Once you have the customer on your list you can keep sending them alerts on your new offers, promotions and news.

Such response and conversion you will not be able to achieve through email marketing alone.

It’s been what like about 3 to 4 months and finally the wait is over. The great news for the folks who love to carry iPhone 3G but hate to use their authorized mobile network has arrived. The iPhone Dev-Team has finally done what has been said impossible once. They have hacked the iPhone 3G for any network within the 4 months of its release. The official release is yet to come but they seem pretty confident about what is being said. I’m sure the iPhone manufacturer’s jaws must have popped out of their mouth when they heard this news. I’m so eager to see their reaction on 31 Dec, 2008 when the hack will be released. For now the team seems to be busy packaging the application (formerly codenamed “yellowsn0w”) into a user-friendly application PwnageTool and QuickPwn which will allow for an unlock of the 3G iPhone. I have one more thing to say to the iPhone manufacturer – Dude, you’ve been busted. Hahahah. Ohhh !!! Am I being too harsh???

People must have used free sms sending services over the internet. But how many are familiar to a similar service in a mobile phone. Of course you can browse the same page that you can through your computer and then send sms from that site from your mobile but here is an easy way out. You can just download this free software called cellity freeSMS and use it to send free sms from your mobile. But this software has a big drawback i.e. it’s not just the sms message that gets to the received. With the message go a long link and an advertisement of this software. So, only may be 10 letters of your message will reach the receiver. Anyways, this software still can be used in case of really short smses. I am using it and I must say I am pretty satisfied. It is free after all. One more thing that I forgot to mention. The phone must have internet connection for this software to work. I suggest my readers to give it a shot.

Multimedia files in mobile applications, such as multimedia messaging (MMS), are encoded according to either the 3GPP file format or the AMR/AWB storage format. Therefore, you must convert your existing multimedia files to the appropriate format before transferring them. Multimedia Converter 2.0 runs on Microsoft Windows™ 2000 (SP2) and XP (SP1). With Multimedia Converter 2.0 you can convert common multimedia file formats to 3GPP or AMR/AWB formats.Multimedia converter is used to convert common multimedia files (such as MPEG and AVI files) into multimedia file formats used in mobile applications (3GPP, AMR, AWB). Conversion of existing multimedia files to the appropriate format is needed before using them in mobile applications such as multimedia messaging (MMS).

Multimedia Converter includes console conversion tool (MMConverterCon.exe), which can be used to convert files from command line (useful for converting large number of multimedia files in a single batch). Start MMConverterCon.exe from command line with “MMConverterCon.exe -h” (or without any switches) to see the help message which describes shortly supported switches.

Supported file formats:

AVI , WAV, MPG (MPEG-1, MPEG-2), NIM, MOV (Apple Quicktime), MP3, MP4 (ISO MP4), 3GP (3GPP MP4), AMR, AWB(WB-AMR)

The actual set of supported file formats depend on installed codecs (for example DivX AVI files can be played and converted only if DivX codec is installed).

NOTE: Some codecs are bundled with external software. For example codec for MOV -files is included in Apple Quicktime Player.

Remember, if all needed codecs are installed, but you cannot play the file in Multimedia Converter or in other programs, check that the file is not corrupted. If the file is playable in other programs, but not in Multimedia Converter, check that the file format is supported by Multimedia Converter 2.0. If the file format is not supported by Multimedia Converter, you must convert the file to some format supported by Multimedia Converter, if possible.

“The number you are trying call is currently unreachable, please try again later”. This is the hearing we don’t want to listen when we make a call.This is the hearing you will listen when someone is our of network coverage i.e. Network busy. Or his mobile phone’s battery is down. But this might be great help to someone who wants to stay immune from incoming calls. Some people are very smart enough to do it themselves. Almost every mobile of today’s have facilities to block the incoming or outgoing (esp. Nokia and Motorola) whenever user wish to do. But, unfortunately they can’t block one specific number from whom they are trying to be immune. When they activate the service of blocking all incoming calls, not one of the numbers can be able to make him call. This facility is suitable for couple of situations only like meeting, attending exams, etc. But, what if you want to get unreachable from specific numbers or all the unknown numbers only? You can’t do it through the service mentioned above. Blocking your unknown numbers may cost you high losing other calls from you friends, families and offices numbers.

No problem, I’ve a solution for it. Handy BlackList is the stuff you need now! Get it install in your cell phone. And now you can specifically select the list of people you want to block the calls, or you can block the unknown numbers that are not in your mobile contact lists and stay out of their reach. They wouldn’t be able to make you calls unless you unblock them again.

The only disadvantage is that they can send you SMS instead, though you block them through BlackList software. But don’t worry at all; I’ve stuff for this problem. If you want to be untouched by messages (SMS, MMS) also, then install SmsSpam Manager in your mobile phone. It completely makes you immune of the person whose messages you are willing to block.

You can now completely stay away form the peoples you don’t wanted to get you call or SMS by these softwares… BLACKLIST & SmsSpam MANAGER!!! The person you blocked, no matter how smart he is, won’t be able to know that you are blocking him. Isn’t it great to be at safe side?
