HOW TO: Buy/Install a Graphics Card

noreply@blogger.com (doVe) — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 17:19:00 +0000

When it comes to buying graphics cards nowadays i see people going into bestbuy and blowing away an extra 200$.
THE EXAMPLES ARE MADE IN AMERICAN DOLLARS
When it first comes to buying a g-card (g-card = graphics card for short) you will have to figure out what kind of slot you have. I found a picture and edited a little.

Those are the kind of slots a PC might have. The best go in order from:

PCI-Ex16>AGP>PCI-Ex1>PCI

Your PC will have atleast 3 PCI or more + a Graphical slot. Dont buy a graphics card for your PCI if you have a PCI-Ex16

To figure out which slot you have, you will have to open the side door to your PC Case.

WARNING: Some New PC's have Warranties. There may be a sticker from your side door to your back of the case. They normally can peel off then you can stick back on. Just watch out.

First i am going to start of with the lowest, PCI.

PCI:

The cards made for that now are just lowest of the low. DON'T EXPECT GOOD GRAPHICS. The highest card for PCI I've ever seen was a 6100Geforce from Nvidia.

Well from decending order best to worse

6100 Geforce
5200 Geforce
All other radeon series you can find for PCI are below this. (i.e. Radeon 7000)

OK.... moving on.

PCI-Ex1:

this is were you have 3 PCI(or more) and a PCI-Ex1.

Look for the Following cards, search Google or something don't ask.

descending order:

ATI Radeon x1550
ATI Radeon x1300
ATI FireMV 2400 <---3d modeling card, not for games Nvidia Quadro4 NVS285 <---3d modeling card, not for games Nvidia Quadro4 NVS440 <---3d modeling card, not for games Thats all i could find. AGP SLOT: There are plenty of cards for this one, so i am going to post this generation and last generation cards. For the best gaming: spend $150-$200 Ati Radeon 2600XT is the latest/ best card for it so far. (Direct X 10) Ati Radeon 1950XT i have no clue were this ranks up against the 2600XT. Nvidia Geforce 7900GS Those to cards are for the best gaming you can get on AGP. For normal everyday gaming. $100 range Ati Radeon 1600XT Ati Radeon 2600PRO (Direct X 10) Nvidia Geforce 7600GT Lowest of low, everyday computing, no gaming: Ati Radeon 2400PRO (Direct X 10) Ati Radeon x1550 Nvidia Geforce 7300GT PCI-Ex16: Due to the many existing cards, im doing this generation only. All others are pretty much out dated. Extreme Gaming (in order least to greatest): EXPECT TO PAY $200-600.... ATI Radeon 2900PRO ATI Radeon 2900XT ATI Radeon 3850($170!) Nvdia Geforce 8800GTS ATI Radeon 3870 (similar performance to 8800GT) Nvidia Geforce 8800GT (similar performance to 3870) Nvidia Geforce 8800GTX Nvidia Geforce 8800 Ultra ($800...) Mid-ranged cards: Ati Radeon 2600XT (beats 8600GT) Ati Radeon 2600PRO Nvidia Geforce 8600GT Nvidia Geforce 8600GTS VERY LOW RANGE OR HTPC's OR INTERNET PC'S: $50-100 Nvidia 8400GS Nvidia 8500GT Ati Radeon 2400PRO Ati Radeon 2400XT Personal opinion: Go for mid-range unless you have the money for a high end card. I bought a 2600PRO pci-e16 and was easily over clocked to 2600XT specs. I think i was lucky because i bought an early card and got one with 2600XT core. If you do buy one to install: 1. Unistall Graphics drivers for current card 2. Turn off PC 3. Insert Graphics card 4. Turn on Pc, and install new graphics drivers (should be on a CD)

How to schedule an update reminder in Windows XP

noreply@blogger.com (doVe) — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 08:46:00 +0000

You can make Scheduled Tasks run a script that launches Internet Explorer 7 with Microsoft Update in one tab and Secunia Software Inspector in another. I use IE 7 in this example because Microsoft Update won’t run in most other browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox. The technique shown below is adapted from a Windows Scripting Host script published by Tony Schreiner in his MSDN blog.

Step 1. Open your favorite text editor, such as Notepad. Type or paste in the following five lines:

var navOpenInBackgroundTab = 0×1000;
var oIE = new ActiveXObject(”InternetExplorer.Application”);
oIE.Navigate2(”http://update.microsoft.com”);
oIE.Navigate2(”http://secunia.com/software_inspector/”, navOpenInBackgroundTab);
oIE.Visible = true;

Step 2: Save the file with a .js extension. For example, I named mine Update-me.js.

Step 3: Choose Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Scheduled Tasks.

Step 4: In the Scheduled Tasks window, double-click Add Scheduled Task. Step 5: In the Scheduled Task Wizard, click Next. Then click Browse.

Step 6: Locate and select Wscript.exe in Windows’ System32 folder. (Or just type c:\Windows\System32\Wscript.exe in the File name box; your path may differ.) Click Open.

Step 7: In the next step of the wizard, select Monthly and click Next.

Step 8: Specify a start time. Select the second radio button and specify the second Tuesday. Leave all months checked. Click Next.

Step 9: Enter your account name and password for an administrator account. (Only administrators can install updates.) Click Next.

Step 10: Check the box for opening advanced properties and click Finish.

Step 11: When the Wscript Properties dialog box opens, click at the end of the line in the Run box. Type a space followed by the path to your script (.js) file. If the path includes spaces or long names, put it in quotation marks. For example, when you’re done, the finished command should read something like this:

c:\windows\system32\wscript.exe “C:\My Documents\update-me.js”

Step 12: Click OK. Enter your account name and password again, if prompted. Click OK.

As long as you are logged in as an administrator on the appropriate day, Scheduled Tasks will open a browser with these two sites, reminding you of this important chore.

How To Speed Up My Torrent Downloads

noreply@blogger.com (doVe) — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 08:37:00 +0000

If you are a Bit Torrent downloader, you know what slow download speeds are like…frustrating and annoying, to say the least. Instead of getting your music or movie within a couple of hours, your software predicts it will take 2 to 4 days.

Now, while many of the speed factors involved are out of your control, there is at least one thing you can do at your receiving end to improve this speed. It is called “Port Forwarding”, or “opening your specific TCP ports”. This is how it works.

1) That blue or green network cable coming out of your computer/modem/router is actually a busy highway comprised of 65,536 tiny electronic lanes (yes, over sixty-five thousand little lanes for your electrons). Each lane is called a “port”, and each port is designed to allow only specific types of information through.

Many ports are assigned in a semi-standardized way. Here are some example port assignments:

- HTML pages: port 80
- FTP file transferring: port 21
- World of Warcraft: port 3724
- POP3 email: port 110
- MSN Messenger: port 6901 and ports 6891-6900
- Everquest: port 1024
- Bit Torrents: port 6881

2) Bit torrents, by default, first look for port 6881 to enter/exit your computer. If port 6881 is closed for whatever reason, torrents then go to port 6882, then 6883, and so on, until it eventually tries port 6999 before giving up.

3) Every ISP, and every home router, can optionally block any of these ports with the intention of preventing hackers and controlling the network.

4) If you tell your own personal router and firewall at home to open (aka “forward”) port 6881 and port 6882, then your bit torrents will find their way into your computer that much faster. Sometimes up to 5x faster.

Yes, opening ports does increase the possibility of getting hacked by unwanted bad guys, but there are means to reduce that threat while still getting fast torrent download speeds.

How to check which version your PC has

noreply@blogger.com (doVe) — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 08:33:00 +0000

If a system has been patched in the past few months, the nine executables in Windows\System32 will either show an earlier version number, 7.0.6000.374, or the stealth patch: 7.0.6000.381. (The version numbers can be seen by right-clicking a file and choosing Properties. In XP, click the Version tab and then select File Version. In Vista, click the Details tab.) In addition, PCs that received the update will have new executables in subfolders named 7.0.6000.381 under the following folders:

c:\Windows\System32\SoftwareDistribution\Setup\ServiceStartup\wups.dll
c:\Windows\System32\SoftwareDistribution\Setup\ServiceStartup\wups2.dll

Users can also verify whether patching occurred by checking Windows’ Event Log:

Step 1. In XP, click Start, Run.

Step 2. Type eventvwr.msc and press Enter.

Step 3. In the tree pane on the left, select System.

Step 4. The right pane displays events and several details about them. Event types such as “Installation” are labeled in the Category column. “Windows Update Agent” is the event typically listed in the Source column for system patches.

Pro CSS and HTML Design Patterns

noreply@blogger.com (doVe) — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 09:33:00 +0000

Design patterns have been used with great success in software
programming. They improve productivity, creativity, and efficiency in
web design and development, and they reduce code bloat and complexity.
In the context of CSS and HTML, design patterns are sets of common
functionality that work across various browsers and screen readers,
without sacrificing design values or accessibility or relying on hacks
and filters. But until now they have not been applied systematically to
HTML and CSS web design and development. With the help of Pro CSS and
HTML Design Patterns, you can reap the benefits of using design patterns
in your HTML and CSS code. The book provides you with all the CSS and
HTML design patterns you need. Web development expert and author Michael
Bowers then takes you through multiple design patterns for text,
backgrounds, borders, images, forms, layouts, and much more. He shows
you exactly how each one works, and how to use them most effectively in
your own projects. After you learn about these design patterns, you'll
wonder how you ever developed web sites without them!

Dual Booting XP and Vista

noreply@blogger.com (doVe) — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 13:08:00 +0000

This Tutorial is on How to Dual Boot XP and Vista together!

Get Started - Using GParted

We assume that before you start this tutorial, you have backed up the drive (partitions and data) that will host the two operating systems.

Your first step will be to modify the Windows XP system partition to make space for Vista using GParted

The GParted Live CD ISO is available here – burn it to CD and boot the system from the disc. The version we used was 0.3.4-7.

Boot the GParted LiveCD. Depending on your system, you should just need to select the auto-configuration boot option...

During boot, press Enter twice when prompted to select the keymap and language settings.

When the main GUI loads, right-click on the main Windows XP NTFS partition (depending on your setup, probably /dev/hda1) and select Resize/Move.

Use the slider to reduce the partition size and free up enough room to instal Vista (at least 10GB) and click Resize/Move.

BE VERY CAREFUL! LEAVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR VISTA BUT REMEMBER HOW MUCH UR XP IS TAKING AND LEAVE THAT MUCH SPACE FOR XP!!

The changes haven’t actually been made, they’ve just been scheduled to run. To commit the changes and resize the partition, click Apply. GParted will ask to confirm the changes – hit OK and away you go.

INSTALLING VISTA

Boot the machine from the Vista DVD. Select the appropriate language and then "Install Now".

Then type ur product key, click next, then agree with the licence terms and click next. Once the install gets to the install location, there should be at least two options: a partition marked as Primary and unallocated space. Select the unallocated space and click Next. The install will then commence.

The Vista boot manager will take over the system completely, and Windows XP effectively loads via Vista. It’s all pretty seamless though, and you shouldn’t encounter any technical problems.

Modify Vista's Bootloader

Once Vista is installed and the system reboots, you’ll be presented with a boot menu with two options: “Microsoft Windows Vista” and “An Earlier Version of Windows”.

This is perhaps a little bit bland, so you’ll probably want to change it. Here’s where one of the new features of Vista comes in, and it’s not so terrific. In Windows XP if you want to modify the bootloader, just right-click on My Computer, select Properties, go to the Advanced Tab, and click Settings under Startup and Recovery, then click Edit. This opens a local file – boot.ini. It’s just a standard text file and you can change pretty much anything. Unfortunately it’s not that easy in Vista – you can still navigate to the Startup and Recovery settings, but all you can do is select which operating system is the default and modify the timeout settings.

To edit Vista’s boot manager you have to use the command line BCDEDIT utility. To access BCDEDIT, run the Command Window as an administrator and type in BCDEDIT.

Unfortunately BCDEDIT isn’t an easy tool to come to terms with, especially as it’s purely command line-driven. So, a great tool to use here is EasyBCD by NeoSmart Technologies. EasyBCD offers a GUI frontend to BCDEDIT, and makes life much easier.

Once Vista is installed, call up the browser and navigate to this link:
http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1

- download, install and launch the application.

To configure the bootloader go to “Configure Boot” – you’ll see the two entries, for XP and Vista. To change the name of Windows XP, just overwrite “Earlier Version of Windows” with “Windows XP” and click Save Settings.

Reboot the system and the changes are visible. You have a dual-booting Vista and XP system. That's all there is to it.

Open up Windows Explorer and there’s two hard drives – the primary disk running Vista and the secondary disk with XP installed. Restart the system and load up Windows XP, and the XP disk is now the primary, with the Vista partition running on the secondary D: drive

If you decide that dual-booting Vista and XP is not for you, EasyBCD lets you wind back the clock.

All you have to do is remove Vista’s boot manager – go to “Manage Bootloader”, select “Uninstall the Vista Bootloader” and then “Write MBR”. Restart the machine and that’s it – the XP boot loader is the only one left on the system and XP loads. You can then delete the Vista partition and use GParted to re-extend the partition to take up the entire disk, or the Extend command in Vista DISKPART.

That's It!

Using Two Computers with One Monitor, Mouse, and Keyboard

noreply@blogger.com (doVe) — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 12:45:00 +0000

If you have more than one computer but don't want to clutter your desk or home with multiple monitors, keyboards, or mice then there is a very easy and affordable solution. A device called a KVM Switch will allow you to connect multiple computers to one device. The KVM Switch does come in different forms and different prices, so there is light at the end of the technology tunnel for basic home users.

KVM is short for Keyboard, Video, Mouse. The regular KVM Switch is about the size of a home router and very easy to understand. This version does tend to cost more, so it depends on how much money you are willing to shell out for the product. Many companies make these products, but the leading manufacturer seems to be a company named IOGEAR. The typical router-sized KVM Switch that IOGEAR manufactures can cost anywhere from $60 up to several hundreds.

There is another option though, for those that want a more "compact" approach to the KVM Switch. These devices are normally referred to as "minis" or "micros" because they consist of a small device with the cables attached. The micro KVM Switch resembles the Squid extension cords you can find at any department store. Most of the micro switches are preferred because they come with the cables already attached, so all the user has to do is connect everything. A majority of these devices are priced starting around $35 and go up in price depending on how many connections you need. They are all rather self explanatory, but for those that are not as technologically savvy, here is a brief rundown of how to connect the micro KVM switches. -First, go to any retailer, even Walmart, and purchase which micro KVM Switch will suit your needs. The package will tell you if it is 2-port, 4-port, etc.

-Take the device home and set your computers in close proximity to each other as well as close to the monitor, mouse, and keyboard you are thinking of using.

-Make sure all equipment is turned off before connecting anything.

-Connect the monitor, keyboard, and/or mouse to the appropriate side of the switch. This is obvious since it will only connect to one side.

-Take each separate set of cables and connect them to the proper areas on your computers for your keyboard, monitor, and/or mouse.

-Boot all computers when done. If you are using Windows or Linux then everything is pretty much done. If you are using Mac, Sun Solaris, or DOS then you will need to follow specific directions that come with the device.

That is basically all there is to it. When you are finished you have full access to the keyboard, mouse, and/or monitor for each computer. Most of these devices also have an "Auto Scan" mode to detect your settings for each computer. Most of them also offer the convenience of using hotkey functions to switch between computers. Basically there is no software required and all the user has to do is connect the devices correctly and turn on the computers; everything else will mostly be done for you.

Another good point is that the devices will work with most average keyboards, mice, or monitors. However, if you happen to use any wireless devices, please consult the package when buying the micro switch, to ensure your device will function properly. However, overall, these devices are brilliant inventions that the average home computer user can set up and use with ease. Plus, they are so small they can be bundled with the rest of your computer's wiring. Since the average price of a 2-port micro KVM Switch will be around $35, any multi-computer owner can have the ease of using their systems without the clutter of multiple devices.

Speed Up DSL and Cable Internet Connections

noreply@blogger.com (doVe) — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 12:42:00 +0000

Often I have sat at someone’s computer in a small office or home and found the internet service lacking. Basically, people set up their computers and local network in a way that makes their service much slower than it can be; this happens most often when you set it up just the way the ISP instructed.

The quickest and cheapest way to drastically speed up your internet responses is to tweak your computers’ network settings and to insert a hardware router. Everyone I’ve convince to do this are amazed at how much faster everything seems to work. Explaining why this is the case is more complex and time consuming than just telling you how to solve the problem. We’ll leave the nerdy tech speak for another article.

Software and configurations are most often guilty of slowing down home and SOHO (Small Office / Home Office) internet connections. To put it simply, you should never use proprietary software (those CDs they send with the DSL/Cable modem) to manage the connection, you should never use the DSL/Cable modem to proxy DNS (Domain Name Services), and you should seldom use the default settings for anything related to connectivity or name services (DNS) even if the system doesn’t act as a proxy...When setting up my local internet connection, my DSL modem claims the default proxy for DNS (if allowed).It’s a DHCP setting and fairly common. That means that every time I need a website with a name, like jasonn.com, it waits for the modem to ask its upstream nameservers and then relays that to my personal computer. This created a painful lag in surfing. In Windows, this is easy to get around. You just go to your connection manager - - right click on and click on the “Lan or High Speed Internet Connection” icon; then click on “Properties”, select “TCP/IP”, click on properties after hilighting “TCP/IP”, look at the “General” tab, and glance down to see the selection option for “Use the following DNS server addresses”. You can find DNS servers that are fast in forums (usually outside the website for your local ISP). Don’t worry necessarily about joining any forums, just go online and search for postings through your favorite search engine. Enter those numbers you find that people report are fastest. They are going to look something like “123.123.12.1″, though that’s not a real DNS server as far as I know. In some cases, friendly ISPs will have fast caching DNS servers they will happily share with you should you ask. Sometimes, they don’t have tech support staff that would know the difference between a fast or slow DNS server.

For example, on my home DSL access, I looked around online (did a Google search to find discussions) and found a server people said was fast - and they were right. I set it in that config section on my Windows box, and it sped up my web browsing by around ten times faster. Yes, it makes that big a differnce in many cases!

Now that you’ve sped your DNS response, which is often guilty for very sluggist web browsing, it’s time to look at how you connect to the internet. Software controlled data connections are bad. Simply put, Windows - almost always the software of choice on which to install such behemoth management tools - gets overloaded with tasks when you surf the web already. Adding the simple but somehow bloated task of managing the connection, or worse, sharing the connection or proxy for other computers is just too much. It will cause your browsing experience to degrade to the point that often responses won’t be much faster than dialup. A hardware router is cheap, easy to install, and always speeds everything up.

Often ISPs don’t support hardware routers. Even if they offer some concoction modem/router directly, sometimes they want you to use their software to manage your connection. Perhaps it’s because they have governors on the bandwidth in their software. Perhaps it’s because they think it’s easier for the average home user. My guess is that it’s just their obsession with micromanaging your every move behind your modem. These services almost never support operating systems that can actually handle NAT (Network Address Translation) or proxy services. They always want you to use whatever home installation of Windows you happen to be running, which only increases the chance that a virus on one computer will knock you offline until resolved. Bypass it with cheap and effective hardware. Get the basics and forget about getting much help from your ISP - it’s not needed or helpful most of the time.

You need to know two things: how you connect to their system and what user/password you may need to access their modem or network connection. In many cases, you can even spend a few extra bucks and toss their equipment if you think it is sub par.

Most cable modems are braindead simple. They connect via mac address, or the physical address. It’s an imprinted network identification that tells the network it is specifically your device. There’s no need in these cases for a username or password unless they’ve specifically required that on the connection. Then, you simply need a DSL/Cable router, which you can pick up online or at many local office supply stores.

If you are connecting through DSL, it will most often require that you connect via PPPOE or PPPOA. What’s the difference? Again, the geeky article will be printed later for your amusement. Today, let’s keep it simple. One setting or the other, they are both simple. You are sending a username and a password just like a dialup connection in order to connect. Most often, theses ISPs cycle their equipment (knock you offline) periodically to keep you from having a hard IP number. Why would they do that? Again, now’s not the time for the geeky conversation. Let’s just say it keeps you from doing things they don’t want you to do, like host a web server… at least they think that anyway. And, that also is another discussion. Your DSL/Cable Router will have a will have a few options, check the ones you know to be correct, add the username or password if your connection requires it, and most often you’ll immediately have a system that connects you automatically and you can just let your computers connect and use the internet with no more hassles.

system need to work from the command line in order to be effective.Linux is
famous for its huge number of command line utility programs, and the programs
themselves are famous for their large numbers of options, switches,and
configuration files. But the truth is that users will only use a limited (but
still significant) number of these utilities on a recurring basis,and then only
with a subset of the most important and useful options,switches and
configuration files.This book cuts through all the noise and shows them which
utilities are most useful, and which options most important. And it contains
examples,lot's and lot's of examples.This is not just a reprint of the man
pages...

And Linux is also famous for its "programmability." Utilities are designed,by
default, to work wtih other utilities within shell programs as a way of
automating system tasks. This book contains a superb introduction to Linux shell
programming. And since shell programmers need to write their programs in text
editors,this book covers the two most popular ones: vi and emacs.

Using Voice Recognition In Windows Vista!

noreply@blogger.com (doVe) — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 19:13:00 +0000

I just got turned on to voice recognition in windows vista and it turns out you can use it to use your computer with a microphone only!

Uses for this feature:
1. Typing papers in under half the time it takes to type (type as fast as you can say a sentence)
2. Opening programs
3. Shutting down windows in a flash!
4. Surfing the net (it recognizes phrases and selects links so you can easily navigate webpages in a flash!)
5. Sending email using microsoft email program! (send emails in 2 minutes instead of typing it in 5)
6. Many more things!!!!!

How to start voice recognition:
1. Go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>Ease Of Access>Windows Speech Recognition.
2. It will start and ask if you want to do the tutorial. If you hit yes and do the tutorial then youre done with this tut if you dont do it continue reading.

3. A box at the top with a mic symbol will appear and will say "sleeping". when you see this box clearly say "start listening" into your mic, the sleep will change to listening. Then say "what can i say" for a list of basic commands. Now if you read them say "close this" to close the window and start using this recognition to speed through your everyday tasks on the computer!

How To Disable Internet Explorer In Windows XP Using The Program Defaults Utility

noreply@blogger.com (doVe) — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 22:07:00 +0000

One way of disabling Internet Explorer in Windows XP is by using the Set Program Access and Defaults utility available as part of all Windows XP installations with at least Service Pack 2 installed.

Make sure you’ve installed and tested an alternative browser (like Firefox) and then follow the easy steps below to disable Internet Explorer using the Set Program Access and Defaults utility:
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: Disabling IE in Windows XP using the Program Defaults Utility usually takes less than 15 minutes
Here’s How:

1. Navigate to the Control Panel by clicking on Start, followed by Control Panel (or Settings and then Control Panel, depending on how you’re setup).

2. In the Control Panel window, open Add or Remove Programs.

Note: In Microsoft Windows XP, depending on how your operating system is setup, you may not see the Add or Remove Programs icon. To correct this, click on the link on the left-hand side of the Control Panel window that says Switch to Classic View.

3. In the Add or Remove Programs window, click on the Set Program Access and Defaults button on the menu on the left.

4. Choose the Custom option in the Choose a configuration: area.

5. In the Choose a default Web browser: area, uncheck the Enable access to this program check box next to Internet Explorer.

6. Click OK. Windows XP will apply your changes and the Add or Remove Programs window will close automatically.

Tips:

1. Since the Windows Update site requires the use of Internet Explorer, manual updates will no longer be possible. Automatic updates, if enabled, should continue unaffected.

2. Even though you may be disabling Internet Explorer, you are not actually removing it. Your Windows XP PC still uses Internet Explorer for a number of internal processes.

3. Keep in mind that updates related to Internet Explorer will still need to be performed because IE is still on your PC.

O2 Free texts trick!

noreply@blogger.com (doVe) — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 17:05:00 +0000

Ok some of you may have noticed that on ebay people are selling instructions for O2 sim card owners on how to recieve 300 FREE texts, WAP time and calls each month. Ebay users are selling this information for £0.99-£3.99!! Seen as i have picked up a few tips/tricks, i give you the info for FREE: 1. Firstly you must have an O2 sim card installed into your mobile phone.(Ie - it must

be the 300 text per month sim!)

2. Please note that there are different O2 sim cards - the 300 a month means

you have to put £10 in every month to receive your 300 texts.

3. Once you have topped your sim card up with some credit you will find you

have the following;

£10 worth of talktime,

300 WAP minutes,

300 texts.

4. Take notice of what date it is on your mobile phone when you top up.

5. Use your phone as normal for that month or until you run out of texts.

6. Once you have run out of texts, reset the date on your mobile phone to the

date when you first topped up and DONT USE YOUR PHONE THAT DAY!!

(meaning that don't make a connection with anyone with your mobile but leave it

turned on!!)

7. The next day you can change your date settings back to normal.

8. Now all you have to do is wait for the new month and you will receive a

message from O2 saying "THANKYOU FOR TOPPING UP,YOU NOW HAVE YOUR FREE 300 TEXT MESSAGES".

9. IMPORTANT!! No matter whereabouts in that month you run out of texts, you

only (ONLY!) get a max of 300 texts per month so make sure you don’t run out

halfway through the month as you will have to wait until the start of the new

month to get your free 300 texts....
