In recent years, 900 telephone numbers, in which the caller pays a fee per minute, have been used by television stations to elicit viewer participation and to offer services, such as current weather conditions. But beware of swindlers who want to lure you to call a 900 number without giving you anything in return for your money.

These swindlers may promise you a product or service, such as credit repair or a travel package, but what you actually receive will be quite disappointing. Those with bad credit hoping to receive a credit card by calling a 900 number might receive a list of banks to which they can apply for such a card. Those who are told to call because they’re winners in a sweepstakes receive nothing at all. But you’ll be even more unhappy with the charges that appear on your phone bill–sometimes $30 or more.

In the past, swindlers have used toll-free 800 numbers to carry out many of the scams they now promote via 900 numbers. They include phony free prize and free vacation offers, as well as deceptive credit card promotions. They often begin when the swindler sends you a notification in the mail claiming that you have won something for free or have qualified for credit.

Sometimes, when you call a 900 number, you will be required to listen to a long recorded sales pitch. Remember, the longer you are on the telephone, the higher the phone charges will be. To add insult to injury, at the end of the sales pitch, you will often be directed to phone a second 900 number for additional information or to order your product or service. If you call the second 900 number you will then be billed for an additional 900 number telephone call. Remembering the following can help you avoid becoming a victim of 900 number frauds:

Be suspicious when you receive a prize notification or other promotion which asks you to call a 900 number. There is always a charge for a 900 number call.

Never dial a 900 number unless you are absolutely sure of how much you will be charged and are willing to pay it.

Be wary if after dialing one 900 number you hear a message asking you to dial a second 900 number.

If you have never heard of the company making the promotion, check it out with your local Better Business Bureau or consumer protection agency.

Trust your own common sense. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

If you have been taken by a 900 number fraud scheme and the U.S. Mail has been used in any way, report your experience to your local postmaster or the nearest Postal Inspector.

What do you know about First Apple Cingular – iPhone?

Apple iPhone is not just a phone – it is a phone, music player, video player, internet device, and camera all in one. Like its Apple iPod Nano and iPod video cousins, the Apple iPhone is slim and sleek at just 11.6mm thick, 2.4-inches wide, and 4.5-inches tall.

Steve Jobs has such confidence in the new Apple iPhone that he has said he wants to sell over 10 million of them by 2008. I think he’s setting his sights a little low, and project that Apple will sell over 10 million iPhones in less than 6 months. With the following that Apple has, and the fact that this device has been rumored about and anticipated for almost four years now, it shouldn’t be too far out of the realm of possiblity.

Apple iPhone is a widescreen iPod that features touch screen controls that allow you to enjoy all your content, including audiobooks, music, TV shows, and movies. It features an amazing 3.5-inch widescreen display, and allows you to sync content from your iTunes library on your PC or Mac, making that content also accessible with just the touch of a finger.

Apple iPhone users will be able to scroll through songs, artists, albums, and playlists with just a flick of a finger. One cool new feature of this function is the display of album artwork – you can now use Cover Flow to browse your music library by album artwork for the first time on an iPod.

The Apple iPhone incorporates an accelerometer, which detects when a user switches from holding the phone in landscape to portrait mode, and automatically updates the image on screen to fit the mode. The sensors also detect when you put the Apple iPhone near your phone, and automatically shuts off the display screen until you move it away to save on battery power. An ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the screen’s brightness to the appropriate level for the current ambient light, which enhances user experience and also saves on battery power.

Accessories

As of now, Apple has announced a Bluetooth headset that will work with the Apple iPhone, as well as new headphones that incorporate a small white box in the middle of the cord. This box has a built-in microphone and a switch to answer and hang up phone calls.

The phone is expected to come out in June 2007 in USA, Europe in the fourth QTR and Asia in 2008 and it will be available exclusively on Cingular for $499 on a two-year contract for the 4GB version and $599 for the 8GB version.

The Porsche phone, also known as Sagem P9521 is a very stylish and lightweight cell phone made with high quality finishing and uses materials such as aluminium and glass.

Sagem Phones have a reputation of producing reliable but sturdy mobiles, whilst the P9521 is only 140g’s and has dimensions of 91cm x 48cm x 18cm it still feels solid and can be carried in a shirt pocket or in a gentleman’s trousers!

The handset is equipped with various multimedia functions and has a high-definition touch screen.

The monitor is capable of rendering 262.000 colours with a resolution of 320×240 pixels.

The 2.2-inch sized screen is a flip-out and tilting that offers the Porsche users easy-to-use functionality.

If the retail price of $2000 USD is too expensive, then take notice of other Sagem Mobiles.

Once the ringtone has been synced via iTunes, it is instantly available on the iPhone. The subscriber can keep all iPhone ringtones received permanently during the active subscription period even if the service is cancelled later on.

Using Smart Playlists in iTunes the user can manage the number of simultaneous ringtones to be synced to the iPhone automatically, however, the basic concept is simply to get a fresh new ringtone every week — just like getting an episode of a favorite podcast or TV show.

“We are really exited about this new concept and we are confident that the iPhone ringtones we are producing will make a positive difference for the millions of iPhone users out there. Unlike normal ringtones which are often made from extracts of songs or existing tones, we are producing short songs that are made to be ring tones, they are unique, sometimes even topical and optimized specifically for the iPhones,” said Geoff Smith, Partner and Producer at RingtoneFeeder.com. “We hope to be able to make the sound of your phone ringing more pleasant, maybe even put a smile on someone’s face when the iPhone starts ringing.”

RingtoneFeeder is currently offering two different subscription options. The monthly subscription cost is $1.98 or consumers can opt for a full year at $19.98, which both includes instant access to the 5 most recently produced iPhone ringtones along with at least one new ringtone usually released every Tuesday.

In addition, subscribers have access to a video tutorial about using RingtoneFeeder services, managing ringtones via Start Playlists in iTunes and syncing with the iPhone.

A free demo feed is available so the service can be tried out with no obligations. The free feed contains a few sample iPhone ringtones as well as an introduction video and a PDF guide to managing ringtones via iTunes.

Most of RingtoneFeeder.coms ringtones are written and produced by partner Geoff Smith, who has been producing and playing music most of his life and is mostly known online from his jingles heard on Adam Currys Daily Source Code Podcast, GeekBrief.tv, Tips from The Top Floor, ScreenCasts Online and recently the successful iYule project.

Beside writing the lyrics and producing the original tones, RingtoneFeeder has spent considerable time identifying not only specific instruments but also testing each and every ring tone production to ensure that the tones are within a well defined sound spectrum ensuring the ringtones sounds great when the iPhone is ringing.

Tracking down the identity of an unknown caller is not as hard as you might think. Although you could find out the information you want for free, a lot of your success will depend on luck. It is far easier to get a membership at a private reverse cell phone directory because you are guaranteed to get what you want — owner details, like name, address and wireless service carrier.

People need to lookup phone number details for a variety of reasons. Whether you are concerned about the kids your teenager has been hanging out with, or need to stop a very annoying prank caller, or even need to stop a harassing stalker, conducting a reverse cell phone trace is a very legitimate means of investigating a questionable person — especially if you suspect your significant other may be cheating on you.

But again, in order to find out an unknown person’s identity for free, you’re going to have to be lucky. The only way you can find his or her private information is if they have willingly put it up on the Internet. That way, you can find it by doing a search with their phone number on the major search engines, like Google, Yahoo and MSN. Otherwise, your only option is to make a small investment with a real cell phone database that allows you to conduct reverse lookups on virtually any phone number.

The reason that you can’t find cell phone details online for free is because of the transitory nature of a cell phone number’s life span. People are always changing cell numbers, and as a result they are just too difficult to track on a consistent basis (for free). Maintaining an accurate and up-to-date cell phone database is simply too difficult and costs too much money for it to be available online for free. People are also worried about having their phone numbers out in the open for telemarketers to exploit, so the government has made it very difficult for people to uncover cell phone number details.

But don’t worry, accurate and current reverse cell phone number lookup directories do exist and are very affordable. The best ones will allow you to purchase a lifetime membership for unlimited searches, or, if you don’t feel the need for unlimited access, you can make a smaller investment for just one lookup. They will allow you to do a free preliminary search to see if the information you are seeking is available in their database, at which point you can decide whether or not you want to get it.
