How to Find a Blocked Telephone Number

1. Let the call go to voice mail. The easiest way to find a blocked phone number is to let the call go to voice mail, then listen to the message. Often, people leave their names, phone numbers and reasons for their calls in messages.
2. Redial the call. Many landline and cell phones have 'Redial' buttons---simply press the Redial button after the incoming blocked call. If a person answers, explain you received a blocked call from that number and politely request that person's name and phone number. It may be you get that person's voice recording, in which he identifies his phone number. If your phone doesn't have a Redial button, check your phone documentation for a redial feature, or contact the phone manufacturer and inquire if your model has a redial feature.
3. Press *69. In North America, many landline and cell phone carriers offer this code, which (depending on your carrier) might charge a fee per use. You must press *69 immediately after the blocked call, as this code works only with the last incoming call. For some carriers, you will hear a recording with data about the last incoming call (the phone number, time and date of the call) and be prompted if you'd like to return the call (References 1). Some carriers do not provide this recording, but instead place a call back to the last incoming call phone number (in which case you can either ask the person who answers for her phone number, or listen to the voice message which may contain the phone number). Contact your carrier (whose phone number is on your monthly statements) to find out if they offer *69.
4. Purchase a phone number unmasking service. One such service is TrapCall, which unmasks blocked caller IDs, instead displaying the caller's name and/or phone number. For a free trial, go to Trapcall.com, press the 'Try Trapcall free!' button in the lower left of the web page, and follow the instructions.
5. Purchase an unblocking service. One such service is Unblock Private Numbers that forwards your incoming blocked calls (including those marked 'private') to a toll-free number that unmasks the blocking and returns the caller's name and/or phone number to your caller ID. To sign up for this service, go to Unblockprivatenumbers.com, scroll down to 'Step By Step Instructions,' click the 'Click here' link in Step 1, and follow the instructions.

What Are the Differences Between Twitter SMS?

Interface
Although desktop software programs like Skype and Yahoo! Messenger are capable of sending SMS text messages to phones, you almost exclusively use a cellphone to send and receive text messages. On the other hand, it's possible to use Twitter not only from your laptop or desktop computer, but also on an Internet-ready mobile phone. If your phone doesn't have Internet, you can update your Twitter -- and view others' updates -- via SMS text message, an overlap between the two technologies.
Scope and Influence
One of Twitter's key features is the concept of 'Following' -- each user 'follows' other users and a certain number of other users, which may or may not be among those he or she follows, follow that user. As a result, each message a Twitter user sends out has the potential to reach hundreds or even thousands of users, depending on how many users follow him or her. SMS text messages, on the other hand, are generally sent from person-to-person.
Purpose
Twitter and text messaging also differ in their intended purpose. While people send SMS text messages to one another mostly to privately communicate specific messages and feelings, Twitter has a wide range of applications. These include posting multimedia, advertising businesses and generating publicity. It's possible to send direct, private messages on Twitter, although this tool is arguably secondary to the main Twitter feed -- and the public tweets users post to it.
Cost
Although many cellphone plans these days include the option to add unlimited text messages for a fixed monthly fee, text messaging is, at its root, a service which incurs cost. Twitter, on the other hand, is completely free to use. If you do access Twitter from a cellphone that doesn't have Internet access, the tweets you send to Twitter via text may incur a charge or count against your monthly allotment if you haven't signed up for an unlimited plan.

Chat Services

Choose 'Save' to add that person to your buddy list menu, then right-click their newly-added name to bring up the new menu.
3. Look for an option that says 'Send SMS,' 'Send message to cell,' or 'Text Message (SMS),' and select that option. Enter their phone number when prompted, then type a message that says who you are in the box, since it won't automatically have your name. Hit 'Send.'
4. Wait for your friend to send you a message back. By sending them a message, you've given them a number that they can use to send a message to your computer.
Email
5. Give your email address to the person you want to receive SMS messages from.
6. Instruct your friend to use your email address in place of your phone number when sending the SMS message.
7. Look for messages in your email inbox that are delivered from a phone number rather than from an email address.

How to Avoid Cell Phone Ringtone Scams

1. Avoid free ringtone websites. When you grab a ringtone from these sites cyber-hackers can attach a virus with them. These viruses can steal any personal information on your phone including contacts and pictures.
2. Stay away from peer-to-peer ringtone sharing sites. While free ringtones are offered here, you're again setting yourself up to get scammed. Many hackers target these types of websites to install viruses on your phone.
3. Be wary of free ringtone commercials. According to these ads all you have to do is send a text to a certain number then you have unlimited free ringtones. What they don't mention is that sending that text usually signs you up for their subscription service which will cost you $8 to $10 per month.
4. Dodge the subscription service if given the option. As mentioned in Step 3 sometimes subscribing is automatic. If it isn't, stay away from anything where you have to enter your phone number or address.
5. Read the fine print. A deal too good to be true usually is. Don't be impulsive and sign up for anything before you've had a chance to review all the details. Know what you're getting and what you'll be paying for the service.
6. Know the privacy policy. Read it before you give out any personal information. Know what this company plans to do with that information and then decide if you want them to have it.

How to Send Cute SMS

1. Don't think too hard about your SMS. The more you think about it, the more forced and less natural it will seem.
2. Keep it short and simple. You're not writing a long novel about what you've been up to today. You can tell your significant other more detail later. So a quick, cute SMS doesn't necessarily have to have a lot of substance.
3. Personalize it. Mention something specific about their day. Rather than 'hope work's going well,' you could write 'i hope the lab is treating you well' (if the recipient works in a lab).
4. Make them laugh. People respond better to things that stimulate their emotions, and laughter is one of the easier emotions to stimulate through a text.
5. Include a humorous quote or joke. Examples can be found in the Resources section below, but keep your ears peeled throughout the day in case someone tells you a joke that your texting partner may enjoy.
6. Send a picture. Most phones have cameras, and a picture of yourself makes for a very cute text. You could even combine a picture with the above steps by writing a cute note on a piece of paper, taking a picture of yourself holding it, then sending the whole thing to your partner.

Best Way to Find Who a Phone Number Belongs To

Reverse Phone Number Lookup and Other Web Searches
The web provides plenty of opportunities for anyone wishing to find out who a phone number belongs to. The obvious first step is to enter the phone number into your favorite search engine and see if there are any results. If the number belongs to a business or if it is a publicly listed phone number, it will show up in a web search.There are also reverse lookup services. These are websites where individuals can search for contact information using names, addresses and/or telephone numbers. With reverse lookup services, enter the phone number to receive the name and address behind the phone number. However, this information doesn't come free, or cheap. Some reverse lookup services cost $40 to $50 to use. Many will give you names, addresses and telephone numbers -- if this information is available -- at a cost. Even the reverse lookup websites promising free service will charge some sort of fee for complete information, but you might at least get a name for free.
Call the Phone Company
If there is a number on your phone bill and you're not sure who it belongs to, call your telephone provider and ask for the information. The provider will give this information if the number was dialed from your home. However, the company will not release this information for random requests.
Other Ways to Find Out Who Owns a Phone Number
Don't discount the obvious. Call the number to find out who it belongs to. Explain to the person on the other end why you are calling. Not everyone will readily give out his name or other information, but if you have a valid reason for wanting to know this number, the other party can be helpful.If you are being harassed, contact the police. If there is a legitimate threat, they will help to find out the phone number so you can go to court for a cease and desist or restraining order.
Privacy Laws
Thanks to various privacy laws, it's not as easy to find out who owns an unlisted number as it used to be. If it's a legal matter, your attorney or the courts can help you. If it's not important and you can't find out through a web search or by calling, it's might be best to respect the owner's privacy.

1. Visit the Paypal website and sign up for a free account. Not only will you be able to receive money as a merchant, but you will be able to send money and shop online using Paypal as your payment medium. Click the button to sign up for an account.
2. Choose your country and language and click the 'business' link to sign up as a business or merchant account. You will also be asked to choose a payment solution. Click the phrase that best fits your needs, such as 'Paypal as an additional payment option'.
3. Fill out the forms with your business information and click the radio buttons for the type of things you will want Paypal to do for you. You can use Paypal to sell in online marketplaces or at your own website. Follow all the steps.
4. Link your Paypal directly to your business bank account with the options provided. This will take a couple days because you will be asked to verify your bank account by checking your bank statement and revealing to Paypal what small amounts of money they deposited into your account.
5. Link your account to your phone number as well. This is an important step so you can receive payments through SMS directly to your phone. Click the small 'profile' link and 'add or edit phone number'. Enter the business phone number you wish to use and click the 'link' button to link the phone number to the Paypal account. You will need to confirm your phone number by pulling up the text message sent to your phone and typing in the code to your Paypal account that you received in the message.

6. Instruct your customers how to send money so that you will receive it through an SMS message. The customer will need a Paypal account also. He should log in to his account and hit the button for 'send money'.
7. The customer will enter the phone number you gave him in the first field, type in the amount of money to send you, and click the correct radio button that allocates it as a purchase of goods or services.
8. He can then type in a message to you if he wishes and confirm the money to be sent. You will receive an SMS to your phone that states you have been sent money. You can use a Paypal application on your phone, if you have a smartphone, to put the money directly in your bank account. Otherwise, it will sit in your Paypal account until you need it.
