ByeByeCaller-Fake Calls To Your Mobile

Posted: 24 Nov 2009 07:22 AM PST


Quite often in our daily routine, we all tend to face this annoying Scr000345-168x300 situation of getting stuck at some place or with some human being- like boring meetings, boring get together, a stranger coming close and starts a conversation when we are least bothered to talk to him/her, getting very nervous on your first date- the list is endless.

 

The key point here is that how to get rid of that situation? what’s the best excuse you can give to have an ultimate escape or just to take a break?- this is where BYEBYE CALLER hits the jackpot.  Bye Bye Caller is an application that allows you to receive fake calls(No real calls are made) on your phone. Bye Bye Caller is an innovative application which may find a lot of utility among people.

HOW DOES IT WORK? :

It has a very simple mechanism. You can set the time interval (configurable, default is 30s) after which you wish to receive the call. You can even set the operator name that displays on your home screen when the fake call comes. You can specify the name/number of the person calling. You can set the ringtone(BBCaller just plays the default Nokia ringtone and you cannot change it) volume and the vibration option and you can even set your home screen backlight to blink when the call comes. When the fake call starts, press the red button to stop it.

 

Here, you can set the interval of up to two minutes from the time you wish to receive a phone call. However, you cannot set a clock time as a fixed time to receive the call as in 9.30 AM, 9.30 PM etc.

MY FINAL TAKE :

for now, this app has all the basic features of a fake call but there’s always a scope for development in times to come.

Posted: 24 Nov 2009 06:47 AM PST


FindMe by SMS is very interesting windows mobile app for free which enables its user to get GPS location of device by sending an sms to it.

REQUIREMENTS :

  • Windows Mobile Pocket PC 5 , 6 , 6.1
  • .NET Compact Framework 3.5

Find-by-SMS

TAKE THE FOLLOWING 3 STEPS :

  1. Install FindMeSMS on the Windows Mobile phone to be tracked.
  2. Send SMS to the tracked phone. SMS message must have this code in it: fm?
  3. Receive SMS reply. Click on the link in SMS reply to display map showing location.

The above said three simple steps will bring this simple yet effective app to work on your windows mobile device.

APPLICATION DETAILS :

FindMe by SMS is a pocket pc software developed by adam2022 from xda-dev. A very important thing to keep in mind before downloading and using this app is that- It can be PIN protected, that means only those who know the PIN can find out the location and others cannot. If PIN protection is enabled then the query SMS needs to include the PIN. eg: fm?1234

 

If GPS is not available then FindMeSMS replies with link that includes the CellID (telephone tower) information, and clicking on the link in the SMS message will bring up a map showing location of the phone tower with which the phone is communicating.

 

The best part about this app from xda developers is that it does not drain the battery. It  starts only when the SMS is received, and stops running after  the response had been sent. And on the top of that it Restarts automatically if phone is power cycled.

 

Person whose location is queried is not alerted that their location is queried. So you can use this app any day, any time, anywhere on this planet to track the windows mobile device just by sending a sms to  it.

 

DOWNLOAD findme by sms free for your windows mobile phone.
