  How To Make A Call When Your Cell Phone Weak Battery?( NOKIA Mobiles ), Click Here to know  

A little hack found on the forums on about how to access the net from a pc using a mobile with Airtel prepaid card. Enjoy!
Raw Materials: PC/Laptop and necessary connectivity tools ,ie.,
Serial/USB cable OR Infrared Device OR Bluetooth dongle to connect the mobile to the computer.

1) Activate Airtel Live! ( It’s FREE so no probs)

2)Create TWO Airtel GPRS data accounts (yep TWO) and select the
FIRST as the active profile.

3) Connect your mobile to the PC (or Laptop) and install the driver for
your mobile’s modem.

4) Create a new dial-up connection using the NEW CONNECTION
WIZARD as follows

Connecting Device : Your mobile’s modem
ISP Name : Airtel (or anything you like)
Phone Number : *99***2#
Username and Password : blank

5) Configure your browser and download manager to use the proxy
100.1.200.99 and port 8080.( My advice is to use Opera since you
can browse both wap and regular websites)

6) Connect to the dial-up account. You will be connected at 115.2
kbps (but remember, that is a bad joke).

7) Pick up your mobile and try to access any site. You will get “Access
Denied…”(except for Airtel Live!). IT DOES NOT MATTER.
Keep the mobile down.

8 ) On the PC ( or Laptop) open your browser, enter any address ,
press ENTER and…….WAIT

9) After a few seconds the page will start to load and you have the
WHOLE internet at your disposal.
10) Thank the one who gave you this hack!

Don’t charge your mobile the whole night and don’t keep it near by. And never, ever answer a cell phone while it is being recharged.

A few weeks ago, a person was recharging his cell phone at home. Just at that time a call Came in and he answered it with the instrument still connected to the outlet. After a few seconds electricity flowed into the cell phone unrestrained and the young man was thrown to the ground with a heavy thud. His parents rushed to the room only to find him unconscious, with a weak heartbeat and burnt fingers

Never use the cell phone while it is hooked to the electrical outlet!

I think you are already experienced damn slow welcome messages and lots of keypresess to reach the exact information when you call customer service or other IVR systems. In this article i’ll explain how to cut out those craps by automate dialing sequences in your mobile.First of all you should know the key sequences to follow. for eg. i’m using an airtel postpaid connection.
for getting the outstanding balance i have to call 121 first, then it will prompt for the language selection
i need to press 1 to select self servicing option, again it will prompt for the service
( 1 - billing informatione, 2 - GPRS information )

Suppose i need to get the billing information directly

dial - 121p1p1

121 - Customer care number
p - Pause for a second( If you find 1 second is not enough, you can enter more ‘p’ characters )
1 - Self service
p - Pause for a second
1 - Billing information

You can use the same trick with any automated system.

Here is a tip to avoid the delay in reaching the exact thing you want when you call customer service and
any automated IVR systems.
