Hidden Cell Phone Features & Free 411

For this week's Bulletin, we've located hidden features and free access information for you regarding cell phone use.

The 4 questions answered in today's video are:

1. What is the worldwide emergency number from a cell? (Clue: Not 911.)
2. Can you use your cell phone to unlock a locked car door?
3. How do you permanently disable your stolen or lost cell phone?
4. How can you get free 411 info?

(The video also addresses accessing more emergency power from your phone's battery but we were not able to vet this method ourselves. It may work on your cell.)

BNI Operatives: Street smart: Net Savvy.

Stay safe,

Free, Easy & It Works! WiFi Connection Anywhere

On the run professionals often do not have the capability to immediately access WiFi connections. Simple tasks such as checking email, viewing your daily schedule, performing quick online research for a matter at hand... are made difficult when one is not in his/her own static environment. Trying to manually access a laptop or handheld's connections manager while out of the office becomes a complicated and very slow process.

Recently, we found ourselves in a crunch situation wherein we had to access email that contained important background information for a case, while already in the field and out of contact with the client. We ran across one of the best tools out there for fast and easy WiFi access with, literally, one mouse click. Easy WiFiRadar. Here's the best part - no credit cards. It's totally FREE - and it works!! We've used it for months now.

Check out the Easy WiFiRadar (www.makayama.com/easywifiradar.html), video above. The instructor delivers a quick tutorial that will have you accessing free WiFi in less than two minutes, in one click, guaranteed.

Enjoy a safe Labor Day holiday,
