How to receive Google mail alert as SMS on your Mobile phones

It might not be possible for everybody who is out there using mobile phones to be online round the clock in order to check mails. There may be situations where you will not be able to check your mails frequently due to a problem that might have occurred in the data connection of your mobile network or else you may be tired of logging in into Gmail every time you want to check those emails which you receive in bulk.
This is where you have to make use of the Mail Alerts feature in Gmail which allows you to receive Google mail alerts on your mobile phones as SMS. This feature works pretty well in transferring your Google E-mails to your mobile phones even if you are in offline mode on your cell phone.
The two essential requirements that you are supposed to have in order to make use of the Mail Alerts feature are a Gmail account and an account with the SMS service site called Way2sms.com. Way2sms.com is the world’s most popular SMS service site which allows its users to send free SMS’s to anybody, anywhere around the globe. If you already have an account with the way2sms site, then the job is pretty simple and in case, if you do not have an account on way2sms, then here is the link, where you can create one such account with way2sms.com.
Once you have an account created with way2sms.com, then just follow the below mentioned procedure in order to activate mail alerts feature both on your Gmail account and on way2sms account.
  
Here’s the procedure

1)      Login to your Way2sms account and click on the Mail Alerts tab that you see at the top right corner of your way2sms page.

2)      In the Mail Alerts window thus opened, make sure that Gmail tab is highlighted.

3)      While still on the way2sms site, copy the way2sms Email id that will be displayed on your way2sms page. The id will be displayed something similar to ——-@way2sms.com.

4)      Now, login to your Gmail account and then navigate to the mail Settings window.

5)      In the Mail Settings window, click on the Forwarding and POP IMAP option.

6)      Now, in the Forwarding section, click on the Add a forwarding address tab.

7)      Now, in the Add a forwarding Address dialogue box thus opened, paste the way2sms id that you copied previously in step number 3. Once you have entered the address, click on the Next button.

8)      Now, a new dialogue box appears on your screen which says that, a confirmation code (in the form of 8 digits) has been sent to verify permission. This confirmation code will be sent to your Mobile number that you used at the time of registering with the way2sms site. Click on Ok in this new dialogue box to continue further.

9)      Make note of the confirmation code that is sent to your mobile number and in the Gmail settings page, enter that code in the confirmation code box and click on the Verify button.

10)  If you have done everything as said above, you should receive a notification on your Gmail page saying that you have successfully verified the forwarding address.

11)  Also make sure that in your Gmail settings window, under the Forwarding section, the radio button that says Disable Forwarding is not selected but the radio button that says Forward a copy of incoming mail to is selected.

That’s it, from here onwards, every mail that you receive in your Gmail will be transferred to your mobile phone in the form of an SMS.

In case, if you want to remove the forwarding address that you created, then in the Gmail settings window, under Forwarding section, click on the drop down arrow of the Forward a copy of incoming mail to option and click on the remove ——-way2sms.com option from the drop down list.

How to know from where the junk SMS has come from [Partially]

  I always wondered what those two letters added to the sender name of a bulk/junk SMS refers to, like TA-ICICIBANK, BA-FORTUNE, etc. These days, the junk SMS has become a pain and I get unsolicited spam SMSes from Vastu consultant, Astrologer, Real Estate agents, LIC agents, which I have not opted to receive. Today, an article in Times of India says that these junk SMSes have reached an astounding number of 100 million a day sent throughout the country. As the SMS cost has become so cheap, it has become a low-cost marketing trick to reach the targeted customers.

As per TRAI, every bulk SMS must have 2 letters as initials: the 1st letter stands for the service provider sending SMS and the 2nd for location eg, TA is Tata Andhra, BA is BSNL Andhra, etc.

This is the complete chart:

Service Provider	Code
Aircel	D
Airtel	A
BSNL	B
BPL Mobile	L
Loop Telecom	L
Idea Cellular	I
MTNL	M
Reliance Comm	R
Reliance Telecom	E
Spice Comm	P
Tata Teleservices	T
Vodafone	V

So, now you can find out the origination of bulk SMS using the above chart. If you are getting huge number of bulk SMS daily, register for National Do Not Call Registry and see if it can be of help.

How To Installing Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Ubuntu through pendrive

This tutorial will teach you how to create a bootable windows XP/windows 7/ubuntu(any linux) pen drive and install XP/ubuntu(any linux) using this bootable pen drive.
Why would anyone want to install Windows XP from a pen drive??

1. May be their CD drive isn’t working properly like mine, or
2. They don’t want to waste money on a CD

More over installation from a flash drive is faster compared to a CD.
Before we go on with the tutorial here’s what you’ll need

1. 1 USB flash drive, 1GB or larger
2. 1 Windows XP installation disc
3. Assorted files that I’ll describe as we go along.
4. Note: Your BIOS should support usb boot, some older computers may not support USB boot.

Preparing the flash drive
First up, we need to prepare the flash drive.

1. Download and unzip this file, which should contain 2 folders: 1 titled Bootsect, and the other USB_prep8.
2. Navigate to the USB_prep8 folder and click on usb_prep8.cmd. This will bring up a Windows console window.

3. Press any key to continue and a PeToUSB window will open.
    

   
   
4. Make sure your flash drive is selected, and click start to format your flash drive.
5. When the format is complete, click OK, but do not close the PeToUSB window or the Windows Console.

Open a new console window by typing “cmd” into the run box in the Windows Start Menu.

 
   
1. Find your Bootsect folder (if you’re not used to DOS commands, you can type “dir” to list directories and files, type “cd foldername” to navigate to a folder name – called foldername in this example, and if there’s a long folder name you can save time by typing the “cd” and just the first few letters and then hitting the Tab key to fill in the rest of the name).
   
   

   
   
2. Once you’re in the Bootsect folder, type “bootsect.exe /nt52 g:” if “g” is the letter assigned to your flash drive. If it’s E, then change the letter to e. If it’s Z, make it z. Get it?
3. When this is done, you should see a message letting you know that the bootcode was updated, and you can close this console window (but not the other console window).
4. Close the PeToUSb Window, but make sure not to close the remaining console window yet
5. You should now see a list of 8 options in the console.
6. Select one and find the drive with your Windows installation disc.
   
   

   
   
7. Select 2 and pick a random drive letter (but not one that’s already on your PC, since this will be a virtual drive used for copying your files).
8. Select 3 and enter the drive letter for your USB flash drive.
9. Select 4 and follow the rest of the on-screen directions and you should be all set.

The process should take about 15-20 minutes. When it’s done, you should have a bootable USB stick that you can use to install Windows XP the same way you would if you had a CD/DVD drive.
A few notes here. First of all, there’s a chance you may get down to step 15 and the program will tell you that it can’t create the virtual drive. This may happen if you’ve already gone through the whole process and are trying to do it again to fix problems. The solution seems to be rebooting your computer and trying again. Or at least that’s what worked for me.
Second, if you use NLite to shrink/slipstream/otherwise modify your Windows XP installation file, make sure you do not remove “manual installation files,” or your USB stick will be pretty much useless.
Once your usb drive is ready, go to your bios and set USB to first position in boot order. Now plug the usb and restart.
Make sure you back up your important documents and files, firefox bookmarks, and drivers if you lost your drivers cd.

This post explains you how to backup your drivers easily

Creating a bootable ubuntu / linux pen drive

3. Then double click the unetbootin file.
4. This will open up a small window, select disk image and browse to the image on your hard drive and click ok.
5. You bootable pen drive should be ready in 5 to 10 minutes
