit phone number (including area code). And after you set your email to forward to your phone's email address your are done! The great part about this is that you can even reply to emails as well. So with an unlimited texting plan, feel free to email as much as you want, right from your phone.
Have any more questions about setting your phone up? Feel free to leave a comment and I will respond as soon as I can. I hope you enjoyed this post.
