Cell Phone Tips & Tricks

Free Directory

1-800-FREE-411 (800-373-3411) is a free directory service (ad supported). Use it to find numbers without the cost of regular 411 service. Also try Google by Voice, at 1-800-GOOG-411 (800-4664-411) which will provide business listings (but not residential). When you decide which you like best, put it in to speed dial for easy access. These calls will count as normal airtime on your cell phone plan, just like a regular call.

Blog by Phone

Take a picture or type some text and upload it to your blog via cell phone at Blogger Mobile, a part of Blogger.com. A great way to blog about events as they happen.

Flashlight By Cell Phone

Use your screen to light up a small area, for example, to find something dropped in the dark or to see a keyhole. Works best if you set your background to plain white.

Get Directions

Get maps, step by step directions, and photos, by using Google Mobile Maps or Wireless MapQuest.

Find My Cell Phone

Lost your phone? Give it a ring and listen. You can dial your number by another phone, or go to Where's My Phone, enter your number, and listen.
