How to Create a Chat Site for Free


1. XAT chat service provides free chat rooms and groups. Creating a registered account takes only a few seconds, and requires only an active e-mail. XAT's chat rooms are coded in Java, as is the standard. However, these chat rooms have many features that other chat providers don't, such as chatroom backgrounds, smiley additions and an extensive font collection.
2. 99Chats is a free chat widget-creation website. This software is designed to embed in your website. Like other chat sites, 99Chats requires an active e-mail and username to register. An interesting addition to this chat site is the ability to choose from a large list of themes. These vary from color options to theme options like 'Ocean Land.'
3. TinyChat is one of the few chat-creation sites that doesn't require registration to be used. All that is required is to enter the desired name of the chat on the front page, and the chat site is instantly created. Users can login to your chat site using logins for Facebook, Twitter or MySpace or simply using an anonymous username. TinyChat, unlike some of its competitors, uses Flash to create its chat pages, rather than Java.

How to Troubleshoot Skype SMS


1. Change the country code if you're calling internationally but have accidentally selected the wrong one. Skype offers a convenient drop-down menu of country codes, which means you don't have to remember the code itself, but you must select a country's name in order to text it.
2. Make sure the phone number is formatted correctly. For example, if you're texting a cell phone in Brazil, include the two-digit area code before the eight-digit phone number.
3. Check the phone number itself. If your SMS text message fails, it could be that you're attempting to send to a number that doesn't exist.
4. Ensure you have Skype credit in your account. Skype's rates for SMS messages are fixed -- and generally low -- but if you don't have enough credit to send a message, sending fails.
5. Log out of Skype, quit the program, re-launch it and log back in. As is the case with any software malfunction, SMS sending issues may constitute glitches that simply require a quick re-start to be fixed.

How to Locate an Unpublished Phone Number for Free


1. Go to public utility companies such as electric, water or gas. Bring the address and name of the person whose number you wish to locate. If trying to find a number outside the region where the utilities are located, phone them and ask if they can provide the number that is attached to the name and address.
2. Present this information to the desk clerk. Ask if it is possible to get a phone number to go with the name and address. According to Chuck Chambers, author or 'The Private Investigator Handbook: The Do-It-Yourself Guide to Protect Yourself, Get Justice, or Get Even,' municipal water-utilities are among the most lenient in giving out this information.
3. Employ the services of free online reverse-phone directories. Enter in the information you have, such as address or name attached to the number, and wait for the results. Not all reverse-directories are equal. Find one that does comprehensive searches through public utilities, former addresses and public records (see Resources).

How to Get Free Ringtones at No Charge


1. Compose your own ringtones for free on your phone. Your phone might already contain factory-installed software for creating ringtones. Check the multimedia section of your cell phone and select the 'Music and Sounds' option. Select the option for ringtones. If your phone contains built-in software for composing ringtones, follow the directions accordingly.
2. Contact your cell phone service provider and ask if they provide any free ringtones. Verify that the ringtones are compatible with your phone.
3. Read the fine print before downloading ringtones. Some sites require you to sign up for a product or make a purchase before downloading ringtones. Avoid signing up for a free trial period to receive free ringtones. Download free ringtones using legitimate sites such as Myxer.com, Freemobilefun.net and Iwfr.net.com.
4. Get free ringtones from your friend's phone. If you like ringtones on your friend's phone, it can send his free ringtones to your phone, as long as both phones share Bluetooth technology.
