Everyone and their brother has a cell phone today and whether
you use it for business or pleasure, there's a lot you can get
out of your cell phone that you probably don't know about. I'm
sure if you have a cell phone in today's world, you probably
have a text messaging feature. A lot of people don't realize how
much power a text message can really hold and the features it
can really show off. Today, I'm going to show you a few cool
tips that you can use with your cell phone and how you can take
advantage of text messages.
Google SMS - Did you know that Google offers a very cool SMS
service? This service entails you to get anything you want from
directions to movie times straight to your phone via text
message. The best thing about this is that it won't cost you a
penny. You can generally find more information on Google SMS by
Googling the term.
Send reminders - If you're part of a major cell phone carrier,
chances are you can sign up for alerts. I'll give you of an
example. A few years ago, I was renting an apartment and since
the apartment didn't send an actual bill, I had to remember to
pay at the end of the month. So, in order for myself to
remember, I would sign up for an alert that would send me a text
message at the end of every month telling me that my bill was
due. Most carriers like Verizon and ATT will allow you to log
into your account and set reminders like this. You can usually
set them to remind you ever day, month, year, etc.
Send through the internet - Did you know that you can send text
messages through the internet for free? Websites online will
allow you to simply place the number you want to text with a
little message and that website will send you a text message at
no cost at all. There are tons of them out and there and in
order to find them, you can simply Google, "free text
messaging".
Send acronyms - By now, if you haven't started texting, you can
find that texting may take up too much of your time. Instead of
texting out big words, you can simply abbreviate. There are
websites out that that will show a million terms that will allow
you to shorten what you wanted to say. So, for instance, instead
of saying "I have to go now", you can simply type "G2G", which
will mean the same exact thing.
Many people pass the power of text messaging and that don't
realize how many cool things you can actually do with it.
Texting is nice if you just want to send a short message to a
friend or relative and that way instead of calling them, they
can read it at their own convenience. It saves both you and the
recipient the trouble if they are in the middle of doing
something. The next time you check out your cell phone, be sure
to check out the texting feature to see what it's worth.
