Cellphone tips

Cellphone tips 12/08/2003 11:39 AM

I have a cellphone with Cingular, and opted to get the extra line for 9.99 a month (a good deal). What I learned is this (also true with Verizon): if you get a phone or an extra line, the first year, you cannot cancel the contract. Well, you can, but it costs more to cancel than to keep it open. In this case, they charge 200$ to cancel the contract, versus $80 to keep it open 8 more months, after which cancelling is free.

By the way, if you're still with Verizon, consider Cingular. They seem distinctly less evil, for now.

Buying prostitutes. Nicholas Kristof (of the NY Times; reg. req.) bought the freedom of two young Cambodian prostitutes in order to return them to their villages... but it wasn't as simple as you might think. It's easy to be cynical (yes, he's using it as grist for columns; yes, it's a drop in the bucket), but isn't it better than doing nothing? Anyway, it's a fascinatingly messy story. (He discusses why he picked these particular girls, and addresses some of the moral issues, her e—scroll down to January 20.)

Cellphone jammer

Cellphone jammer 11/15/2003 01:14 PM
The SH066P Personal Cell Phone Jammer is disguised as a phone, has an effective radius of 10-15 yards, and comes in US and worldwide frequency-flavors. They're illegal to use in most places, but not illegal to possess, build or sell. I'm as bugged by mobile abuse as the next person, but using one of these strikes me as a mcuh greater breach of the social contract than talking too loud or subjecting your coachmates to the default Nokia ring.

Unlock your GSM Cellphone

Unlock your GSM Cellphone 05/27/2004 01:58 PM

I was recently overseas and had my GSM T-Mobile phone with me. I figured I would run out get a pre-paid sim card and have local cell service while in the country I was in. To my surprise I could not get the SIM card to work in the phone. I was a bit pissed. But to my surprise a friend of mine sent me a link to this article and now I have the unlock code to my cell phone and when I am overseas again I will get a local pre-paid SIM card and be in business.

Coke Via Cellphone

Coke Via Cellphone 08/19/2004 07:12 PM

So to encourage Japanese people to actually spend 120 yen (about $1.09) on a single can of soda, Coca-Cola today announced the "Cmode 2" vending machine, which allows customers with cellular phones to purchase drinks "cashlessly" one of three ways - two-dimensional barcodes, infrared, and the FeliCa contactless IC system. Though cashless "Cmode" vending machines have been in various places throughout Japan since April of 2002, these are the first vending machines to support contactless IC as a method of transfer.

With drink names like "Qoo," "SCORPION," and "Lovebody," who could resist?

A Korean outfit has announced a cell-hone charger that also disinfects the handset. I need one of these for airport touchscreen check-in kiosks, which always seem to be covered in a thin film of Burger King and mucous.

According to the company, the germ-killing products are equipped with an airtight container and a special lid on top of the normal charger’s body to sterilize the digital gadgets during recharging.
