Protect Cell Phone Privacy with Reverse Lookup

Many people don’t realize it, but there is currently a law on the books throughout the United States that forbids telemarketing firms from calling cell phones. Of course, this law isn’t always adhered to, just like telemarketing firms often ignore Do Not Call lists in hopes of increasing sales.

The Help is Coming

Now, a new tool is available to responsible citizens everywhere that looks to help put an end to unwanted telemarketer calls once and for all. Known as a reverse cell phone searches, this new Internet-based utility lets you get to the bottom of who is calling you so that you can directly contact the offending party and finally enjoy the peace and quiet you deserve.

Put a Permanent End

To perform a reverse cell phone lookup, all that is needed is the phone number that has been calling time and time again. New caller identification blockers used by most telemarketers successfully blocks the name recognition part of your caller ID, but usually not the number. Simply jot down the number that comes up and enter it into the search field on your most trusted reverse phone directory. The information you receive back will surprise you. Not only will you get the name of the company responsible, but you will also be given an address and alternate contact information, if available. This way, you can call the company behind the calls directly and put a permanent end to unwanted calls.

Up until very recently, people were left to use common search engines like Google to try to track down who was responsible for these unwanted calls. If you have ever performed a search for a cell phone number before using Google or Yahoo, you know first hand that the results are often lacking. This new form of search is far more effective thanks to the fact that private cell phone number databases are included in the search. You’ll be surprised at how responsive a telemarketer is when you contact them directly and ask them to remove your name from their call lists, especially if you are already on a Do Not Call Registry.

It goes without saying that our personal time is far too important to be spent hanging on up telemarketers. The time we spend with loved ones at home or out having fun should be cherished. Reverse cell phone search allows users to protect their private mobile phones from a barrage of frustrating, unwanted calls.

Hats off to Toshiba for making such a great and impressive device, the Toshiba TG01, one of the best Windows Mobile devices this year. So let’s get started.

The Toshiba TG01 is the first smartphone with a Qualcomm 1 GHz chipset, called Snapdragon, snapped under their hood. Toshiba claims that it will make the Toshiba TG01 considerably faster than any other smartphone currently on market. And also Toshiba promised the TG01 will “revolutionize the mobile entertainment world”. We’re sure about that, since the Toshiba TG01 managed to squeeze most of today’s must-have-features into their extremely slim body (only 9.9mm thick), such as a 3.1 MP auto-focus camera, a microSD cardslot for extra storage up to 16GB, a built-in accelerometer, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support, Wi-Fi, a built-in GPS receiver, HSDPA and HSUPA support, WindowsMobile-Pro operating system and Custom Toshiba 3D user interface, and a GIANT 4.1″ WVGA touchscreen display!

Besides the extreme chipset and massive display, users will be pleased with Toshiba’s custom 3D UI. It’s way more practical and fun to use. And thanks to the built-in accelerometer, the phone can accept gesture commands which brings more fun, for example a double shake of the phone sideways can do 5 available tasks such as open the dialer, ending a task, ending all task, jump to today’s screen, or simply to answer a call. There are more customization options to improve the user experience even further. But If you think running on such an extremely powerful chipset and a massive display will compromised the TG01’s battery life, you’re wrong. Toshiba claims it will last to 11.5 days in standby and 5 hours of talk time.

The only drawback is that the device is way too big and large for single-handed use. Users will have to use both hand to work with the TG01. But, personally, i don’t think it’s a drawback. A super fast chipset, a giant and sharp touchscreen display, nifty 3D UI and gesture control, and many other killer features, will make us forgot about the size problem. Right, people ? Way to go, Toshiba!

Ultrasonic Ringtone

Wanna hear something really cool? This one is a must for you! Well, If you ‘re a teenager, this one is definitely for you. Ever heard of mosquito ringtone? You know, ringtones that will enable you to receive text messages and phone calls in class without your teachers hearing them.

What Is It Anyways..

Alrite long story short, it’s a tone outside the audible range of hearing for most people over the age of 30. This means that you can get phone calls and receive text messages in class or school without teachers hearing it.
“The Mosquito”, as the product was named, took advantage of a curious medical fact that most adults (and kids) are unaware of. Natural adult hearing loss is particularly acute at higher frequency ranges and most adults can not hear the ultra high frequency ranges after a certain age due to the condition known as Presbycusis.

Um,.. Presbycusis what?

The principle behind Presbycusis is a biological fact that hearing experts refer to as an ‘aging ear’. Medical scientists state that starting at around age 20, the human ear begins to lose its ability to hear tones in the highest human-range frequencies (18-20 khz), and this condition progressively gets worse the older you get. Most adults over 40 or 50 exhibit some symptoms of this condition. Young adults are usually asymptomatic since most human reproduced audio waves and communication takes place in the range of 200 and 8,000 hertz. For this reason, the deterioration of the ability to detect ultra high frequencies generally go undetected.

Lil bit History

The history of Mosquito Ring Tone dates back to 2005 when a British inventor by the name of Howard Stapleton came up with an ingenious idea to drive away teens through ultra high frequency sounds much like how a dog whistle would affect dogs. It was an idea to make the storefront very uncomfortable for the loitering teens while leaving the money spending adult customers unaffected.

As with any inventive good idea, sooner or later someone is going to use it for something other then the original intended purpose. In this case, some equally inventive teens in the inventor’s hometown (Birmingham) caught on to what the company was doing and decided to put turn the idea into something they could use. They took the ultra sonic frequency and converted into to a cell phone ringtone which they aptly named “Teen Buzz”. As such, the “adult proof” ringtones known as the mosquito ringtone was born.

Teens learned they could hear each others phones ringing at school but their teachers couldn’t. How cool is that! Well, told you it’s cool! Alrite, here ’s the place you ‘ll gonna get it for free, FreeMosquitoRingtones.org.
This place loaded with Free Mosquito Ringtones (..duh) and free ringtones. They even have this Online hearing test, you know a test to test out your ability to hear high frequency tones.

So, test out your hearing level, pick ringtones, and welcome to the world beyond the adult ears!
One word for this one. Awesome!

Sony Ericsson W980

This Gagdet has many features, such as HSDPA, 3.2 Mpix camera, motion sensors, Touch sensitive keys, Java and others, but the most interesting of this gadget is can associated with the music with Walkman Player 3.0. The different with the others series is W980 bring Clear Experience technology with clear bass and clear stereo feature and this make W980 is the first gadget that bring this new feature.

From the beginning I very interested trying the ability W980 music. In addition because this is a music gadget and the promo said that W980 awarded Best Audio from TestFactory’s. At the beginning, I feel there is no difference about the quality with the previous version of Walkman player, but Once I activate the Clear Bass feature… I change my mind.
Base on bass boom power Clear Bass still less of Mega Bass, but Clear Bass to bring the balance of the bass make the voice sound so clear.
Support an external screen and touch sensitive buttons make me easily to control the walkman feature in order to play the music. Key touch sensitive responsive enough, so I don’t need to press repeatedly. The external screen also unique because of the accelerometer make every time I change the position of the phone then Walkman icons on the screen and the visualization follow the position of the phone gadget. Wait for the flickering light at the end of the fold, flickering lights follows the rhythm of the songs that being played.
