1. Call your cell phone from your land line or another person's cell phone. Listen for the ring. This will only work if your cell phone is on and nearby.

Look in your local lost and found or police station if you misplaced your phone in a public place.
2. Contact your phone provider and ask if your phone has a GPS tracking system. Most cell phones have GPS capabilities but because GPS is generally meant to be used for emergency purposes it may not be properly enabled. Your phone may be set to emergency GPS, which will allow your phone to be traceable only during an emergency 911 call, or to constant GPS. The GPS works by receiving signals from satellites and using those signals to calculate its precise position on the earth.
3. Use free GPS tracking software such as InstaMapper or Mologogo that is compatible with your phone. You will need to register your phone with the software. When you download tracking software, the website will have a section containing the types of phones that are compatible with the software (see Resources). You can also enable tracking software through your phone provider for a fee.

If you want to use one number for personal and the other for business, having a Google Voice number and your original cell number both ring your one cell phone allows you to keep business and personal calls separate. To set this feature up on your phone, make your Google number a contact in your phone. If possible, assign a special ring tone for your Google number contact. With some phones, you can also assign a caller ID picture that will appear whenever calls from a certain number reach your phone.

Most toll-free providers have search tools on their web sites that will tell you whether a number is in use or not. For local vanity numbers, you'll need to contact your local phone company.

6. Contact the toll-free provider or local phone company. You can find their contact number on the company's web site. Some companies also have online forms that you can use to apply.

What Is the Best Free Way to Look Up Cell Phone Numbers Online?

Free Look-up Sites
There are a number of websites where you can look up information for free based on a cell phone number or a person's name and location. Unfortunately, these sites give you very little information for free. The most popular sites will give you the location that the area code of the number indicates if you look up a phone number. If you look up a person's name, it will give you information on where that person has had registered cell phone numbers and who their relatives are, but access to any other information requires fee. However, what is available for free can be very helpful in obtaining more details for free.
Filling in the Details for Free
If you are determined to get more information without paying for it or without leaving a record that you requested it, there are some searching tactics you can use to try to fill in the gaps. The process involves a series of increasingly narrowed and specialized Web searches. By using the information obtainable through the free look-up, like where the number originated, the person's location or their relatives, you can use clever search tactics to piece the puzzle together.If you are looking up a number, the first thing to do is simply search for the number online and see what you get. You may find that someone has listed the number under his or her name on a personal or professional website or perhaps when answering an online ad. If your search returns results for similar numbers but not the exact one you are looking for, refine the search by adding quotation marks around the number. You can also try searching the number with various combinations of dashes, parentheses, spaces and periods in case it was listed in a certain style. If you still do not have the information you are looking for, take the search to other search engines. A good place to try is social networking sites' built-in search engines.The search tactics remain basically the same if you are searching for a phone number for a particular name. You may try different types of queries, for instance 'John Doe, phone number' or 'Jane Doe, contact.' The idea is the same: You are trying to get specific information on a website by systematically refining your search criteria. Based on the information you obtained from the free look-up, you can refine your search by location and the person's listed relatives. When searching by someone's name, social networking sites are especially fruitful.

Other abbreviations use an 'X' to stand for part of a word as in WX (weather) or TXS (thanks) or they use a few letters from a word to convey its meaning as in XLNT (excellent). Finally, some abbreviations are designed to express curse words, such as WTF (What the f***).

How to Send and Receive SMS by the Internet

1. Send and receive SMS messages over the Internet via an email client. People generally compose, send and receive email messages using a browser-based (Yahoo! Mail) or application-based (Microsoft Outlook) email client. An email address is made up of a user name and domain, such as 'YourName@EmailProvider.net.' To email a text message to a cell phone, users format the recipient's address in the same format, with the exception of the name: 'Recipient'sCellNumber@CellProvider.net.' This cell phone 'email' address is compatible with the 'TO' field in most email clients. After users compose the email and click the 'Send' button, the email service provider will forward the message to the cell phone, in the form of a text message. In turn, cell providers can usually return (Reply) the recipients message back to the email sender.
2. Leverage instant messenger technology to send and receive SMS messages. Instant messaging applications are usually included with the native operating system and are also available to download and install for free. Usually, both parties need to have the same or 'compatible' instant messenger program installed to send and receive messages. However, many major developers, such as Yahoo! and Windows Live, include SMS messaging functions in the list of menu options. After users input the recipient's cell phone number, they can then type a short message that will then be forwarded as a text message. The recipient can reply back to the same message and it will show up in the IM window.
3. Adapt existing Internet-capable applications to send and receive SMS messages. One purpose of Internet browsers, such as Firefox and Chrome, is to retrieve Web pages from websites. Internet connection managers support basic access to the Internet. However, for example, Verizon Wireless hosts a Web page that allows users to send text messages via the browser. AT&T Wireless's 'Communication Manager 9.0' application allows subscribers to send and receive text messages over the Internet.

How to Get a Free iPhone Upgrade (Even Under Contract)

1.
Brand new phones sell on eBay much better than used ones. If there's is a defect in your phone that the Apple store can't fix, they will replace it for free. If you've spent any time at the Genius Bar watching repairs, you'll notice they swap out far more iphones than they actually fix. Maybe the screen has some burn in, the battery life doesn't hold up, or the headphone jack is acting strange. If you're having any kind of problem at all, bring your phone to the Apple. They'll fix it for free or they'll give you a new one. Either way you're better off than before.
2.
Before you try to sell on eBay, unlock that phone for other carriers! This process (known as Jailbreaking) will allow the phone to work with any GSM carrier that supports SIM cards. This is the real trick to getting a good price for your phone. It'll increase demand and boost the amount of bids tremendously. You'll even open up the possibility of international bidders. The unlocking process is simple - run the QuickPwn software on your iPhone and it'll be unlocked in minutes. It's ridiculous how easy it is.
3.
Now that you've done the Jailbreak, it's time to sell on eBay. I would recommend a 5 day auction, a good picture of your phone, and the original box if you still have it. The real selling point is that it's unlocked, so make that clear in the listing. Any GSM carrier with SIM cards will work! This will also allow international bidders to use the phone, so consider shipping internationally to make the most money. It's likely that your phone will sell to someone from your country anyways, but the international bids really boost the end price. To help that exposure, also check the option to display your auction on international eBay sites.
4.
A lot of these things sell on eBay, so when you're setting up your auction it will be to your advantage to use some featured listing options. These can help your auction stand out from all the others. There's several types of featured listings, but the $10 option (to make your auction appear at the top of the search results) is probably good enough. You can add more options, but be aware that they increase the price. Use some strategy and save yourself money.
5.
Don't list anything but the bare minimum accessories with your phone. Include the cable to connect it to your computer and maybe the headphones. If you still have the original box, throw that in as well. Make sure to include it in the photos for the auction. Any other accessories you have (a dock, the wall charger, or even the headphones) can be sold separately in their own auctions. They won't sell for much, but every little bit helps.
6.
If you played your cards right, the auction will end at roughly the price of the latest model (the one you're hoping to buy). Experienced users who sell on eBay have even been able to get a high enough price to upgrade to a larger size. Check the completed listings to see what worked for them. If you have difficulty trying to sell on eBay, consider an alternative site like Craigslist. There you can post your phone for a high price and wait patiently for a buyer to come along paying cash.

Most smart phones, including the iPhone, have the ability to connect to a vehicle via an auxiliary cable inserted into the auxiliary port.

Not all Tahoes have an AUX input; whether the Tahoe has an AUX input is based on the year and trim level of the vehicle.

How to Send an SMS to Get a Location

1. Open 'New message' on your phone to create a text message. If you are searching for directions, enter 'From' and then type in your current location, which may be as specific as a street address and city, or just a city and state. Enter 'to' and then indicate the end destination.
2. Search for businesses, instead of directions, by entering the business name, as well as the city and state of its location, in the body of the text message. If you do not have a specific business name, but are looking for a particular type of business in a given area, like pizza parlors, enter 'pizza' and then the city and state in which you want to find businesses related to pizza.
3. Find a map of your current location by entering 'map' into the text-message body, and then the street you are currently on, as well as the city and state.
4. Click 'Send' and enter '466453' to send your search query through Google SMS. Click 'Send' again and wait for your results. When you are notified of text messages, open them to see the directions. You may receive a link as a result, such as when searching for a map. To open the link, make sure that Web browsing is enabled on your phone, and click on the link to open it.
