How to Send an Anonymous Text Message
1. First the bad news. You can't block you number while sending a text from your phone. (Unless you have an iPhone or G1 and use an app). The good news is there are services you can use online to send an anonymous text to anyone in the US.
2. One service you can use is at Textem.net Once there you will be prompted to enter your recipients phone number, the mobile carrier, your message, and to prevent bots, a Captcha. The person receiving the text will see that it came from Anonymous@textem.net
3. You can also create an account at Textem.net and that way your recipient can text you back without having to give out your number. This feature is also handy if you don't have immediate access to your cell phone.
4. One other option you can use is to send an email to the phone that can be viewed as a text. Now, this will show the email address it was sent from, but email addresses are free, so feel free to create one just for this purpose. Each carrier has a different format, I will show examples of the major carriers:Alltel[10-digit phone number]@message.alltel.comExample: 7025551234@message.alltel.comAT&T (formerly Cingular)[10-digit phone number]@txt.att.netExample: 7025551234@txt.att.netBoost Mobile[10-digit phone number]@myboostmobile.comExample: 7025551234@myboostmobile.comNextel (now part of Sprint Nextel)[10-digit telephone number]@messaging.nextel.comExample: 7025551234@messaging.nextel.comSprint PCS (now Sprint Nextel)[10-digit phone number]@messaging.sprintpcs.comExample: 7025551234@messaging.sprintpcs.comT-Mobile[10-digit phone number]@tmomail.netExample: 7025554567@tmomail.netVerizon[10-digit phone number]@vtext.comExample: 7025551234@vtext.comVirgin Mobile USA[10-digit phone number]@vmobl.comExample: 7025551234@vmobl.com
How to Read an SMS From a Mobile Phone Online
1. Select 'Menu' and 'Messages' or 'Messaging' on the sender's cell phone.
2. Click 'Compose New' or 'New Message.' In the 'To' section, enter the recipient's e-mail address. Enter the body of the message in the 'Text' section.
3. Click 'Send.'
4. Open your computer's web browser and navigate to your e-mail client. Log-in and click 'New E-mail.' Click on the text message to read it.
How to Locate a Cell Phone with GPS
1. Start with a GPS-enabled phone. These specifically have GPS capabilities and run the Java program that is needed for tracking. Though most cell phones are equipped with the GPS chip, they aren't easily accessible by the consumer. Nextel/Sprint phones such as Boost Mobile are especially designed for GPS tracking by the consumer.
2. Register on a site that offers the free program you need to activate and run on the phone platform. Check out Mologogo's home page for easy access to these free programs. Go to the main page, and click 'Sign up now.' Type a user name, first and last name and your email address and create your password in the provided cells. On the next page, click the agreement box and choose a download that corresponds to the kind of phone you're using, such as a candy bar phone or clam shell phone.
3. Save the download to your computer and next download the provided installation software. Connect your computer and phone with the cable, which starts the uploading process of the appropriate software to the phone.
4. Navigate to the phone's 'Menu' section to install uploaded. Choose 'Mologogo' and click 'OK.' It then displays the memory finding satellites that correspond to the phone. Choose 'Preferences' and enter your login name and password. A map appears showing the coordinates of the phone and length of time in that location.
5. Access this information online miles away from the phone. By using the Mologogo homepage, you can view the phone location and time of last 100 points of destination via Google maps. Test this system by giving the phone to someone, logging on and viewing their destinations.

How to Find Someone's Cell Number for Free
1. Contact mutual friends that you and the person you are trying to locate have in common. Ask the mutual friend if he has an updated phone number for this person. If the person is not comfortable with giving you the number, ask that he take your number and have the person you are trying to locate call you to give you the cell phone number.
2. Call the home phone number if you know it. Listen for an answering machine if no one picks up. Wait to hear if the cell phone number is listed on the answering machine as an alternative call-back option.
3. Sign up for a people-search service such as White Pages, People Search or Spokeo. These services list home phone numbers and cell phone numbers. Find numbers using the name of the person you are trying to locate. The more information you have, the easier it will be to locate the cell phone number if it is listed.
How to View Blocked Cell Phone Numbers
1. The first step in viewing blocked cell phone numbers is to sign up online by going to trapcall.com and click on the 'Sign Up Now' button. Then, click on 'Fly trap' package, which is free. Once you are done signing up, make sure to add your cell phone number, phone carrier, and email address. Agree to the terms and click Next.
2. You will soon get a set of instructions, so you will need your cell phone and dial in the numbers they ask. Once you place the call, an info screen will come up. You can dismiss it by clearing it out. Another set of instructions will follow, so punch those numbers into your cell phone and press enter again.
3. You will receive a phone number from your cell phone, and you will need that number to enter it into the website. When you're done, press NEXT.
4. They will send you a voice mail to your phone, and provide you with the confirmation code that you need to proceed. Once you obtain it, punch it in into the website and continue on!
5. Once everything has been set up, you will receive a longer code, which will reroute where your calls go to. In other words, when someone calls you, their number will go to their service and come back to you, unblocking the cell phone number. Once you get the digits in there, press send and it will reroute everything.
6. Now you are ready to go! Confirm your info and test it out! Reject the unknown cell number, give it a few seconds to reroute, and your will be able to view the unknown number!

How to Unlock a Smart Phone
Unlock a Smart Phone for Routine Use
1. Confirm that the phone locks by trying to use it. For example, a locked phone prevents the user from making calls. The locked mode also stops others from tampering with personalized data such as emails.
2. Press any major button to illuminate the display screen and reveal the word 'unlock.' The display screen usually lights up when the home or menu key is pushed.
3. Follow screen instructions. Press the designated button to activate the 'unlock' command. On some phones this means pushing the asterisk key. Unlocking the smart phone prepares it for making calls and other routine actions.
Unlock a Smart Phone to Add Third-Party Applications
4. Contact organizations such as unlockmotorolas.com and unlocktotalk.com to purchase software or codes to unlock smart phones. Inquire about any possibility of damaging the handset by using their products. Follow their specific instructions (see Resources below).
5. Consider the option of buying an unlocked phone directly from the handset manufacturer. Compare prices and read online smart phone reviews before purchase.
6. Ask about a warranty or any other type of guarantee.
How to Get Totally Free Java Games Sent To My Phone
1.
First you need to identify the make and model of your phone. This is essentially important. You need to find out of your phone even accepts java games, and if it can, who makes free ones that can be sent to your phone. Just saying 'Nokia' isn't enough, you need to have 'Nokia e580'. The model phone is equally as important as the brand for finding compatible Java games.
2.
Once you know what kind of phone you have, the first thing you should try is a VERY specific google search. Typing the right term into Google is vitally important to set your results apart. Your search should look like this: ['Full-Phone-Name' 'Java Games' free] {don't include brackets}. For some of the more popular phones, this should get you some access to those free games. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work.
3.
When the Google search doesn't work, you need to look elsewhere. MobileRated @ http://www.mobilerated.com/ is a fantastic resource with lots of games directed at specific phones. You do have to download some stuff, but nothing is harmful to your computer, just a bit time consuming. Nevertheless, the games are free, so a little bit of hassle is to be expected.
4. Most sites will send these games to your email address. Some cell phones let you download games from your email, but others require that you send it to a specific place from your email to be able to access it from your phone. Check your user manual or contact the manufacturer to find out the exact process by which your phone gets new games. Good luck!
