5 Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do

For all the folks with cell phones.
(This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and /
or wallet)
(Good information to have with you.)

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave
emergencies.

Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an
emergency tool for survival.
Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST - Emergency

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you
find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile
network and there is an Emergency, dial 112 and the mobile
will search any existing network to establish the emergency
number for you, and interestingly, this number 112 can be
dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

SECOND – Lost keys
Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote keyless entry?
This may come in handy someday.
Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in
the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home
on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell
phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at
your home press the unlock button, holding it near the
mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock.
Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you.

Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away,
and if you can reach someone who has the other
‘remote’ for your car, you can unlock the doors (or
the trunk).

THIRD - Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your cell battery is very low.
To activate hidden battery power, press the keys *3370# .
Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the
instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve
will get charged when you charge your cell phone next time.

FOURTH - How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone’s serial number, key in the
following digits on your phone: *#06#. A 15-digit code will
appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset.
Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone
gets stolen, you can phone your service provider and give
them this code. They will then be able to block your handset
so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will
be totally useless. You probably won’t get your phone
back, but at least you know that whoever stole it
can’t use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there
would be no point in people stealing mobile p hones.

And Finally….

FIFTH - Free Directory Service for Cells

Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more
for 411 information calls when they don’t have to. Most
of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle,
which makes this situation even more of a problem.
When you need to use the 411 information option, simply
dial: (800)FREE411, or (800) 373-3411< Bwithout
incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell
phone now.

Pass it on to your family and friends.

After I created my new Random Pricing Payment Button Generator a few weeks ago, I bought the domain http://randompricing.com, using only digg.com, the Warrior forum, and an article I wrote to scribed and hubpages….

I have noticed that Google has ranked me pretty good for a number of search terms….But I don’t know if this means anything or not. I read a post on the warrior forum yesterday or the day before, where someone was happy that he got the first spot and several warriors were quick to tell him that no one would use those search terms…

Regardless, I am very happy with my results, seeing how I only bought the domain a few weeks ago, and uploaded the site last week….

Anyways here is what I found:

Results 1 - 10 of about 1,650,000 for how to create random price payment buttons
2nd position

Results 1 - 10 of about 115 for “payment button generator”
1st position

Results 1 - 9 of 9 for “payment button software”
1st position

Results 1 - 6 of 6 for “payment button creator”
1st position

Results 1 - 10 of about 1,770 for “random pricing”
1st position

Results 1 - 10 of about 14,800 for “random price”
4th position

What do you think?

As you start your Internet marketing career, you will hear all kinds of advice from all angles.  One piece of advice that is often left out though is being sloppy. 

Two things happened to me today to prompt this post…..

One, I purchased a product from a “middle level” Internet Marketer.  The PayPal redirect did not work after my payment.  In other words, I finished paying with PayPal, waited to see if I would be automatically redirected and after I was not, I clicked the return to merchant link…. which sent me back to the sales page.

Then after an hour of not recieving an email, I wrote them and included a copy of my receipt, two hours later still no reply…..

Now, I am certain I will get my product, because this “marketer” is definately legit, but the whole process was just too sloppy…..

Item Number 2 is actually funny, so here goes….

I recieved an email today and here is what the subject line said:

I had to laugh….I was hand picked!  or was it even me?  Obviously all joking aside, the blank space before the comma told me that his autoresponder was supposed to enter my name there…. right away I knew this is just an Internet marketing tactic to make me think that I really was hand picked…. the email goes on to say that “he was going through his list of subscribers and my name jumped out, this was perfect for me he said.”

So, as you can quickly tell…. there was no hand picking here and this email went out to everyone on his list. 

In my opinion this hurts the writer’s credibility.

 So what exactly happened here?  Either he used the wrong autoresponder personalization tag or maybe when I subscribed the name field was not an option or maybe I left the name field blank.  What ever did occur,  there were a few steps he could have taken to prevent it from happening.

If you are going to use personalization tags in your emails, as I highly recommend you do… you should assure that you are capturing the name along with the email and assure that you use the correct tags when writing your email.

One way to assure that your subscriber has to enter their name is to use a small snippet of javascript code with your web form.

Just enter the following code right before your webform:
<script language=”JavaScript”>
function checkSub(){
if (document.signup.email.value.indexOf(‘@’, 0) == -1) {
alert(”Please fill in your valid Email address.\nYour email should be in the following format: email@address.com“)
document.signup.email.focus()
return false}
if (document.signup.fname.value == “”) {
alert(”Please fill in your First name.”)
document.signup.fname.focus()
return false}                         
}</script>

Then, in order to call the java code enter the following code: onsubmit=”return checkSub()” inside the <form action> tags.

So an example code will look like this:
<center>

<table border=0 bgcolor=#CCCCCC>
<tr><td>
<table border=0 cellpadding=15 width=97% bgcolor=#EEEEEE>
<tr><td>
<script language=”JavaScript”>
function checkSub(){
if (document.signup.email.value.indexOf(‘@’, 0) == -1) {
alert(”Please fill in your valid Email address.\nYour email should be in the following format: email@address.com“)
document.signup.email.focus()
return false}
if (document.signup.name.value == “”) {
alert(”Please fill in your First name.”)
document.signup.name.focus()
return false}                         
}</script>
<form action=”http://yourfree.ws” method=”POST” onsubmit=”return checkSub()”>
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr><td align=right><font face=”Arial, Geneva” size=”-1″>Name:</td><td><input type=”text” name=”name”></td></tr>
<tr><td align=right><font face=”Arial, Geneva” size=”-1″>Email:</td><td><input type=”text” name=”email”></td></tr>
<tr><td> </td><td><input type=”submit” name=”submit” value=”Submit”></font>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>
</form>
</center>
 
Wow, I just realized…my post was about sloppy marketing and I turned it into a tutorial, sorry about that.

The bottom line is all about perception, when you deal with someone online whom you have never met… their emails, salespages, business model, and your experience with them shape YOUR PERCEPTION of them.

When I deal with Internet Marketers like this I see a huge lack of professionalism and credibility and I keep that in the back of my mind when dealing with them again.

 Now don’t get me wrong… I definately make my share of mistakes, but I try and try, I test and test, and finally I stay in front of my keyboard nearly every moment that Im awake just to make sure everything is running smoothly.

Just remember, you are not alone out there….I appreciate you for being a subscriber of mine and taking the time to read my blog and emails, please do not hesitate to ask me if you need any assistance at all, I will do every thing I can to help.

Of course I thought this was interesting, since it was about me.
