Five More Useful Services To Access From Your Phone
Everyone loves free stuff! I looked at the free top five useful services that anyone can access with their phone. You will see below a list of web services where your phone plays a main part in the service. Whether you need someone to wake you up in the morning, or even detailed driving directions, even to make free overseas call, it’s all here and accessible from your phone; Your mobile phone, or your landline phone. Enjoy!
- Yak4ever - This is nice. This service offers astounding free, unlimited overseas calling directly from your phone. Now if only I had overseas friends to call…There are a few other services that work the same way in other areas too.
- AllFreeCalls.co.uk - UK and supports O2 Peak/Off-Peak, Orange/T-Mobile both Peak and Off-Peak
- AllFreeCalls.ie - Ireland
- Bringo - This practical service lets you bypass annoying phone support waiting lines and get to the company representative you need in a matter of seconds. You can: (1) Find the company you’d like to call by category (credit cards, mortgages, health care, etc), Press (2) Enter your phone number. (3) Wait for your phone to ring.
- Tellme - I use to use Tellme all the time. This is yet another free directory service for local businesses, maps, and directions. To use Tellme, you can either Dial (1-800-555-TELL), send text message (to 83556) or download TellMe software to your mobile.
- Call-in-Sick - Don’t like calling in yourself? Or you know you are going to have a late night and don’t want to call your boss in the morning. This evil but rather handy service lets you record ‘i am sick’ type message and schedule it to be delivered to your Boss early in the morning. I have not used the service yet, but I am pretty sure that that would not fly with my boss.
- GoogleSMS - Google just keeps getting better and better. You are now able to get instant info about local restaurants, weather, flight information, movies, translations, driving directions, currency conversions, etc. via SMS.
I hope you find most, if not all these services to be useful. I sure have. There are so many more out there and probably requires a whole other blog to talk about each service available today. However, be sure to check back as I may list some more services that you may want to check out.
What services do you use on your phone and cannot live without?

All the services sound very useful, but Bringo and Tellme really caught my eye - I’m going to have to give these services a shot.
I think your site is very informative, so I was wondering if you would be interested in a link exchange. If you are, please reply via e-mail.
Thanks,
Herbert.
