Reverse Cellular Phone Directories
November 21, 2009 by Jason58 · 7 Comments
There are many different reasons for needing access to a special cellular phone database. Whether its a number you are trying to find or an unknown home phone on the caller id. From time to time we simply want to find out exactly where a number comes from -and every now and then we need serious information.
Reverse Cellular Phone Directories
What makes mobile Phone researches and databases so unique than that of regular regular phone research, is the fact that home phones can be found fully free of charge from a phone book.Every single land line is researched throughout the land. Because everybody has telephone bills in mainly the same exact way- that could be a huge reason why land line research is so different from cellular phone research.
So if we want to find out some info on someone or find out information- it will take a more complicated reverse cell phone directory.
Its widely known that there are no openly existing cell phone directories – we will have to go about using specialized reverse mobile databases.As of now, reverse cell phone methods will only come from directories that are created manually, by actual companies that are looking to make there money back.
Normally, a reverse cellular phone directory is made by someone or some company- by going out and getting all the assorted mobile phone numbers and cell information behind the cell phone numbers. This type of database requires paying for information not usually accessible to the average person. These days there is so much mobile phone information included in the cell directory- it usually costs the company a great deal of time and money.
But the actual fee for using one of these databases is not that costly. For around $5-$8 we can discover lots of information for different mobile numbers- for the regular regular phone, cellular phones and even the “UNLISTED” numbers.
Reverse Cell Phone Number Lookups
And there are plenty of uses , if you think that this tool could come in handy -for any reason, like finding old friends or trying to find information on a new friend or your kids friends or anything like that- like the plan that will permit you to use the Reverse cell Phone directory – FOR LIFE. For most systems its 2-3 times as expensive -but its definitely something to think about. As with great pieces of technology -we never realize how helpful something is until we really need it.

Find Unknown Cell Phone Numbers Quickly
October 8, 2009 by Jason58 · 5 Comments
It’s a common myth going around on the internet these days that soon all cell numbers will be released in a public index, and a cell phone directory search will be available to telemarketers and anyone else who wants to find a phone number. This is just not true. The cell phone companies do not want a public relations headache regarding their customer’s privacy, so this is not going to happen.
However, it is possible to find most cell numbers using a paid cell phone directory search service. If you are looking to find an unknown number that is showing up on your call i.d. screen, you can pay a small fee and learn who is calling.
In order to find a cell number, you have to use a paid site. The sites that advertise that their searches are free are not being honest. Normally they use this tactic to lure you in and then you find that you have to pay for access. It’s better to use a cell phone number locator service that is honest and discloses what it charges up front.
You are not going to find unlisted phone number information for free – it is just too expensive to compile all of this data nationwide without charging a fee. You are better off using a service that will tell you up-front what they charge, and what you get for your payment.
Luckily, these sites don’t really charge too much, when you take into account how much information they must compile all over the nation. It really is amazing how well these sites work, as most of them charge very reasonable fees.
If you are searching for that lost friend or relative, give one of these new web sites a try, you’ll be contacting your party sooner than you ever thought possible!
The Dell Inspiron 910 Mini: Read This First
October 4, 2009 by Jason58 · 7 Comments
Having been amongst the first to purchase the Dell 910 Mini I wanted to share my experience with others that might be thinking about acquiring this item or one of the other sub-notebook or ‘netbooks’ as they have become known. I manage a web design agency and I’ve been contemplating the idea of getting a more modern laptop as my old Dell Inspiron from 2003 is as heavy as a brick.
Shortly after having retired the old Dell to my girlfriends house (I couldn’t face lugging it back and forwards any longer so it just lives there now, I might well do the same with myself one of these days soon!) it stopped charging and wouldn’t run from the mains, so eventually when I gave it to my tech to repair he found out that it was one of the known faulty models, the 5150 which developed a problem with the motherboard overheating after prolonged use, this I found out about 2 years after they stopped replacing them as part of a class action lawsuit, shame I’m two years too late to get it replaced for free!
Ah well what’s 150 quid for a factory refurbished Motherboard off ebay, compared with years of loyal service in spite of being dropped a couple of times, spat on repeatedly, eaten over and all manner of other not recommended usage styles! I even used to have it hooked up to my TV via the onboard S-VHS port and watch films on it, so it has seen some action, oh yes!
However, this was all inspired by my step dad who just bought a top of the range Toshiba Portege at around £1,200, but he’s at that time in life where 1,200 quid is affordable, where as I’m still in financial recovery from my last divorce (yes there was more than one!)! So I stumbled across an ad for the Dell Inspiron 910 Mini on the Dell website whilst looking at specs of laptops for a customer, and there it was £299 inc VAT and delivery. What a bargain I thought!
Anyway there I was credit card on hot standby, wrist twitching ready to make a purchase, but wait a minute I thought, why am I buying this, do I really need it? No, I don’t NEED it I just HAVE TO HAVE ONE! So then some sensibility came over me and I put my credit card away, feeling all pleased with myself at having managed to resist an impulse purchase!
However, the next day my step Dad needs me to take a look at his new machine because he can’t get the music software to work and can’t get it to see the other computers that are on our network (this job for me, comes with the territory!) So I happen to have to work on this ultra lightweight Toshiba , wow I’m amazed at how small it is, especially compared to my old Dell 5150! I wish I could afford one of these I thought! I noticed he didn’t have my recommended security software installed though.For internet security I use Avast Anti Virus and Spybot Search & Destroy, which as well as being free, are just great programs.
The following day I had to go to a customers and as the appointement was first thing in the morning I went straight there from my girlfriends house and took the old laptop with me (which gives me a great excuse to call in on my way back and drop it off, coincidentally around about lunchtime when there might be the chance of a ham, cheese and salad sandwich on the go! Yum, she is soooo good to me!) So anyway, I about put my back out trying to put this incredibly heavy laptop in the car passenger foot well whilst sitting in the drivers’ seat! One of those ‘put your back out’ manoeuvres. So having experienced the new lightweight machines first hand, and realised I do have a genuine NEED for the new Dell Inspiron mini after all, weighing in at around 1kg, you know I planned to get that credit card out again as soon as possible!
So as I had a management meeting that afternoon I informed my Finance Manager I would be ordering one and that was that. It was Friday October 3rd when I placed the order on the Dell website, and on the 8th I got back from a customer meeting to find a small cardboard box on my desk with the Dell log on the side, I thought it couldn’t possibly be the new mini as the confirmation email I got said it would arrive on or around the 20th October, but sure enough it really had arrived!
So I’m like a kid in a sweet shop thinking “best day ever” (See Heroes Season 3), I was ecstatic and carefully unpacked it, tossing instructions and disks to one side of course, “read those later” I thought. I got it out and started setting it up straight away, you know remove McAfee Security Centre and all the other junk software these things come with these days. Why they can’t just send you a blank windows installation I don’t know, more advertising!
As it has an integrated web cam I also downloaded Windows Live Messenger and had a quick video chat with my missus whilst she was doing her ironing, fantastic!So next I Googled ‘mobile broadband suppliers’ and toyed with ordering the USB dongle from Three, as their 5GB monthly allowance is only 15 quid a month so the best looking deal, providing those coverage stories you hear about Three Mobile are not really true! (Update: Yes the coverage is lousy in all the areas I want to use it, even at my desk I have to connect the dongle to a USB cable and hang it from my roof to get 1 bar signal strength, buy another brand!)
Anyway, it was soon time to go and pick up my daughter from school so I thought yeah I’ll take it with me and even though I don’t have the mobile broadband dongle yet I can continue configuring it in car park if I’m early. I was early, so I turned it on, it said:
Windows could not start because of an error in the software.
Please report this problem as :
load needed DLLs for kernel.
Please contact your support person to report this problem
As we say in England from the popular Catherine Tate sketch “Computer says no…”
Ah dear, it was great fun whilst it lasted, all of about 2 and a half minutes!Then followed a 2 and a half hour telephone marathon with Dell support in India
Apparently they were so quick to ship it to me that my service tag isn’t on their system yet. Service Tag? What does that have to do with it not booting up?
Having not been able to lookup the service tag on the system (something to do with software licensing) they said they couldn’t send me a replacement yet, I was furious as it is such a simple issue to resolve, but they simply refused until the service tag was registered on their system!
They suggested I called back in 24-48 hours, well I explained to them exactly what I thought of their suggestion as I’m sure you can image, but to no avail. I did indeed have to call back today and they have agreed to send me a replacement unit as it is within 7 days of delivery.
I hope the replacement arrives as promptly as the original unit did…
So conclusion? Apart from the fact it doesn’t work (a faulty drive in my opinion) and for the life of me I can’t get it to boot from an external drive or USB key (it doesn’t have a CD or DVD drive you know) it feels really solid, looks lovely, and is nice to handle (sounds a bit like the ideal partner to an i-phone 2.0 doesn’t it!).
Like most reviewers have stated , the keys are small (but blackberry users manage and they are larger than those keys) and the right shift key is tiny and means you can’t type an @ in the usual fashion. But the screen is nice, 3 USB slots, a monitor connector, Ethernet and earphones and mic connectors although it has both speakers and mic internally so you can Live Messenger without having to plug anything in.
On the whole, I would recommend it, providing you get one that boots up! I am also yet to try it with LogMeIn which is my preferred way of dealing with how to access emails, lots of passwords, specialist software and all that kind of thing when you are out and about. Possibly the screen is going to be too small to be able to work with for extended periods of time, but I’ll let you know when the replacement arrives and I have had chance to give it a proper testing, assuming that one doesn’t break on me as soon as I start urm ‘configuring’ it!
Further Update: So I have had the Dell Mini for about erm, wow nearly 12 months! It would never work with LogMeIn over the 3 dongle. To be fair Three were very helpful, until we took the dongle out and successfully used it in another one of my computers and were able to connect on LogMeIn without any problems, at this point they referred me to Dell, at which point I lost interest!
It is all to do with one of the browser settings, not remembering itself when you select the check box and hit Apply. I can’t remember which one it was now, and maybe ie 8 will have fixed the problem or it might work on Firefox browser instead, I just never got round to trying to sort it out again and tend to use the Mini more now to read the news in bed with my cup of tea in the morning.
It is too fiddly to use for really extended periods but it is great for checking your email when you’re out and about, or for a quick impulse surf when you can’t be bothered to turn the main pc on and you want to remind yourself what other films that actor or actress was in for example!I think one of these lcd monitors connected to this machine externally would work really well, because you could use it in the office and then just take it with you when you go out.
It’s a great little machine though and also works quite well down the pub, because I can even fit it in the pocket of my big coat, and that is proper cool, except it doesn’t like beer puddles much so I tend to avoid taking it most of the time, unless I know I’m going to need to log on, but then the pub has got a sexy new Mac which is already covered in beer so I prefer to use that (any excuse to get behind the bar really!)What is so magical about being able to go behind the bar at your local anyway? I suspect if I actually worked there it would soon wear off!
In summary though it has not had any hardware problems since the initial replacement was received. On the whole I have found that Dell kit tends to be pretty reliable anyway, especially when you are dealing with the more business based items whereas this is obviously more consumer focussed. With a Dell or most new PC’s if they are going to go wrong they will usually do so within the first 6 months of use and generally after that they will keep going until recommended service intervals such as changing the disks after a couple of years and that kind of thing.
It should be pointed out though that these mini Dell laptops/netbooks, call them what you will, do not having a regular hard disk drive inside them. A normal hard drive has a disk inside it that physically spins round and a ‘head’ which moves backwards and forwards over the sectors quite like the relationship between the stylus and the tracks on an old fashion vinyl record !
The hard drives within the Dell mini, and other netbooks too I should image, are solid state, that is to say they are rather like USB flash drives or memory keys. In fact I think from a picture I saw they look more like RAM memory chips all joined together than a single physical device. The advantage of using solid state memory over traditional hard drives is that they use less power, they are not as heavy and they are quieter. Much quieter. If you’re like me you will have noticed how computers have got a lot noisier over the last 10 years, as they have got more powerful.
My Dell Mini is blissfully quiet in comparison to any of my other computers, desktops or laptops. Although if you are auditorily hyper-sensitive to sound like I am then you can notice a very slight hum or whine when you give it something to do that requires it to access the hard drive. Most people probably won’t notice this but if you are familiar with the faint hum from your mobile phone charger or other devices of that ilk that transform power from one state to another then you might know what I am talking about. It certainly isn’t a problem though, although the power adapter for the machine itself does make some odd noises if you listen to it closely.
My favourite aspect of this machine is that in some it elicits the same response as having a small puppy or kitten out and about with you, especially down the pub where if you get it out to a bunch of girls you can hear the ooh and ahhh’s of girls who think something is cute! That is priceless!
Ten reasons why Northamptonshire Police have picked 03 numbers
September 29, 2009 by Jason58 · 3 Comments
You may have seen that Northamptonshire Police is now using an 03 non-emergency telephone number: 0300 111 222. The force follows in the footsteps of many UK constabularies that are now using 03 numbers, like the Metropolitan Police Service, Tayside Police and Staffordshire Police. Superintendent Bob Smart, head of the Force Communications Centre, recently commented that the move to an 03 non-emergency number is part of the drive to cont
inually improve the service provided to the public: “We have worked very hard over the last few years to improve our call handling procedures and the introduction of a single non-emergency number in 2006 was a significant step towards that. However, we are continually trying to improve our service and respond to the needs of our customers. The new number will not only be easier for people to remember, but it can also cost less for them to contact the police for assistance, wherever they are calling from.”. “Ofcom has specifically set aside the 030 range for public bodies and not-for-profit organisations and we were keen to make the move to the new number, with the associated benefits for our customers, as quickly as possible. For example the 030 numbers can be saved to telephone discount packages frequently offered by network providers. Our local consultation has identified that our communities are keen to see such benefits.”
Here are 10 reasons why 03 numbers are becoming a popular choice for UK police forces.
1. They meet the needs of the public as they cost the same to call as 01/02 numbers – even from a mobile. Research by one police force found that 75% of all their incoming calls are from mobiles.
2. There is an extensive range of easy to remember 03 numbers available that can complement the service (e.g. 0300 999 9333).
3. The public trust 0300 numbers as they are exclusively for public sector organisations.
4. Organisations can deal with callers more efficiently, gain valuable information about their specific 03 number (such as the fact in point 1) and ensure all calls are answered by the right person, first time.
5. It’s possible to record calls to a 03 number.
6. 03 numbers can easily move with the organisation if it relocates.
7. Organisations can control where they receive their calls, by rerouting their 03 number to any UK landline or even a mobile phone easily via the web/phone.
8. It’s possible to see the geographic location of callers and the busy periods of the organisation using online call statistics packages.
9. Callers can be queued, meaning that all important calls will be answered.
10. They can often be inexpensive to run if you seek out the provider with the most competitive offering in the market.
It’s evident that 03 is becoming the number one choice for public bodies, charities and UK businesses. It seems it won’t be long before everyone has someone with an 03 number in their phonebook.

Twitter Worm
August 31, 2009 by Jason58 · 5 Comments
Blink182Tweets.com is a safe way to keep up to date with band Twitter updates without leaving yourself open to malicious attacks that are currently going around Twitter.com
A “worm” spreading spam messages promoting another website was first introduced into Twitter in the early hours of Saturday.
Within hours it had spread across the network, infecting scores of accounts and forcing administrators to delete 10,000 messages to stop it infiltrating further.
Users spread the virus simply by clicking onto an infected page.
They then began unwittingly sending out messages – or “tweets” – to other users promoting the site StalkDaily.com.
Despite efforts to curb the virus, Twitter was hit by a second, more intense, bout of attacks later in the day and another early on Sunday.
Twitter then announced early on Monday that it was facing a new “manifestation” of the worm. Messages advised users not to click on links until the problem was rectified.
The website emphasised that no sensitive information such as passwords or telephone numbers had been compromised and suggested it would take legal action against the perpetrators.
A worm is a computer programme which spreads through a network by making copies of itself when users inadvertently click on something.
According to the Twitter news service BNO, a teenager from New York claimed responsibility for the worm “Mikeyy” saying that he had been bored.
He said that he had been trying to highlight ways in which the phenomenally popular site could be vulnerable to hackers.
“I did this out of boredom to be honest,” he was quoted as saying.
“I usually like to find vulnerabilities within websites and try not to cause too much damage.”
Twitter – a so-called “micro-blogging” service – has seen phenomenal growth in the last year rivalling Facebook and MySpace as one of the most popular social networking sites among British users.
It played a key role in the US election with candidates including Barack Obama posting messages on the site and British celebrities such as Stephen Fry have also become high profile users.
Users post short tweets either directly onto the site or by mobile phone.
These are then forwarded on to their network of friends and contacts.
Fax from the Internet,Local and International Internet Fax
August 16, 2009 by Jason58 · 4 Comments
We saved over a $160.00 a month on our business fax line.
We own a custom flag company and run it from our home for 15 years now. We have always had a phone line and a separate fax line. You know the type; scanner, printer and fax all in one. Been happy with it too, but with the recent economy we had to look at cutting expenses.
I started out by looking online to see how we could fax from the Internet using our DSL connection. I was surprised to learn that I didn’t even need an Internet fax program installed in my computer. I could also get rid of my land-line for the business as well as our fax line.
I used a company called Ring Central (through Virtual Phones page which I put below) 800 number that our customers can call us on and got the fax number as part of the package. Only drawback was we had to get a new number because we were out of the area for keeping our existing number, maybe you won’t have to. No problem, call customers and we put the new number on the old phone service recording with the phone company when we canceled.
Ring Central sent us all the stuff to hook it up and easy instructions to follow. In just over an hour we were up and running. We also got a 30 day free Internet fax number trial and same on the 800 number, then made our purchase at $24.99 for everything (800 and fax with 10 extensions). That saved us over $165.00 avg. per month!
There are many internet fax programs offered by various companies. Vonage is probably the most advertised but after doing a lot of research I found them to have major issues. There are even blogs about how bad their services can be, I’m cautious and didn’t want problems with my business.
I have been using my new 800 number and 32bit Internet fax for almost a 3 months now and had good luck with it. We lost service when our DSL has gone down or power is out (happens in ice storms) but our cell phone takes care of that issue. Customers can leave a message and faxes were just sent automatically again.
The the link below will provide more information about a free trial and the video shows just how easy it is. Hope you found this information useful!

How Do Prepaid Cell Phones Work?
July 14, 2009 by Jason58 · 2 Comments
A teenager and a cell phone may be one of a parent’s worst financial nightmares. Overage charges that incur when more than the allotted minutes are used per month can be downright ridiculous, and many parents find themselves with a bill that’s hundreds of dollars.
One way to avoid such pitfalls is to use prepaid cell phones. These types of prepayment cell phone plans, which don’t require a contract, are quite popular in Europe, and they are beginning to gain popularity in the United States as well. And they may not just be for those young people in your family who could tend to chat on and on without consideration of the consequences; prepaid cell phones can be an attractive alternative to contract plans for other individuals as well. One good alternative is to buy a Tracfone cellular phone .
But just how do prepaid cell phones work? There are a few different ways. Some companies that offer prepaid plans charge a basic rate that breaks down to a particular number of minutes. These simple and straightforward plans make it so easy to know exactly how much each minute on the phone is costing you – just divide the price by the number of minutes the plan gives you.
Another method of charging for prepaid cell phone use is a fixed charge for every day that the phone is used, and then charging per minute on top of that. This could be an excellent option for an elderly person who rarely used a cell phone, for instance, or for an extra phone in the car that’s only used for roadside emergencies.
Some prepaid plans allot you a certain amount of minutes per month; if these minutes aren’t used, you lose them. (By the same token, and back to the teens, once the minutes are used up that month, that’s it.) Other plans allow you to rollover unused minutes to the next month. There are many options out there, and you will need to analyze your type of cell phone usage with the various ways you could utilize prepaid cell phones. In any case, it’s worth looking into. You could save a bunch. If you buy a cheap used cellular phone with the plan you could save even more.
