Ten Things You Can Do on Most Cellphones

By Varun Krishnan

1.Alarm

Most mobile phones come with a built in alarm feature which is very useful for people on the move or even you can begin your day with it.I personally have been using my mobile phone as an alarm for the past two years.

2.Calculator

You can use the small calculator in your phone to do small math when you are on the move.

3.Send messages to a group of people

Some phones have provision for organising your contacts into Distribution lists.So you can send a particular SMS to all phone numbers in that group.

4.Keypad Lock

I meet so many people who dont know that there's a feature that helps them lock the keypad when not in use.They complain that calls are automatically made to the last number when they keep the phone in the pocket.This feature varies from brand to brand.But it will be there in any model for sure

5.Call Register

Some people can't keep track of how much time they talk on the phone.Most phones come with life timers which help you even when buying a second hand phone.Call registers contain received calls, dialed calls and missed calls.

6.Dictionary Mode

Many people complain about having to type many characters when sending messages.A simple message to all of them is that there is something called a "dictionary mode" or "T9" as its popularly known.Popular words can be typed easily with this feature.It automatically detects the word from the characters you press.

7.Message Reports

Very often you will need to know if the SMS you sent has been delivered to the intended receipient.Reports are a feature that can help you.If you have activated reports in your message settings then it will indicate if message delivered, pending or failed.

8.Profiles

It might be annoying if your phone screams when you are in a meeting.Profiles can help you manage how your phone behaves. examples are silent,loud,meeting etc.

9.Clock

These days i dont wear a watch because i see the time on my mobile.I am not joking. There are so many people using the mobile as a watch.

10.Call Barring

If you are having a mobile for just receiving calls, then you can make use of call barring
