Addicted of sending short messages to friends. Sending messages specially STD or STD is very costly. If I tell you that, sending messages on mobile is becoming free then you might call me mad but we are smart, we can find free alternative of sms.. Why would mobile companies allow us to send SMS for free?

Well, they are not allowing us to send free sms but we are allowing ourselves to do it.

These are the best free alternative of SMS

WhatsApp: Just install this free app and enjoy sending free messages and videos to anyone using whatsapp on their phone. If you are addicted to send sms or like to impress your girlfriend that you know ways to send free sms then use this lovely app. Very nice interface and quite easy to use.

KakaoTalk (Best free alternative of sms among all these): This is again like WhatsApp type of app but with more flexibility and usage. Whats app is not free for iPhone but KakaoTalk is free for every platform. Send text messages, video, photos. The best part with WhatsApp and KakaoTalk is that they support wifi too. That means if you are connected to a wifi then send unlimited messages without paying even for data charges.

NimBuzz (not ~~Numbuzz~~): This is again a good messenger for all your need. But its not like sms. Nimbuzz allows you to connect with many messenger services like gtalk, windows live, yahoo and now facebook chat too.

Among all these my personal choice is KakaoTalk. It scans your mobile numbers and tells you who all are using KakaoTalk and add them in your list so that you can contact them easily. KakaoTalk allows you to send message to a contact and whenever that person will connect his mobile to internet via packet data or wifi the message gets delivered. Thats really smart. These are my best choices of free alternative of sms. I send lot of sms to my friends i use one of them almost daily. Now it’s your time to try these free alternative of sms on your smartphone.

Why sending costly sms when you can send them for Free.

How to Block Spam Text Messages

We all use mobile a lot but sometimes this device becomes very irritating when some companies or a person send junk SMS. Sometimes I feels like killing them. But there is no escape from this situation because there is no govt policy to block these junk messages and that is why i am coming up with this article where i will tell you a sure – shot way to block these junk messages.

I have tried it on my mobile and can assure you that you can do it very easily too.

The trick is block these messages at your end because your service provider (like Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, Tata Indicom, Reliance etc.) can’t block these messages although they can do it.

So slap such spammers with this software called SMS blocker.

The features include:
• Unique anti spam logic- inbuilt intelligence to detect and block cunning spam SMS, automatically.
• ‘One-Click-Block’ to block in single click from home Screen.
• Fully customizable. Modify your blocking/allowing preferences as you want.
• Blocked SMS logs deleted automatically by the app itself, once that reach the limit of 100.
• Seamless Integration with phonebook, SMS inbox.
• Selective SMS block based on content, bulk spam SMS, sender’s title or a specific number.
• Detailed log of all blocked SMS.
• Blocked SMS storage to review & restore at your convenience.
• Insanely easy to set up and use.

Currently this software is FREE for andriod mobiles only.
For Nokia you need to buy it. Go to OVI store on your mobile search SMS Blocker and download it for Rs. 125/=

My Review:

I have used it and i am feeling very relaxed after installing it.

No more Junk messages on my device. I have got some junk messages which were sent from a mobile number and not by a company, I can easily add that number in block list.

If you are feeling irritated with such junk messages then i advise you to install this little smart piece of software.

Install Android Apps From PC or computer

Android lover knows that android devices are great and when it comes to installing apps on Android mobiles then that becomes awesome because of a little secret.

To install apps on our mobile devices we usually go to market, search app and then we install that. But if we are working on a PC then installing apps like the traditional way (Pick up your mobile go to market, search app, read reviews, install, give permissions etc.) becomes a pain.

But we have a nice solution for you. This little secret may be known to most of the advance android users but if you are a new user like i was few months ago then this will really surprise you.

Prerequisites:

Android mobile with internet (Wifi or 3G )

A Google account. (Same account you are using on your android device).

Ready for surprise !! Here we go.

Step 1: Switch ON your PC. (heheh. I know you are on a PC or a laptop right now).

Step 2: Go to -> Android market and make sure you are logged in with your google or gmail account.

Step 3: Search any app you like to install on your device. (There can be many ways to do this. I like to search the app on different sites who actually publish a detailed review and give market link for example this site -> Android Apps Review).

Step 4: You will see a install button to install the app. Click that.

Step 5: Confirm it by clicking INSTALL again.

Step 6: You will see this line “This app will be downloaded to your device shortly.”

If your device is connected to the internet then app will be installed within few seconds but if your device is offline then whenever it will come online again app will be installed automatically. Is it not nice!!

I always like to install apps like this. Searching apps on small screen is really tiring and google has done a great job by giving us this option, why not use that.

Now you know the little Android Apps Installation secret too

Connect Mobile | Cell Phone to PC and Call

Connect Mobile to PC and Call

Yesterday I was thinking to connect my Nokia E75 phone to my laptop via Bluetooth so that I can receive and make calls from my Laptop (by using laptop speaker and mic) and guess what… I succeeded!

It’s useful when you have to keep your phone on silent but don’t want to miss any calls… you will be able to see who is calling you on your laptop, without anybody else noticing it.

Remember, in this mode whenever someone calls, the phone neither rings nor vibrates, only shows the display on laptop.

What do you need?

1) A laptop with Bluetooth feature (I used Lenovo and Broadcom Bluetooth)

2) A smart phone (I used Nokia E75).

3) Nokia PC suite (for address book and to see who is calling).

The process to be followed is like this:

1)                  First we pair the phone with PC/ laptop.

2)                  Enable Bluetooth services (We need Headset Audio gateway)

3)                  Connect the phone with this Bluetooth service.

4)                  PC suite will be used to fetch the phone book and to see the call status on laptop as our Bluetooth won’t show who is calling but PC suite will.

Here are the Screenshots with Description

1) Pair phone with PC/ laptop:

2) Enable Headset Audio (Bluetooth) setting:

3) (i) Add a Bluetooth device (your smart phone):

Click Next and then Finish.

(ii) And now, connect the service with the Phone:

(Connect Mobile | Cell Phone to PC via Audio Gateway Service)

When your phone gets connected with this service the sign will become green.

So far we have been able to connect our phone to the PC/ Laptop.

(To check- Play any song on your phone and you will be able to listen to it on PC/Laptop speakers)

4) Use PC suite to receive / make a phone call via your PC/Laptop:

Now just call and discover the new way of talking without even touching your phone!

Now your Phone is connected to your Laptop / PC.

Use Laptop mic and speaker for make and receive phone calls.

Connect Mobile to PC and Call.
